The Porsche 993 Carrera S represents one of the most desirable chapters in Porsche’s storied 911 lineage. Produced during the final years of air-cooled development, the Carrera S combines the purity and character of the last air-cooled flat-six with the visual drama of the wide-body Turbo shell, creating a model that is both technically significant and emotionally compelling.

Introduced in the mid-1990s, the 993 generation marked a major evolution for the 911, featuring a newly developed multi-link rear suspension, improved refinement and a level of build quality that many enthusiasts regard as a high watermark for Porsche. The Carrera S sat proudly near the top of the naturally aspirated range, pairing the evocative wide arches, deeper stance and red reflector rear light strip with the classic rear-wheel-drive layout, delivering a driving experience that is both engaging and beautifully balanced.

Powered by the revered 3.6-litre air-cooled flat-six engine, producing approximately 285 bhp, the Carrera S offers a rich mechanical soundtrack and a level of throttle response that modern cars can only aspire to replicate. Performance remains impressive even by today’s standards, yet it is the tactility, steering feel and sense of connection that truly define the car. Whether driven with intent on a flowing road or enjoyed as a grand tourer, the 993 Carrera S feels special in every scenario.

Inside, the cabin blends traditional Porsche ergonomics with timeless design, offering superb visibility, supportive seating and an unmistakably analogue driving environment. Every switch, dial and surface reflects the era before digital intervention, reinforcing the sense that this is a car engineered first and foremost for the driver.

Hilton & Moss are pleased to present this fantastic early example, first delivered in November 1996 by long-standing dealer AFN Porsche Reading. Specified in Arctic Silver, with silver wheels and a black full leather interior with Sports seats, the car adheres to a now timeless 911 aesthetic.

The engine has been paired with the Tiptronic S transmission, and the car drives wonderfully, having just received a major level service by Porsche Hatfield, a prominent dealer in the Porsche Classic network. Impressively, they have also carried out all of the servicing on the car for the past 25 years.

Most notably, this Porsche features an unrivalled service history and has covered just 43,800 miles over the last 29 years. The majority of this mileage was covered in the cars early life, with the car now benefitting from a much more relaxed lifestyle, having been in the same ownership for over two decades. As a result, the car presents wonderfully and the paperwork and history back up the cars provenance and condition. At the cars last visit, Porsche themselves commented on the condition of the car, stating it was very likely one of, if not the, best in the UK.

Having been inspected and prepared for sale by our in-house marque expert, this Porsche is ready for a new owner to continue its journey, and enjoy this fantastic 911 on the open road.

Highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts alike, the Porsche 993 Carrera S stands as a landmark model. The last of the air-cooled, wide-body Carreras and one of the most elegant interpretations of the 911 shape. It is a car that transcends trends, combining rarity, usability and enduring appeal. With comprehensive history, and an excellent all round condition, here presents an opportunity to acquire a true modern classic from Porsche’s golden era.
