Description

Porsche is not a company that needs to advertise its vehicles- everyone knows the name and car enthusiasts can almost always be sure anything that comes out of the factory in Stuttgart is going to be something they want to own. That doesn't stop them from running some of the most famed ad campaigns in automotive history. The formula was always the same, their newest model, in motion with an exciting action shot, paired with a slightly tongue-in-cheek phrase that would grab the attention of whoever looked at it. Some of the most famous takes on this came during the production of the 993. The rear ¾ view of an Arena Red 993 Turbo with “Kills Bugs Fast” in bold font along the bottom or a Black 993 Carrera 4 taken from an outstandingly low angle in the rain with the phrase “Like Peanut Butter to The Roof Of Your Mouth”. With photography from Porsche legend Clint Clemens, these advertisements have gone on to become iconic to anyone who loves sports cars. It probably helps that the cars Clemens was taking pictures of were also some of the most beautiful vehicles ever made by Porsche- all of which have gone on to become legendary in their own right. The 993 Carrera S exemplifies that status as a one-year-only model- featuring the wide rear bodywork from the Turbo combined with a revvy naturally aspirated, air-cooled flat-6. The Carrera S was only built in ultra-limited numbers and has become one of the most sought-after 993s produced.

This beautiful Arena Red 993 Carrera S was originally delivered to Sunset Porsche of Beaverton, OR and exceptionally well-optioned by its first long-time owner. Showing just 39,178 miles, this Carrera S was in the hands of its original owner until being sold to Florida in late 2021. Set up to be an enjoyable drivers car, it was optioned with the Motor Sound Package and lightweight Technology hollow-spoke wheels along with a 6-speed manual transmission. The interior is outfitted in Cashmere Beige supple leather interior with black carpets, dash, and steering wheel. There are also numerous Exclusive options which include Porsche crests on headrests, deviating carpeting, deviated seat stitching and stainless steel door entry guards. Recently, the car was treated to a full service as well as a multi-stage paint correction which was followed up by a Ceramic Pro coating and full front-end Xpel PPF to keep the car looking great for years to come. When these unique options are combined with the fact that this car has been lovingly cared for and serviced from new, this car will always be enjoyable to drive and is a great addition to any car collection.
