Standard equipment in the 911 for 1992 and 1993 includes the 3.6 liter engine by Porsche, weighing in at 6 cylinders and twelve valves. A 5-speed Standard Transaxle puts the power of the engine to the pavement. This is a long-standing favorite for buyers in the Targa arena.

Steering control is handled through a power-steering rack-style configuration. The 911 comes equipped with power-assisted brakes, with 4-Wheel ABS support. The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are disc. The car uses coil front springs and coil in the rear.

Vehicle Statistics

The 911 is 168.30 inches long, 65.00 inches wide, and 51.60 inches high. It has a wheelbase of 89.40 inches. It is able to seat 4 comfortably.

The standard warranty period for the 911 is 60* months, or 50,000* miles, whichever comes first. There is also a warranty on the powertrain for 36* months or 50,000* miles respectively. This is standard in the targa market.

The listed retail price in 1993 (MSRP) was $64,990, with a dealer invoice cost of an industry-low price. This price is on target the industry average price for a two-door Targa.

Fuel Efficiency

The fuel system for the 1993 911 is a Bosch Motronic design, using gasoline fuel. The fuel flow is controlled by a electronic system and is a fuel-injected MFI design. The fuel capacity of the fuel tank is 20.30 gallons.

The 1993 911 gets 23 - 25 miles/gallon on the highway and only 16 - 17 in the city. This is subpar for a targa car.

We Think...

There are several reasons why the Porsche 911 Carrera 2 sold well in 1993. Mainly the increase in availability and a marked improvement in quality meant the buying public was more apt to choose a Porsche, specifically a 911.
