Highlights

The Modernized Classic 911

Introduced for the 1989 model year, the 964 represented a major technical evolution of the Porsche 911. Although its exterior retained the familiar proportions of earlier generations, Porsche extensively redesigned the car beneath the surface, introducing significantly more modern chassis, drivetrain, aerodynamic, and comfort technology.

3.6-Litre Air-Cooled Flat-Six

At the heart of the 964 Carrera is Porsche’s 3.6-litre M64 air-cooled flat-six, producing approximately 250 PS. The larger-displacement engine combined the traditional character of an air-cooled Porsche with considerably stronger performance and improved everyday usability.

Carrera 4 All-Wheel Drive

The original 964 debuted as the Carrera 4, introducing all-wheel drive to the production 911 Carrera range. Its sophisticated drivetrain drew on technology developed through Porsche’s experience with the 959 and gave the new generation improved traction and stability.

Evolutionary Design

The 964 preserved the iconic round headlights, compact cabin, sloping bonnet, and flowing roofline of the classic 911 while introducing smoother integrated bumpers and improved aerodynamics. A distinctive automatically extending rear spoiler provided additional stability while remaining hidden at lower speeds.
