Porsche 993 Turbo & Turbo S price trends

• A relatively stable starting point of roughly €71,000 (2011)
• A moderate rise to roughly €89,000 by 2013
• Annual appreciation of around 12 per cent

• A short stable period at roughly €89,000 to €92,000
• Barely any movement in prices
• The collector market gathering strength for the jump to come

• A dramatic rise from €92,000 (2014) via €136,000 (2015) to roughly €161,000 (2016)
• A gain of 48 per cent in 2015 alone, and 75 per cent over two years
• One of the strongest price rises in the model’s history

• Settling at the high level of roughly €161,000
• Moving sideways at the new peak
• The market testing whether the new level would hold

• A gradual correction to roughly €137,000 by 2020, with an interim recovery in 2019 (roughly €149,000)
• A total fall of around 15 per cent over three years
• A typical shake-out after a strong period of appreciation

• A stable period at roughly €137,000 to €142,000
• No further significant losses despite the global COVID-19 pandemic
• A sign of how resilient the 993 Turbo market fundamentally is

• Another strong rise, from €142,000 to roughly €175,000
• A gain of 23 per cent within a single year
• A new all-time high is reached

• A decline via €163,000 (2024) to roughly €155,000 (2025)
• A moderate correction of around 11 per cent over two years
• A pattern much like the one after the 2016/2017 peak

• Median of documented sales for the base Turbo: €219,993 (84 sales)
• WLS 1: €249,900 (13 sales), WLS 2: €339,900 (13 sales)
• The gap to the 2025 average (€155,000) comes from both the change of method and the market itself; see the reality check below

• A clean hierarchy by power: base Turbo €219,993, WLS 1 (430 PS) €249,900, WLS 2 (450 PS) €339,900; the WLS 1 premium is roughly €30,000 and the WLS 2 premium roughly €120,000 over the base model
• The WLS 2 is the collectors’ cell of the archive: the lowest median mileage (65,221 km) and, at €339,900, roughly 1.5 times the base Turbo median
• The market is liquid and fast: 84 base Turbo sales at a median of just 12 days on the market, and the upgraded cars sell within 21 to 29 days
• Effectively undriven collector cars fetch outlier prices: a base Turbo with 500 km was recorded at €1,500,000 and a WLS 2 with 500 km at €950,000; the medians are unaffected
• Read the Turbo S cell with caution: 5 sales (median €399,993), 4 of them carrying a WLS 2 designation in the listing; the only sale unambiguously advertised as a Turbo S made €650,000
• Transmission is no distinguishing feature on the 993 Turbo: every documented sale is a six-speed manual, and the occasional differing transmission flag in the archive is recording noise

993 Turbo WLS 2: The weighted average stood at €220,600 in 2025, the June 2026 median sale price at €339,900 (13 sales). The substantial increase to 450 PS, the same as the Turbo S, justifies the premium and promises above-average potential in future too.

993 Turbo WLS 1: With its increase to 430 PS the WLS 1 also offers interesting potential. The June 2026 sales data confirms where it was expected to sit: at a €249,900 median sale price (13 sales) it falls between the base model and the WLS 2.

The weighted average stood at €155,000 in 2025; the median of documented sales reached €219,993 in June 2026 (84 sales), roughly twice the list price when new. The standard Turbo therefore remains a solid investment with the most liquid market of any variant, though the cyclical path of prices and the volatility of the market still need to be borne in mind.

• Its standing as the last air-cooled Turbo will remain a major driver of value
• Growing electrification of the car market could further raise interest in authentic combustion engines
• Limited numbers combined with robust engineering keep supply and demand in a stable balance
• The correction of 2023-2025 offered chances to buy; the June 2026 median sale prices show that well-documented cars are already trading markedly higher again

• The cyclical nature of the market could bring further temporary falls
• Environmental rules could limit how usable the car is in future
• Rising servicing and insurance costs can push up the total cost of ownership
• Economic uncertainty could weigh temporarily on the market for luxury goods

• Mind the timing: the correction of 2023-2025 offered chances to buy; the June 2026 median sale prices are already markedly higher again, which makes patience and choosing the right car all the more important
• Favour the factory power upgrades: the WLS cars show above-average potential and a widening gap to the base model
• Allow for the cycles: a horizon of at least 5-10 years is advisable, so as to ride them out
• Put originality and documentation first: the premium on faultless, documented cars is likely to keep rising

• Check that it is affordable: besides the purchase price, budget €4,000-7,500 a year for servicing and insurance; details in the buyer’s guide
• Line up expert support: access to specialist workshops is decisive for holding value over the long term
• Plan to use it regularly: the 993 Turbo benefits from regular but measured use, which avoids the mechanical problems that come from standing still
• Build the documentation: an unbroken record of all servicing and repairs raises long-term value considerably
