The 993 Carrera 2S

Porsche had one more air-cooled Carrera up its sleeve before the end of production: the Carrera 2S, which was introduced in 1997. It married the wider Turbo body with the 2’s rear-wheel-drive chassis and 3.6-litre naturally aspirated engine. Like the 4S, its suspension was lowered, but the standard 17-inch wheels were an inch smaller, and it didn’t get the Turbo-spec brakes. Other than the 2S badge on the rump, the air inlet over the engine is split into two halves, like butterfly wings. It was also offered with both the fourspeed Tiptronic automatic gearbox and the six-speed manual. In total, 3,700 examples of the Carrera 2S were produced.
