This magnificent example of the 1996 Porsche 911 (993) Twin Turbo 3.6L Coupe is finished in an extremely rare paint-to-sample color known as ‘Violet Blue Metallic’ or ‘Veilchenblaumetallic’, paint code 37e. This particular 911 Turbo was modified by @renntechkw, who added a @fvd_brombacher exhaust system with headers, modified GT2 turbos, plus an intercooler and air filter with @fvd_brombacher DME/ECU. The owner, @skyline.collector also has this beautiful machine sitting on a set of discontinued 3-piece wheels and a KW V3 suspension. This car was sourced and delivered by @mfelsbourg! In March of 1995, when Porsche introduced the eagerly awaited type 993 Turbo at the Geneva International Motor Show, automotive press and enthusiasts became attracted to the model without hesitation. The all-new 993 Turbo introduced impressive performance figures, new technology, features, and noteworthy specifications. For the 1996 model year in specific, just around 3,841 total examples of the 911 Turbo were developed, with only 1,357 of those units being destined for the US/Canada market, however, it’s safe to say only a handful if any others at all were finished in this rare paint to sample color. The 993 Porsche first ever debuted in January of 1994 as a major overhaul and successor to the previous 964 generation, and from it’s introduction, to the end of production, in 1998, approximately 68,029 units of the Porsche 911 Type 993 were developed for the world across several variants, all of which vary in body style, performance, and more. The model also featured redesigned cylinder heads, air-to-air intercoolers, and a number of other modifications underneath the hood. On the outside, the 911 (993) Turbo boasts redesigned front and rear bumper moldings, a fixed ‘Whale Tail’ rear wing, and widened wheel arches, which are one of the Turbo’s most distinguishable design elements.
