In-game description

"As the last in the 911 series to use an air-cooled engine, the 993 is a much-prized model. It's the perfect way to experience the 911 with a naturally aspirated engine. As with other RS models, this designation indicates that the car was based on a motor sports version. The lightweight body and more responsive engine pair well with the classic Porsche RR layout. Indeed, the more you drive this 911, the more you'll come to appreciate it."

Car Index (GT7)

The Type 993, introduced in 1993, was the last 911 equipped with an air cooled engine. The car was visually quite different from the previous model too, with a lower, flatter front end that was highlighted by a new headlight design.

Mounted aft of the rear wheels was the 3.6-liter flat-6 from the previous model, but in the 993, it was tuned to produce 268.2 HP and 243 lb-ft of torque. This engine came mated to either a 6-speed manual gearbox or 4-speed Tiptronic transmission.

The most powerful version of the Type 993, the Carrera RS introduced in 1995, came powered by a 3.8-liter engine that produced a 295.8 HP. The RS also featured a more rigid body, while curb weight was reduced by deleting the rear seats. The 993's rear suspension, a new multilink design, was stiffened for better stability through corners. A track version of the RS was offered, called the Carrera RS Club Sport, which featured a large front spoiler, rear wing, and a welded roll cage.

Café Conversations (GT7)

Hideo Kodama

You might say that Porsche is Volkswagen-inspired not only in the architecture of its cars but also their overall design... Which is said to be owing to the genius of Erwin Komenda, Ferry Porsche's right-hand engineer. Yet it was Ferry's son Butzi who would work this theme into the modern 911. With headlamps set at the end of its elongated front wings... A sloping rear, and elliptical side windows... It is a basic example of the 'Jaray-style'. Naturally, the basic principles behind this design style are also evident in the 993 911 Carrera RS.

Trivia

• Installing a rear wing from GT Auto will also add the larger rear wing from the Club Sport model, which serves as a mount for the extra wing.
• This car originally had a wrong sound which is different from the one used by the Clubsport counterpart and the 964 Carrera RS. This was fixed in version 1.32.
