  The last of the air-cooled 911s, with the biggest factory engine

  the Ultimate 993.

  The odyssey of this stunning and unique Carrera 4S is a rich one,

  beginning on July 29, 1997, with an opening chapter that raises as

  many questions as it answers.

  Initial registration documents intriguingly name Porsche itself as

  the owner. 10 years later, in 2007, following a record of service

  stamps (included in the original warranty booklet) spanning across

  Germany and France, the vehicle found itself in the hands of Rainer

  Henkel. Henkel, known beyond his Olympic success in the pool for

  his foray into racing within the amateur circuits of the Porsche

  Cup, assumed stewardship of the car without significant fanfare in

  motorsports but with an evident affinity for the essence of

  Porsche.

  The baton was then passed to J�rgen Spitzer in 2009 and Gerd

  B�hler, who took the reins in 2014. His chapter added to the car's

  mystique, residing in the windswept beauty of Sylt-an island as

  unique as the car's own story. The stamps and records serve as a

  testament to its well-documented and well-traveled existence on

  that side of the pond until its arrival in the United States.

  Since 2021, this distinguished vehicle has benefitted from an

  investment of nearly $25,000 in meticulous maintenance and service.

  Documentation confirms that the servicing was expertly handled by

  Kn�pfing Motorsport in Estenfeld, Germany, the Porsche dealership

  in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany before coming to the US.

  The 993 series C2S, C4S, and Turbo are often called the ultimate

  Porsches. The C4S stands apart from its brethren with its

  distinctive wide-body stance, inherited from the legendary 993

  Turbo. This form isn't merely aesthetic; it contributes to the

  car's exceptional grip and handling prowess, making it a true

  driver's machine.

  The C4S's intelligent all-wheel-drive system delivers unwavering

  traction, whether carving through mountain passes or navigating

  rain-soaked city streets. It expands the 911's usability without

  sacrificing the visceral thrills the model is known for.

  Under the iconic rear decklid lies a naturally aspirated 3.8L

  flat-six engine, a rare factory option providing an exciting power

  bump. Its distinctive sound and linear power delivery are both

  intoxicating and engaging, a fitting end to the era of the

  air-cooled 911 legacy. Whether you're a seasoned Porsche enthusiast

  or seeking an entry into the legendary 911 experience, this car

  promises to ignite a passion for driving that few modern vehicles

  can replicate.

  The Porsche 993 is a testament to the brand's dedication to

  engineering excellence and performance-driven design. Its

  combination of advanced features, unmatched driving dynamics, and

  timeless aesthetics makes it a highly sought-after gem among

  automotive enthusiasts and collectors alike.

  Upon arriving at Canepa, vehicles are treated to the "Canepa

  Difference" This includes a complete mechanical inspection.

  Everything is serviced as needed and road-tested by Bruce Canepa.

  It is finished off with a Concours quality detail. The undersides

  and wheel wells are hand-cleaned, ensuring that each surface is

  spotless. The trunk, interior, and engine bay are also cleaned,

  ensuring the vehicle is presented as though it had just rolled out

  of the factory. With the remaining step being the exterior, the

  finish is polished and waxed to an "as new" finish.
