1998 Porsche 911 Coupe

This 1998 Porsche 911 Carrera S (VIN WP0AA299XWS321118) is a rare and highly desirable example from the final year of the air-cooled 911 era. With 85,358 miles on the odometer, it presents as a well-driven yet preserved vehicle that embodies the essence of Porsches most celebrated generation. The Carrera S variant of the 993-generation 911 is noted for its wide-body design, shared with the Turbo, but offered without forced induction. One of its most distinctive visual features is the split rear grille, a unique dual-section engine cover that enhances both cooling and aesthetics while nodding to earlier Porsche design elements. The 1998 model year marked the end of the air-cooled lineage, making this car especially significant to collectors and enthusiasts. Power comes from a 3.6-liter naturally aspirated flat-six engine (M64) producing approximately 282 horsepower, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission. This drivetrain delivers classic Porsche performance with a level of mechanical engagement that has become increasingly rare in modern sports cars. The 993 also benefited from Porsches advanced multi-link rear suspension, improving handling and ride quality over its predecessors while preserving the trademark 911 driving feel. The Carrera S came well-equipped from the factory, typically featuring premium touches like 18-inch Technology Hollow Spoke wheels, xenon headlights with washers, integrated fog lights, and dual exhaust outlets. The wide stance, lowered suspension, and clean rear deck without the Turbos wing give it a muscular yet understated presence. Porsche produced relatively few Carrera S models for North America in 1998, and examples with the original split-grill configuration are especially sought after. This particular cars mileage suggests regular use, and while not in the ultra-low-mileage category, a properly maintained 993 with this mileage remains highly valuable. The VIN confirms its model year and alignment with kn
