1990s

1990: The new 911Turbo enters the market in September with a 3299 cc power unit and a slight increase in power (320 bhp/235 kW).

1991: The Porsche 968based in its design on the 928 replaces the 944. Output of the three-liter power unit is boosted to 240 bhp/176 kW. The 8-cylinder power unit of the Porsche 928 now featured in the GTS increases in both size and output (5397cc, 350 bhp/257 kW), just as the 911 Carrera RS competition model also offers a slight boost in power (260 bhp/191 kW).

1992: The Porsche 911Turbo comes with an even larger engine displacing 3600 cc and developing360 bhp/265 kW. The 968 is introduced in two-seater Clubsport trim with leaned-down equipment and a lower price.

1993: Towards the middle of the year Porsche presents the thoroughly modified 911 code-named the 993 within the Company and featuring an even more streamlined body, the new multi-link rear axle and a choice of either six-speed manual gearbox or four-speed Tiptronic. Engine capacity remains unchanged, output increase seven further (3600 cc, 272 bhp/200 kW). The new 993 is built initially as the Carrera coupe with rear-wheel drive.

1994: The new Carrera4 enters production featuring a new drive concept with power transmitted to the wheels via a viscous coupling. As the "basic model" for racing Porsche builds the 911 Carrera RS with an extra-light body, a larger, fixed-position rear spoiler and a more powerful engine (3746 cc, 300bhp/221 kW). In spring 1994 Porsche begins production of the 993 Cabriolet.

1995: The new 911Turbo displaces 3600 cc and develops maximum output of 408 bhp/300 kW. It also features the four-wheel-drive concept of the Carrera 4. The even more dynamic GT2 version of the Turbo, in turn, comes exclusively with rear-wheel drive and offers even more power (430 bhp/316 kW). In September the 911 Carrera also receives extra power (285 bhp/210 kW), and at the same time a new Porsche Targa with a sliding glass roof enters production.

1996: Public launch of the Boxster at the 1996 Paris Motor Show. A mid-engine roadster, the Boxster reveals Porsche's new generation of power units with very convincing facts and figures (2480 cc, 204 bhp/150 kW). Six water-cooled cylinders in horizontally opposed arrangement, four overhead camshafts with VarioCam, four valves per cylinder and integrated dry sump lubrication are the technical highlights.

1997: Porsche presents an all-new 911 with slightly larger body dimensions but still in the same classic style as its predecessor - plus further improved suspension and a more powerful version of the new water-cooled boxer engine(3387 cc, 300 bhp/221 kW). The Porsche Carrera 4S, Targa and Porsche 911Turbo remain in production unchanged until March 1998.

1998: The 911 Cabriolet based on the new model is presented to the public in March, its roof opening and closing electro hydraulically at the touch of a button. An aluminum hardtop comes as standard, as do the sidebags on both doors.
