The 993 Turbo is a 400hp air-cooled rear-engine widowmaker with twin turbos and zero electronic safety net — and that's exactly why people pay supercar money for one.

Water-cooled, Mezger motor, real aero, and it'll gap a 993 Turbo all day on a circuit without trying to park itself in a ditch. But nobody's putting a 996 Turbo poster on their wall and you know it.
