Over the outgoing 3. 2 Carrera, the ultra-modern 964 offered new coil springs and shock absorbers substantially improving the handling and the way the car put power down to the ground, aerodynamics were enhanced too using knowledge gained from the Le Mans winning 959 and 962 reducing the cars drag coefficient to just 0. 32, and with virtually zero lift stability and road holding at high speeds the 964 was a vast improvement.
The 964 now featured an electronically retractable spoiler aiding in engine cooling, power assisted steering was added for the first time in a 911 and the capacity of the famous and soon to be replaced air-cooled flat six increased from 3. 2 to 3. 6 litres becoming the most powerful normally aspirated 911 production engine ever with 250hp.
The Type 964 Carrera 4 was the first production car in the world to offer an intelligent permanent all-wheel-drive system that when driven under the most extreme conditions could bias 69% of all available power to the rear whilst the remaining 31% would shift to the front.
Australian delivered through Porsche, Perth in February of 1993 and 1 of just 15 cars to arrive on our shores for that year this 911 Type 964 Carrera 4 formed part of Porsche’s “New Generation” 911 line-up that offered an all new alarm system and a new selection of what Porsche called “Shocking” colours.
Ordered in the brilliant and refreshing colour combination of Coral Red Metallic over Classic Grey leather trim this meticulously maintained 964 Carrera 4 was optioned with manual transmission, rear wiper, electronic driver’s seat adjustment, cruise control, air conditioning and sunroof.
Accompanying the car are all of the original leather-bound books showing a comprehensive Porsche and specialist service history, the last service completed in July 2018. There is also an extensive receipt file, both keys, the original tool kit, spare space-saver wheel and compressor.
A time machine in every sense of the phrase, this original, rare and Australian delivered 964 Carrera 4 is a true driver’s car.
