The air-cooled Porsche 911 Turbo remains one of the all-time
great sports cars two decades after the last one rolled out of
the company’s plant in Stuttgart, Germany. The 993, the final
generation of the 911 to use air-cooled engines, remains one of
the most sought-after Porsches in the world. With two-decade-old
911 Turbos fetching upwards of $200,000. 

Now, Porsche is bringing back its old warhorse for one more
tour of duty to celebrate the sports car maker’s 70th
anniversary. 

Porsche Classic, the division within the brand that handles
out-of-production models, decided to build a single brand new 993
911 Turbo dubbed Project Gold for its Golden Yellow Metallic
paint scheme.

The Project Gold 911 was assembled and tuned over a period of a
year-and-a-half by specialists at the Porsche Classics workshop
near the company’s headquarters in Stuttgart. The Turbo’s manual
transmission and all-wheel-drive system are both sourced from
Porsche Classic’s part bin while the chassis number follows that
of the last street-legal 993 Turbo produced in 1998. 

Even though the Project Gold 911 is classified by Porsche as a
993 Turbo, it is powered by a 3.6 liter, 450 horsepower
twin-turbocharged, flat-six cylinder engine from the 993 Turbo
S. 

Porsche

Sadly for Porsche aficionados, there will only be one Project
Gold 993 Turbo produced. However, it will be up for grabs on
October 27 when it hits the auction block in Atlanta through RM
Sotheby’s.

Proceeds from the sale will go to the Ferry Porsche Foundation
which is a new charity dedicated to education, social issues, and
youth development. 

So in other words, buy this Porsche and help make the world a
better place.
