Porsche 911 Turbo (WLS II)
(1995 - 1998)
Car articles about Porsche 911 Turbo (WLS II) by year
When Porsche launched the 911 Turbo, the first European production sports car with a turbocharger, in 1974, the signs on the horizon looked bad with the energy crisis and fears of inflation. But 500 planned units soon turned into thousands and even tens of thousands to date. Eight generations have been built to date, this report compares them and shows the air-cooled ancestors in particular in over 200 pictures.
The Porsche 993 is regarded as the best and most reliable air-cooled 911 and enjoys a very stable performance. Visually, it has a special position between the 964 and the water-cooled 996 and, thanks to the many variants, there is a 993 to suit almost everyone. This driving report focuses on the 272 hp 993 Cabriolet from the first years of production and shows it in current and historical images. Sales literature and a sound sample are also included.
...is not always well done. As a completely new design, the Porsche 911 GT1 for the 1998 season was supposed to make up for the two unsuccessful previous years. But even as a pure racing car without any reference to series production, the 911 GT1/98 only managed a single victory - but it was the most important one to be won that year. This article tells the story of Porsche's last Le Mans overall winner from the 20th century.
While Mercedes-Benz was gaining ground in the GT1 class at the end of the 1990s, Porsche was struggling on the racetrack. But when it came to winning the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1998 to mark the 50th anniversary of Porsche's automobile construction, the GT1/98 had exactly what was needed.
