Overview
Introduction
The 1998 Porsche 911 C2S "Arsham" is a unique, bespoke vehicle created by New York artist Daniel Arsham. This "Arsham-spec" 911 represents the best of the air-cooled Porsches with its own brand of artistic innovation. The final year of the air-cooled Porsche 911, the 993 generation is the most refined platform ever made.
Design and Features
The 993 was completely disassembled in Arsham's private garage and reimagined with a high-powered, aesthetically redesigned vision. It features a bespoke dark green leather interior, color-matched hardback sport seats, and bespoke Vanilla Yellow paint believed to have been painted on just one factory 993 Turbo S. The engine has been upgraded to 3.8L with Carillo connecting rods, CNC-machined cylinder heads, and other mechanical upgrades.
The vehicle also features a 6-speed manual transmission, rear wheel drive, and full body paint protection film. The braking and exhaust systems have been fully restored to factory standards, ensuring refined performance to match its aesthetic presentation.
Artist and Provenance
Daniel Arsham is a renowned artist known for his work at the intersection of art, architecture, and performance. His commentary on various subjects has extended over two decades, with his signature concept, "Fictional Archaeology," reimagining iconic objects as geological relics from a distant future.
Arsham is an automotive enthusiast, and his work often features cars, including his famous "Eroded Cars" series. The 993A is a sophisticated fusion of heritage engineering and contemporary artistic innovation, debuted at The Bridge in September 2024.
Condition and Availability
Upon arriving at Canepa, the car underwent the "Canepa Difference" process, which included a meticulous inspection, comprehensive test drive, and detailing inside and out. The result is a clean bill of health and an excellent example of the 993 ready to be enjoyed.
Now, for the first time since completion, Daniel Arsham's personal "993A" art is ready to be used, viewed, and enjoyed by an owner looking for the duality of a drivable piece of art.
