The Real Car Story

The 1996 Porsche 911 Carrera (Type 993) was the successor to the 964-generation and the last of the air-cooled 911s — a lineage that stretched back to 1963. Designed by Tony Hatter and Harm Lagaay, the 993 featured a smoother, more aerodynamic body, an all-new multi-link rear suspension, and a refined 3.6L flat-six engine producing 272 horsepower. The Carrera was the street-oriented model, offering the perfect balance of everyday usability and sports car thrills. With production ending in 1998, the 993 remains one of the most sought-after classic 911s among collectors and driving purists.

Why Collectors Love It

The ’96 Porsche Carrera casting debuted as a 2019 New Model and has become a perennial favorite for its accurate proportions and timeless 911 silhouette. This 2026 recolor in metallic root beer with yellow Carrera script stripes gives the casting a classic, period-correct look that pairs beautifully with modern Porsche releases in the Then and Now series. The chrome 5-spoke wheels and brown interior add premium finishing touches.
