This Is Disappointing To Find Out
Here's Exactly Why The Brand New 2018 Porsche 993 Turbo Isn't Road Legal
Philipp Salm, who heads up sales and marketing at Porsche Classic, explained that it’s a two pronged-problem.
This is not a 1990s car, as the 993 Turbo was when it originally came out. This is a 2018 model year vehicle. It was built by Porsche out of an old, never-used body-in-white. That is, the body shell, the frame, was hanging out somewhere and a couple years ago Porsche hauled it out and built a new 993 out of it.
As a 2018, it would have to follow 2018 regulations, Salm pointed out, for both emissions and noise. The noise regs, new in Europe, particularly would catch up this car, and you’d never be able to pass them with “an air-cooled engine with specs from the 1990s,” as Salm told me.
