is the 993 the last air-cooled 911?

Question

Accepted Answer

Yes, the **993 is indeed the last air-cooled 911**!

The 993 generation (produced from 1994-1998, covering model years 1995-1998 in the US) was the final Porsche 911 to use air-cooled flat-six engines. When it was discontinued, it marked the end of the air-cooled era that had defined the 911 since its introduction in 1963.

The next generation, the **996** (1997-2006), was a major departure from tradition—it featured an all-new chassis platform and, most significantly, introduced Porsche's first water-cooled 911 engine. This made the 993 a bit of a "last of its kind" among enthusiasts, which is part of what makes cars like this '96 Carrera Cabriolet special.

Is there anything else you'd like to know about the 993 generation or this particular Speed Yellow example? I'm happy to help!
