    Last build date for 993 turbo?

    Does anyone on Rennteam know when the last 993 turbo was built (the one Seinfeld bought)? As a bonus question - how many were built in 1998 in total? Thanks in advance.

    I think the last 993 which Seinfeld bougt was a 993 S in riviera blue not a turbo. I have seen it 1998 in Pebble Beach next to his 1964 911. The licence plates were "First" and "Last"

    The way Jerry Seinfeld buys Porsches, this does not exclude the possibility that he also bought the last 993 turbo.

    Of course, he would then have to secure the vanity plate "LASTT".

    Ah, but could "GT Purely Porsche" answer the bonus question?

    For the NA market, I believe 200 993TTS's were built from 1997-1998.

    GT Purely Porsche - great mag

    Re: Last build date for 993 turbo?

    To my recollection I think Seinfeld bought the last Turbo but I might be wrong (as Blueflame wrote he bought an 993 S).

    I got the issue of GT purely porsche where they drive the 993 Turbo (which they love) and the Turbo S (which they think is compromised on far from perfect british roads) but last night didn't got the time to reread the full articles - the production number might be there (just browsed through the fact sheets at the end). Paul Freres book about the 911 doesn't cover 1998 so no help there either, he goes straight from 1997 to the production start of the 996.
