The 993 generation, built from 1994 to 1998, was the last 911 model to feature an air-cooled engine design. The 993 also introduced significant technical advancements, including a new aluminum chassis and revised rear suspension system. The Porsche 911 (993) GT2 EVO was created as an ultra-light version of the 911 Turbo, specifically designed for racing.
