Highlights

After production of the four-cylinder 968 model line and the eight-cylinder 928 model line ends at the close of model year 1995, Porsche offers further intriguing variants of the classic sports car in the form of the 911 Carrera 4S (993) and 911 Targa (993), unveiled in September 1995. An electric glass roof that slides under the rear window is one of the innovative novelties of the Targa, re-appearing after a few years.

And there is even an extremely sporting Carrera RS joining the range once again.

On July 15, the millionth. Porsche vehicle rolls off the assembly line at Zuffenhausen. The anniversary car – a Porsche 911 Carrera – is delivered to the Baden-Württemberg motorway police.

The 911 GT1 enters the racing scene, scoring three wins in three races. Since a road-going version is required for homologation in motorsport, Porsche builds a small series with a 3.2-litre turbocharged engine developing 544 bhp. Top speed is 310 km/h or 192 mph.
