1996 Porsche

Now available at Premier GT is this 1996 (N) Porsche 993 Carrera Cabriolet Tiptronic S, finished in Iris Blue Metallic and covering 76,755 miles from new.

A Last Hurrah for Air-Cooled Purity, Draped in Open-Top Elegance. There are cars that define eras, and then there are cars that close them. The Porsche 993 is the latter—an exquisite, final love letter to air-cooled engineering, penned with precision by the finest minds in Stuttgart. And when you take that masterpiece and peel back the roof, you get this: the 993 Carrera Cabriolet Tiptronic S.

Underneath its gently flared arches lies Porsche’s legendary 3.6-litre flat-six, singing through an exhaust note that’s mechanical, rich, and wholly analog. It's not shouty—it’s sophisticated. A voice from a time before turbochargers dulled the edges, before filters and regulations took the character out of character.

And yes, this particular car is fitted with the Tiptronic S transmission, let’s be clear: in the real world, this gearbox works. It might lack the whip-crack immediacy of a manual, but it compensates with a smoothness that makes this cabriolet a truly usable classic. Whether you're slicing through a coastal road or simply cruising top-down on a Sunday morning.

The 993’s road manners are still sublime. There's a tactile quality to the steering, a beautiful weight to the controls, and a poise over the tarmac that modern cars, for all their tech, still envy. And with the cabriolet, you get to feel more of it—hear the engine more clearly and be part of the drive in a way that’s uniquely visceral.

This isn’t just a convertible 911. It’s the end of an era, delivered with grace, charm, and just the right amount of Stuttgart stubbornness.

This truly stunning example is now available for immediate purchase from our West Sussex showroom.
