PORSCHE 993 CARRERA SUPERCUP 3.8

Description

The A presents the PORSCHE 911 TYPE 993 CARRERA SUPERCUP — 1994

A legacy of racing. The final generation of air-cooled models.
As the final generation of air-cooled Porsche 911s, the 993 represents the culmination of a now legendary design. In its Carrera Cup specification, it embodies one of the most authentic expressions of Porsche racing in the 1990s.
This 1994 example stands out for its remarkable racing history, its original engine, a full restoration and a collection of archives chronicling several decades of competition.
A car whose appeal extends beyond mere performance into the realm of historic Porsche collectables.
AN AUTHENTIC RACING HISTORY
Originally delivered in Switzerland, this Porsche 993 Carrera SuperCup forged much of its racing history on French and European circuits.
Competing in the Porsche Cup from 1995 to 1998, it continued its career in the C2 class of the FFSA French GT Championship in 1999 and 2000.
Its longevity on the track was crowned by three consecutive Club Europa C2 championship titles in 2005, 2006 and 2007.
A particularly impressive list of achievements, testifying to the competitiveness of this Porsche and its ability to remain high-performing well beyond its early seasons.
AN ORIGINAL 340 CHEVAUX FLAT-SIX
This Carrera SuperCup retains its original engine, a naturally aspirated 3.8-litre flat-six, which originally produced 310 chevaux.
Its tuning was entrusted to Ofzky Performance, a renowned Swiss specialist in air-cooled Porsche engines.
Power now stands at 340 chevaux, as measured on the dynamometer, giving this 993 performance that perfectly matches its sporting pedigree.
The preservation of the original engine is a particularly welcome feature for a car that has enjoyed such a long racing career.
The character of the naturally aspirated flat-six, its mechanical sound and the precision of its manual gearbox all contribute to a driving experience that has become rare today.
A RESTORATION FAITHFUL TO ITS IDENTITY
In 2004, this Porsche underwent a complete restoration, returning it to its original specification and its iconic Indian Red livery.
During its career, it had successively sported various racing liveries, notably yellow, orange and blue, then white and blue, depending on its racing commitments and sponsors.
Its chassis is reported to be accident-free, a crucial factor in assessing the integrity of a genuine Porsche racing car.
This restoration now contributes to the car’s excellent condition, whilst preserving its historical identity.
DOCUMENTED PROVENANCE
The history of this Carrera SuperCup is accompanied by a particularly comprehensive set of documents.
Two voluminous binders contain material tracing its sporting and mechanical history: maintenance invoices, race reports, period photographs of races, restoration records and press articles.
This documentation provides a genuine account of its history and allows the car to be placed within its sporting context.
For a historic competition Porsche, the richness of these archives represents a major asset, both in terms of understanding its provenance and its heritage value.
A PORSCHE THAT STANDS OUT IN THE BRAND’S HISTORY
The 993 generation marks the end of a pivotal era for Porsche: that of the air-cooled 911s.
Its racing variants hold a special place amongst collectors, combining an iconic mechanical design with the history of single-make championships and motor racing in the 1990s.
With its racing history in the Porsche Cup and the FFSA GT series, its three Club Europa C2 titles, its original engine and its historical documentation, this example offers a particularly compelling combination of features.
It is aimed at collectors seeking not only a competition Porsche, but also a car whose history can be recounted and documented.
THE VISION
Some cars become exceptional because of their rarity. Others become so because of their history.
This Porsche 993 Carrera SuperCup possesses an additional dimension: that of having genuinely competed, racked up race entries and won titles, whilst retaining essential elements of its identity.
Its track record, original mechanics and extensive archive lend it genuine legitimacy within the world of historic Porsches.
A Porsche with character, a racing car and a collector’s item, whose value lies as much in its history as in its authenticity.
