Chris talking about the subtle fading on the dials is perfection. Like the way an Antiques Roadshow expert can talk about tiny nuances in jewellery/art/etc to place things with pinpoint accuracy. In his element. Love it!!
The 993 has always been the Porsche of my childhood. I’m too young to remember the 964s. But I did saw once a C4 parked outside my neighbors. Still remember the day, still had the engine lid popping out for cooling. I was probably 4, I was thinking: what on earth is that . Is unfortunate that now these shoot in value so much. Feels like my generation can’t enjoy their childhood heroes
I've owned a '97 993S (bought new) and a '97 993 turbo (bought with 2K miles), and they are wonderful cars. The Speedline wheels just look so perfect on them. Many times I wished I had kept the turbo as the prices now are sky-high, which I ended up selling when I got a 2010 997.2 GT3RS.
You make me feel old. I def remember when the 964 came out and own a C4 from 92 . Luckily bought it when 964s were just Cars with leaky engines and big ugly front bumbers. Of course this was before Magnus Walker and Singer. 😊
@@bryanloki6560 Truth be told, since I won't be able to afford my own house where I live, I am thinking about "investing" money into a 993, meaning: fun. And I think moneywise, there are way worse option when it comes to cars, thinking that I normally should not lose an awful lot of money if I decide to sell it again later.
It sold for £456,000. This is a collector’s piece and its buyer bought it as an investment. The 993 is a brilliant car, but at that money it’s way out of an enthusiast’s hands. I was on track days with these in period and they were brilliant, drifty, super manageable driver’s cars - the featured RS’s drifting days are long behind it.
Standard 993RS could be optioned with the CS rear wing. I bought a '95 RHD in 2000, from AFN Chiswick, with the standard wing in Midnight Blue. I remember that at the same time there was another in the same color for sale at AFN Guilford that had the CS wing. Both were sub £60K at the time. Two of a total of 47 RHD's imported to the UK. OMG, I wish I hadn't sold it in 2005
Owned one 993rs and a 964rs ….. both incredible cars , raw , involved and totally mechanical in terms of driving ……. They shared a garage with my 1999 996 Gt3, (this was 99) what a collection now that would be Wish they were still in the garage
I have a love for Porsche, especially this one. I love anything Vintage, when someone looks after an item as rare as this, makes it extra special. Chris Harris, the passion this guy has for cars and his love for them is outstanding. He doesn't need to tear around a track to show what the car can do, drive it around the streets and let it present itself. Chris is by far the best motorcar presenter..keep them coming.
After seven years of Porsche sales experience, ive driven ALOT of different cars not just from Porsche but other brands as well. The 993 RS Clubsport was the most thrilling car ive ever driven. I was very lucky that my dealership had one while I was there, I know I will likely never get another go in one in my life and I knew that ahead of time.
He used to own one ages ago. Secondly he is reviewing to create a buzz to sell on collecting cars. All these short films are to draw people in to bid on the car.
@@elliotsimpson1148 Yes that’s part of marketing. If you go back and watch his other videos, he’s extra excited about this car and spec. It’s real not some fake poly to draw attention. That was my point. If it’s that good and brings so much joy/excitement then why let it go for the sake of money?
So happy to see this machine, one I've coveted from boyhood. To listen to this guy, who's thoughts I've especially valued since Autocar. Admittedly with a touch of sadness having reached an age where that dream, perhaps that's all it ever was, has begun to fade. Still, makes me smile and I think I'll dream a little longer.
Grateful to have been able to have the privilege to experience the 993 RS, and will wholeheartedly agree - the 993 RS shifter setup is absolutely perfect. Gated manuals are a tactile treat, but the 993 RS feels like a deliberate, precision operation while at the same time utterly seamless. They do make the 993 RS kit for regular 993’s, and yes, it does make them feel just as good!
I saw one of these in Washington DC many years back, around 2016 or so. The owner was using it to haul his 2 kids to and from baseball practice. Even cooler? It was Riviera Blue. I had no idea how rare it was at the time, but the shape of the wing left an impression on me that hasn't been replicated by any car by any manufacturer since. Such an incredible vehicle.
That's the kind of car for a gearhead. The dream come true, that car that you always wanted and want to DRIVE. I hope is not going to a museum, cars are mean to be driven.
The 993 GT2 has to be one of the most beautiful cars ever made 🤏🏽 Something about a big wing, body lines that flow and the simplicity. Timeless would be the best way to describe these..
I subscribed to the channel that does the best reviews of the ‘good man’ and ‘lads mag’ era of legendary cars from the 90s. Chris is brilliant, and my generation, it’s a total 🏆
The ROCKING 911 in other words! Very limited produced and rare, light, beautifully built, one owner and very low millage, last air-cooled flat 6 and the best manual transmission in business! As Chris mentions it's the real deal and the absolute unicorn of 993s to date! a true classic yet modern street legal race car for Porsche engineers, drivers, fans and dreamers like me 😎🩶 And oh boy, that massive wing and aerodynamics are wonder!
Alan Lewis & I ran an RS/CS in the Porsche 50th Anniversary Rally,in Australia. It was such a perfect tool for the job. First Event was a Night Trial. We came first.No idea how,but we won that...We placed nowhere in any other Road trial or Rally Type Event,on the road,until we got to the last Sprint Race at Calder,and raced on the Thunderdome,in pouring rain,same for every other of the 75 or so Porsche's. Proving the fabulous balance of the 993 RS,we won that event,by a huge 2.5 Second margin,over every other Porsche Variant,including 964 RS's,RSR types,etc. Mind you Chris,it didn't hurt that I'd just done the Nurburgring 24 Hour in the night part of the Race,on Slicks! Monkey, you & I had a drink at the Pistenklause after the event.
Only play….BUY IT AT ALL COSTS!!! The color, the condition and THAT WING!!! What a beautiful, piece of art! One of the most beautiful cars of all time IMO. No way he doesn’t go FULL SEND!! This is what dreams are made of Chris and this unicorn 🦄 is grazing in your front yard! Grab a lasso and your checkbook and complete the circle! This will be a 2M car in less than 10 years assuming the condition and miles don’t get too crazy plus the Chris Harris name is worth at least 20%! We love this car and we LOVE YOU! You are THE guy my guy!!! Cheers mate! ❤️🔥🍻🦄💰
I know it’s not the same thing, but that reminds me of my RS America in Midnight Blue. Simply the perfect set-up, in my opinion (sadly totaled within a year by a red light runner). That steering rack was the best ever. This car is a beauty.
What a fantastic motor car! That thing is going to sell for a pretty penny. I know of another 993 Carrera RS with less than 10k kilometers that is for sale in Spain and they're asking 700.000 euro for it. What a machine, whoever buys it is one lucky sod.
A neighbor had a red 993 RS chassis only, the engine was missing and supposedly the interior had been stripped to make it a hillclimb car (never happened). It was sitting in his yard unprotected because he had given up trying to homologate it (local DMV required to have the same engine the car came from factory with, which was impossible to find). I felt stabbint chest pain every time I would see it when passing by, the most beautiful 911 just rotting away. This example is beyond mint, whoever's gonna buy this will be the luckiest bastard and I'm jealous
Underrated? Nearly every video he's in has a congregation of blokes in the comments absolutely weeping at how amazing he is & how the way he drives a car brings them life completing joy
Hi met Chris 2 decades ago at Silverstone during a Lotus 7 drift training day. He drove his 993 GT2 there, what a car. Wonder if he misses that car, he should buy this one
❤❤😂😢😢😮😅😅😊 you were right about Porsche nerds. Yes I’m a Pioner too and I got a lot of posters a lot of diecast in the line of hot wheels of Porsche and I also have three shirts of Porsche and I got one from car driver from Porsche and I think he still races his Porsche. Keep up the good work Chris.
That is a mod people do Chris! RS shifter and golden rod! I have this amazing shifter in my C2! FD motorsports sells the kit now. It’s one of the first mods a 993 owner installs normally.
Nice. I've a 1996 993 C2 iris blue metallic, 66,000 miles, 6-speed manny tranny, varioram, LSD. No CEL, no oil leaks. Multi-show full-concours winner. I do my own maintenance. I'm never selling it.
For 993 Carrera owners who want to improve the linkage: check out the Golden Rod from FD Motorsports. It is an RS-style linkage and completely changes the feel of the shift.
Had a chance to buy one of these at a steal back in the day. Still kicking myself for not buying it. 😢. Especially considering what I bought instead 😅. Which will not be discussed or disclosed 😂. One of my biggest regrets…ever. The pain is exquisite.
❤😂😂😢😢😮😅😊😊 Chris that Porsche is so damn sweet. I wish I was there in the Porsche with you and you smashed the gas in that wonderful fast Porsche take care and come back to Top Gear. I like it when you were on there take care bro have a good day. Have a good weekend and a good week.
Modern 911's look ridiculously bloated and out of proportion compared to this era. I had the pleasure of been a passenger in a 1993 Turbo back in the day. Utterly amazing and blisteringly fast. Great video Chris! Love it
I struggle with these, we build cars, great resources spent and they spend 30 years not being used... Seem incredibly wasteful... That said, dream automobile right there! Never get tired of Posche's and content around them! Look at STG, a couple of years ago he was not too fuzzed about them, now he's own... 4? 5? of them in just a couple of years... I have never even sat in one, best I could hope for is seeing one parked up somewhere... any Porsche... xD
Yeah, probably a bit of both. We've been sold a bill of goods on both diesels and wagons. I more blame the corporations and media, though. We've been fed the crossover nonsense and lifted the Prius to godlike eco-status and much else that's kept us from estates and a good economical diesels and the like.@@nevillewran4083
Lucky enough to own a 993 turbo ! When they were not gone crazy prices ! Back in the days I paid 6,500£ but of course spent 1000’s over the years ! In my eyes no car compares
When is somebody going to give you a chance behind the wheel of a T.50? You've talked about the car in the past, but would love to see you behind the wheel :)
Lovely presentation Chris, you are driver's driver, dont ever stop... Streaking visions of kinetic blur, eyes darting then fixed ahead, cloud banked alpine straightaway, triple digit upshift, brake, downshift into corner out the curve, accelerate and upshift again. Through jutted cliffs and canyons, around, through and over hills of azure green, this twisting road to follow. Man and machine in glorious unison, engine revs in measured time with the pulse, a syncopated heartbeat trading fours, mechanical jazz, this is dance, these are the rhythms of life. Pushing past know limits of tempted fate, the thrill and lunacy of it all, downhill speeder, barely holding on. So here's to the reckless, pushing on to the ragged edge, fearless we are, in full spectral clarity burning through the night, hell bent speed demons racing the dawn.
Great review and what a car! Would be nice to have a few basic power/torque/weight stats for us non-Porsche nerds who can't be bothered to Google them!
God, I know this is going to sound geek and a lot weird, but how did it smell inside? I remember my dad’s end of1987 g series carrera sport coupe, it had this stunning smell. Leather. He was really fussy about this one car, it was like best china, it had to be looked after without being a garage queen, cleaned without over cleaning. I’ve been in other 911# and never noticed it, but the g series with leather seats, yup, hets me every time.
You can “put that shifter into a 993 Carrera” it’s called and FD Motorsport RS Short Shift kit, with Golden Rod”. I have the conversion and yes it transforms the gear selection. 🥰
I think Chris is giving serious thought to buying it.
I think he was aswell until he saw that the asking price is currently over £310,000 😊
@@ashleyboyer2721stay tuned for the next episode of Collecting Cars in which Chris sells all his cars to buy this 😅
@@Fabulousprofound168He'll have to change the channel name to "Collected 1 Car" 😂
Be crazy not too if you could. I know I’d regret it if I had a shot.

@@cheesepizza87a Fiat Punto?
Why did you sell?????
How did the 996 GT3 feel in comparison?
Living the dream mate. Count yourself lucky you've owned them.
993 is the the all time masterpiece of automotive engineering, calling it an icon will be an understatement
That is so much better looking than the current version. What a GEM
Lots of repairs too
It's also a couple of hundred kilos lighter, isn't it?

Ridiculously casual exit from the Beemer. Video? Please Chris?
@@vipe650r Lack of good taste? Lack of common sense?
Yeah, probably a bit of both. We've been sold a bill of goods on both diesels and wagons. I more blame the corporations and media, though. We've been fed the crossover nonsense and lifted the Prius to godlike eco-status and much else that's kept us from estates and a good economical diesels and the like.@@nevillewran4083
Lucky enough to own a 993 turbo ! When they were not gone crazy prices ! Back in the days I paid 6,500£ but of course spent 1000’s over the years ! In my eyes no car compares
Lucky indeed! Can't believe they ever dropped that low! When was that? I thought I was lucky having bought my '88 3.2 for £11k in 2008.
@@stevegreene9149 it didn't happen - I'll assume he meant £65k
When is somebody going to give you a chance behind the wheel of a T.50? You've talked about the car in the past, but would love to see you behind the wheel :)
Lovely presentation Chris, you are driver's driver, dont ever stop...
Streaking visions of kinetic blur, eyes darting then fixed ahead, cloud banked alpine straightaway, triple digit upshift, brake, downshift into corner out the curve, accelerate and upshift again. Through jutted cliffs and canyons, around, through and over hills of azure green, this twisting road to follow. Man and machine in glorious unison, engine revs in measured time with the pulse, a syncopated heartbeat trading fours, mechanical jazz, this is dance, these are the rhythms of life. Pushing past know limits of tempted fate, the thrill and lunacy of it all, downhill speeder, barely holding on. So here's to the reckless, pushing on to the ragged edge, fearless we are, in full spectral clarity burning through the night, hell bent speed demons racing the dawn.
Great review and what a car! Would be nice to have a few basic power/torque/weight stats for us non-Porsche nerds who can't be bothered to Google them!
Love the colour!
How hard it must have been to let that go as a single owner!
Not really when it's worth 300k +
I would imagine that sadly someone passed away and whoever inherited this car does not want it as much as they want 300k
@@finq0997 Nope, the owner is alive, well and racing.
What a beautiful car
God, I know this is going to sound geek and a lot weird, but how did it smell inside? I remember my dad’s end of1987 g series carrera sport coupe, it had this stunning smell. Leather. He was really fussy about this one car, it was like best china, it had to be looked after without being a garage queen, cleaned without over cleaning. I’ve been in other 911# and never noticed it, but the g series with leather seats, yup, hets me every time.
Absolutely fantastic.
You can “put that shifter into a 993 Carrera” it’s called and FD Motorsport RS Short Shift kit, with Golden Rod”. I have the conversion and yes it transforms the gear selection. 🥰
You know if Chris is getting excited about a car, and a 911 at that, it must be special.
Any 993 is the Porsche to own, the 993 is the icon, they got everything just right.
