PORSCHE 911 CARRERA S COUPE 1997

This extremely special 1997 Porsche 911 (993) Carrera S is a C16 right-hand drive, manual example finished in Arctic Silver Metallic over Elephant Grey leather interior, featuring the ultra-rare Turbo S aero package and side intakes (option codes X79 and Y75). A well-specified car from factory, the seller has taken it to the next level following a comprehensive restoration and performance enhancement completed by renowned Porsche specialists Ninemeister, with the goal of exceeding factory standards while retaining OEM+ character.

The engine has been fully rebuilt to 9m’s 3.8L 993RS+ specification, producing approximately 320bhp. This includes a Mahle 3.8 cylinder kit, RS camshafts, head studs, single pulley and vernier gear conversions, along with Motronic tuning. Other upgrades done to the car include a 9m midweight flywheel, new clutch, Wavetrac LSD, Fister Stage 2 mufflers, and a motorsound airbox. Suspension and chassis improvements consist of KW V3 coilovers, 993RS engine mounts and wishbones, GT2 Evo track rod ends, refurbished steering rack, and upgraded braking components including Turbo S ducts and new rear discs and pads.

Inside, it benefits from a 993RS gear selector and steering wheel, PCCM stereo with upgraded speakers, and subtle modern touches like LED lighting and new headlight lenses. Additional work includes a new A/C pump and re-gas, restored chassis legs, new battery, washer jets, and a set of Michelin PS2 tyres.

The result is a beautifully balanced, driver-focused 993 that looks the part and performs to a significantly higher standard than its original factory form. This Carrera S is one of the most impressive we have had the pleasure of retailing, with its work completed to a phenomenal standard and with zero expense spared.
