The 993 generation made huge strides in the chassis department over the 964. After criticism from within that the 964 was too harsh and its handling too antiquated, Porsche ditched its semi-trailing arms in favour of a ‘lightweight, stable and agile’ multi-link suspension at the rear, which was an evolution of the ‘Weissach axle’ first developed back in 1977 for the 928. This made the 993 much more comfortable and reduced its predecessor’s tendency to lift off oversteer. A multi-link setup is still used on the back axle of a 911 today.
