Background

The 993 was the final 911 with an air-cooled engine, which fixes its position in the model's history regardless of anything else about it. Its most consequential change was at the back: a multi-link rear axle replaced the semi-trailing arms the 911 had used since 1963.

The 3.6-litre flat-six continued, now with a six-speed manual gearbox. The Turbo of 1995 was the first 911 Turbo with two turbochargers and the first with all-wheel drive as standard, while the GT2 was built rear-driven for competition homologation.

The Targa returned for 1996 in a new form, replacing the removable panel and roll hoop with a glass roof that retracted over the rear window — an arrangement later generations reused.
