Turbo Florio 1:
1996 911 Turbo (993)
The first Turbo Florio build. The car I had dreamed about since I was a teen was initiated in 1995 and delivered in February 1996.
The 993, the last of the air-cooled 911 Turbos, incorporates many technological advancements from the 959 into an everyday 911 Turbo. Sophisticated yet analog to its soul.
This car served as my daily driver for three decades, with 182,000 miles and counting. As my first Porsche, this car will always have a special place in my garage.
Celebrating 30 years of ownership with a refresh in progress that includes:
- Repaint, PPF, Ceramic Coating
- Euro bumpers with bumperette delete
- Turbo S fog lights
- Full interior refresh with all of the leather options
- Deviated stitching
- Sport back seats
- 18" Speedline RS/GT2 Wheels for Turbo body
All the options I wished I had ordered for it back in 1995.
The name "Smells Like Teen Spirit" was inspired by the fact that this was my dream car as a teenager, there nothing like the smell of an air-cooled motor, and the turbos kick in like Dave Grohl's drums at the beginning of the song.
