The Porsche 911 (993) is the fourth generation of the famous 911 series and was produced from 1993 to 1998. This generation was developed under the leadership of German engineer Anthony R. Hatter and the then chief designer Harm Lagaay. The Porsche 911 (993) gained great acclaim as it was the last 911 with an air-cooled engine, which used a 3.6-liter boxer engine producing 272 to 450 horsepower depending on the model variant. This generation was characterized by a rounded appearance, an integrated bumper, and an updated chassis that made the car even more dynamic and comfortable to drive. Technical highlights included the introduction of the multi-link rear suspension and the six-speed manual gearbox.
