911 & Porsche World Issue 257 August 2015

We've been majoring on water-cooled Porsches for last few issues so we thought it was high time we got back to our air-cooled 911 roots. If you believe everything you read, then the 993 seems to have fallen out of favour compared to the Carrera 3.2 and 964 in particular. Not a bit of it. The 993 is still the last and the most developed of the air-cooled 911 generation.
