993

[FesterNath]

993, in any form - perhaps barring the cabriolet - is surely the best looking 911 ever?

[Butzi]

Agree! Perhaps the 356 Speedster comes very close if not slightly better looking. Personally I prefer the narrow body ones.

i agree completely

993C2

[MR DVD]

Yep, I agree, but i'm also a bit biased..

[james_j]

Full agreement here.

If they were made new, right now I'd have one (not just because of the looks).

[Dr Strangelove]

With 18" TurboTechs. it's moving even when it's standing still. It will be 'The Classic' as the years roll by. Have you seen the dealer prices for good, clean one's?...

[turbobloke]

Don't have a 993 but no disagreement here if you're talking Turbo 4 or wide body S. It's a hip thing

[Pickled Piper]

I just peeked out of the curtains to look at mine on the drive way. Wow! i have to agree.

Biased again, but agree. Still biased, I lurve the widebody, 'nice arse' look - it's a very sexy shape. Add twin turbos and those big red calipers coyly peeping out through beautiful wheels and it just makes an amazing package!

[cuneus]

I'll have a 993 turbo 4, one day maybe!

996 =

Sad to admit, I've spent hours looking at the picture of my baby on our first track day together. Sexy from every angle.

I'm going to break the trend here and disagree. No, I don't think that the 993 is anything but stunning, but I personally have a bit of bias (I'm not alone here then!!!) in having a fondness for the cabriolet, too. You may disagree, but a quick look at mine and I hope you'll agree it's no ugly duckling!

[Mad Gypsy]

Whilst the 993 is a beautiful car (all 911's are). For me, the 996 with GT3 kit, 18in rims and 10-30mm lower suspension is simply the best looking 911 ever, the 996 C4s comes close. I prefer the non round headlights of the 996, especially the MKII

Horses for courses, different strokes, it takes all kinds etc etc

You're all SICK !!!!!

Merry Christmas, Maurice

Jem, that is one lovely looking car.

Unfortunately you have the ideal weather for a rag top. Most of the other protagonists here live in England. It rains here. A lot.

Great car!

Yeh, have to disagree with myself (?), maybe my thoughts have been tainted by the idea of a 4-speed tiptronic cabriolet, of which there seem to be so many!

[roygarth]

IMHO Rear and rear 3/4 side view 993 is one of the best. Front and front 3/4 side view is not so good!

[kent993]

Aa another 993 (Targa) owner, I'm bound to agree - I think they're gorgeous. As for which view is the best, I also tend to agree about the rear three-quarter view, though there's a shot on my profile that I think is even better. Not the one on the profile itself, but if you scroll to the bottom and look at the "Current car" pics, there's one taken from the OS rear and above, looking down on the car on the day I bought it. It's still my favourite shot. Much as I like all Porsches, the 993 has to be the best-looking!

Agreed
With personal bias running high in this thread I thought I'd show pictorially one of the reasons why I haven't put a 993tt on the driveway - the shape of my 965's rear end is just soooooo, er, purposeful


The other reason isn't obvious from static pics

[simonharrod911]

I've had every Carrera released since 1984, I think the best looking cars are the 964s. 993 is a lovely shape, but the lights detract from the classic 911 shape too much.
