1997 Porsche 993 C2S
If you are looking for a very unique and very well cared for wide body 993, here is your car…
In 1997 Porsche created what many feel like is the “ultimate” normally aspirated 993. They created the C2S, which takes the beauty of a normally aspirated 993 but couples it with the Twin-Turbo wide bodywork. Previously if you wanted a Wide-body (WB) 993 you had to have all wheel drive (C4S or Turbo). For us purists a Porsche should be rear wheel drive, so… they C2S was born. I guess us purists drive demand because demand is very high for these cars. Porsche sold just 759 of these cars in 1997 and 993 of them in 1998, or 1752 in total here in the US. Making them a rare find!
This particular car was special ordered new at Champion Porsche in Pompano Beach, FL and was sold new July 10th 1997. Here is how the car was ordered:
- Ocean Jade Metallic Exterior (L25K)

One of the best things about this car is that the previous owner was obsessive about everything being just so… Wanting it perfect meant that he sought out one of the best-known 993 Guru’s, Tony Callas. The car was dropped off with an open checkbook and the following items were done at 53,158 miles:

The tires have just over 1,000 miles on them and are the correct Porsche N-Spec Bridgestone Potenza S-02A.
The car has a clean and clear history from new and comes with a complete service history from 24k miles to current and a fully stamped maintenance book. It has the correct tool kit and jack but the air compressor is a later Porsche 996 style pump. All books are present and two keys.
This is an absolutely stunning car; it has to be seen in person to really be appreciated!
