Porsche 993 Backdate — The Last Air-Cooled Icon, Reimagined
Why the 993 Matters
The Porsche 993 represents the final chapter of the air-cooled 911 era, produced between 1994 and 1998. Its sculpted bodywork, advanced multi-link suspension, and smoother refinement make it a favourite among collectors and enthusiasts alike. But when reimagined as a 993 backdate, this final classic becomes the ultimate fusion of heritage and modern precision.
At Shoreline 911, our 993 backdate builds honour the car’s historic DNA while unlocking new possibilities through bespoke craftsmanship and performance upgrades.
From Refinement to Raw Emotion
While the 993 left the factory as the most advanced 911 of its era, a backdate strips away the nineties bulk and returns it to the purity of seventies design. Through hand-fabricated panels, sculpted arches, and weight-reduction techniques, the car’s silhouette transforms into a tribute to icons like the 911 RSR, ST, and Carrera RS.
Each build reflects its owner — a Porsche 911 classic reinterpreted for the present.
The Exterior — Timeless Form, Tailored Details
Our craftsmen shape the 993 backdate body to embody retro proportions while retaining the 993’s underlying sophistication. Choices like a 911 ducktail spoiler, period-correct wheels, and minimalist bumpers create a look both instantly familiar and entirely unique. Paint is hand-applied in rich, multi-layered finishes, from heritage hues like Slate Grey to bespoke shades created exclusively for you.
Inside — Heritage Meets Modern Luxury
Within the cabin, the 993 becomes a canvas for bespoke Porsche builds. Houndstooth inserts, retro dials, and wood accents capture the spirit of the early 911s, while discreet modern enhancements — Porsche PCCM navigation, upgraded sound insulation, and climate control — deliver everyday usability.
Every detail is designed around you, whether your dream is a minimalist lightweight driver’s car or a grand touring Porsche.
Performance — The 993 Advantage
The 993 backdate benefits from Porsche’s most advanced air-cooled chassis. Its multi-link rear suspension ensures planted handling, while rebuilt and tuned flat-six engines provide thrilling performance. Whether naturally aspirated for purity or turbocharged in homage to the 930 Turbo, each build is engineered for balance, agility, and endurance.
Paired with upgraded brakes, modern suspension geometry, and lightweight construction, the result is a car that feels both classic and contemporary — the last of the air-cooled icons, perfected for today.
