Description

To Be OFFERED AT AUCTION WITHOUT RESERVE at RM Sothebys' Paris event, 4 - 5 February 2025.

  • The final incarnation of the air-cooled 911; the first Turbo to feature four-wheel drive
  • Factory finished in the wonderful shade of Speed Yellow to complement black hide
  • Powered by a 3.6-litre flat-six featuring two turbochargers to produce 408 horsepower
  • Retained from new by the factory for use in Porsche's press fleet
  • Acquired by The Curated Collection in December 2017

An example of the final generation of 911 to feature an air-cooled flat-six, the 993-type Turbo offered here was finished in glorious Speed Yellow, with the exterior capped off by red brake callipers sitting behind 18-inch Techno wheels. A black leather cabin is equipped with conveniences such as heated front seats, air conditioning, cruise control, and power windows—in-keeping with the Turbo model’s ability to blend performance with luxury.

Holding a 31 January 1995 date of production, this car was retained by Porsche and used as a factory press car. During its press duties, it was photographed for a Road & Track article by Paul Frère in the June 1995 issue. Evidence of its history is in the service book, and it appears to have moved to Italy in the early 2000s before being serviced in France from 2007. This Turbo was sold via August Porsche SA of Ohain, Belgium in December 2017 to The Curated Collection. It was then noted as showing 69,502 kilometres.

A major service was carried out by Kronos Porsche of Mont-Saint-Guibert, Belgium in July 2022. The invoice (available to view on file) totals €9,000 to cover an engine-out belt change plus the installation of a new wiring harness.

Used sparingly in recent years, this Turbo displayed 70,789 kilometres at the time of cataloguing and is accompanied by its owner’s guides, space saver spare wheel, tool roll, and jack. One of the most sought-after Turbos, finished in an iconic colour, this example would be well-suited to any enthusiast.
