Over the years the 911 had received numerous aerodynamic and safety-inspired add-ons, diluting the purity of the original form. The Type 993's arrival marked a return to basic principles, being recognizably a 911, but one in which all functions had been harmoniously integrated in a truly outstanding example of modern automotive styling. The 993-range offering was comprised of the familiar two- and four-wheel drive models, a Cabriolet convertible, the Turbo, but also included the new range topping 1997 993 Turbo S. All were powered by the latest, 3.6-liter version of Porsche's perennial flat-six engine. Among the new features on the 993 Turbo was an electronically controlled viscous coupling all-wheel drive system—something Porsche had not offered on a turbocharged model since the 959—the system greatly improved the performance of the Turbo. Under the engine lid—now topped with a sculpted spoiler tail with downturned edges—resided the 3.6-liter flat six fed by twin KKK K16 turbos, each featuring integrated wastegates and two charge air intercoolers. Combined with bigger brakes, fatter tires, a wide body and stance, and specially designed "Technologie-Rad" cast alloy wheels, the 993 Turbo was one of the fastest cars on the planet. However, Porsche's Exclusive Department was not yet satisfied. On a mission to produce the world's highest performing, most technologically advanced 911 variant to ever leave Stuttgart, the 1997 993 Turbo S was created. Packing 424 horsepower for the U.S. and Global markets, the Turbo S featured a myriad of updates throughout. The Turbo S was visually distinguished by vented rear fenders, yellow brake calipers, a special rear spoiler, four-tipped exhaust system, and an Aero kit front spoiler with special ventilation and fog-light placement. From its introduction, the Turbo S was—and remains—a tour de force as one of the most powerful and sophisticated Porsche models ever unleashed. Thanks to its status as the final air cooled 911, popularity of the 993 has steadily increased as the years go by. THE MOTORCAR OFFERED This outstanding example of Stuttgart's highest performing 911 available to the U.S. of the period was completed on July 24, 1997 and destined for the U.S. Ordered new by car collector and LA Times publisher Otis Chandler, this ranks among the most highly optioned Turbo S examples on the planet. Chandler specified the car as an homage to Mark Donahue's Sunoco-sponsored, Penske run Porsche 917/30 that dominated the 1973 season (it didn't hurt that Chandler had a 917/30 in his own collection at the time). As such, there was little regard for cost when it came to the option list—and what an exhaustive list it is. 24 option codes are listed on the build decal, with the Porsche Certificate of Authenticity listing them in detail. Non-metallic paint-to-sample blue was specified on the exterior with yellow and red decal graphics on the sides, front and rear along with yellow Turbo S script. Inside the option list exploded with dual racing style sport seats in the full Midnight Blue leather interior offset but yellow stitching and seatbelts. White faced gauges with red trim rings furthered echoed the theme while the raciness of the whole package was turned to 11 with carbon fiber door cards, door pulls, and dash. In case the roar of the twin turbo flat six wasn't the right soundtrack for the moment, a digital sound package and remote 6-CD changer was also included. Oh, and while we're at it, the rear seat ha
