Jul 13, 2018 · 13 July 2018. Few people can lay claim to having driven a Porsche 911 at over 100mph at the age of nine but Paul Stephens can. By that age, Stephens was already experienced behind the wheel – he learned to drive in a Land Rover on his family’s farm when he was just six years old and, perhaps inevitably, had his first accident the following ...

Again, no, it’s not that peaky and angry. But it could be. It’s worth pointing out that this is not a what-you-see-is-what-you-get car. Buy one and you can tweak it to your specifications. This one has relatively benign camshaft profiles, trading a little top-end scream for better manners low down. I love it as it is, tractable yet pulling super he...
It’s wonderful as it is. If it helps give context, look at what’s been done to the 3.6-litre motor. It’s longer stroked (3.8 litres) thanks to new internals, including lightened steel conrods and pistons from the 993 RSR race car. That’s also donated its throttle bodies, while the crankshaft and bearings are from the 997 GT3, the oil pump from the ...
Not as cohesive or pretty as a Singer is it? I told you each firm has their specialities. The new front bumper is a bit simple in its shaping, the rear wing rather square-edged – it’s not a beautiful car, but it feels faithful, engineering ahead of design. But the stance… the 993R sits low over the 996 GT3 RS-sourced wheels, comes across as mean an...
The car is slim. It fits down roads easily. Left hand drive and yet not once did I find myself constantly clattering cats eyes. So you have more space to play with and a car that wants you to play. Turn in is crisp, there’s real bite to it through the gorgeous natural steering, the gearchange is fluent and tight with no flex in the lever, the brake...
If you insist, Stephens can do you a de-catalysed car with lumpier cams and 360bhp. There’s also a 4.0-litre option. But this 3.8 at 270bhp/tonne (only a little less than the current BMW M3 Competition) is such a sweet spot I’m not sure you need more.
Yeah, it is. £400,000 plus the donor car. Reckon on £65,000 for a clean, original 993 C2. And that’s a good car. A great car in fact. You’d have a hoot living with a regular 993. But you’d also notice how it felt old, a bit baggy, didn’t behave how you expected. This exists to correct that. It shows what’s possible. But yeah, a huge amount of cash....
A lot more sophisticated to drive than a restored 964. A sweet spot for power and chassis balance. Driving that gets under your skin.
Aug 4, 2022 · Porsche specialist Paul Stephens unveiled images and specs for his new production-ready 993R. No nut or bolt was left untouched, and no panel was ignored in the five-year project based on a customer’s request. Autoart 993R “Take a 993 and make a 25 per cent improvement in every area” was the brief from Paul Stephens’ latest Autoart ...
