Received a marketing email from Williams-Crawford promoting a pair of 993s. it starts with a wonderful description of the 993 which ties in exactly with my experience, having previously owned four newer Boxsters and 911s.
I have never purchased from Williams-Crawford and i don't have any association with them. Moderators - please delete if I appear to be promoting the dealer! Here is what they say:
It's the last of the air cooled Porsche.
It's the last of the traditional construction.
It's certainly the culmination of 30 years of 911 development.
It's a 911 through and through and it's one of the greats.
You have a super strong 3.6 flat 6 that runs like a turbine, produces great power through the rev range and is accompanied by a sound that just gets better and better. A more sophisticated chassis and all new (for 993) multi link rear suspension. 6 speed manual or Tiptronic gearbox, a snug cabin with superb seats. A crystal clear rev counter sat directly in front of the driver and an often overlooked feature, a cabin with great visibility.
Expect something very special indeed....something no modern car can give. Something that is impossible to measure and hard to explain. It's a feeling of involvement, of being in tune with beautifully operating machinery. A car you feel as much as drive. A sound that never tires and a feeling of quality, of rock solid assurance that you have no right to expect in most other supercars.
There are other cars with more horsepower, or a higher top speed, or more glamour, but the 993 is more likely to get you there, and back, time after time. It's 170 mph performance and willing engine is rather more effective than the hp number might suggest. A 993 feels free, it hardly needs to try. It's a car that you could easily set off for a cross country drive, or plan a holiday to Italy. A 993 will do it all.
There is a caveat, that is that to fully enjoy the above you must find a good one.
