Description
Known internally as the 964, Porsche's new generation 911 debuted in 1989 and was available in two (Carrera 2) and four-wheel drive (Carrera 4) guises with its familiar silhouette clothing a radically revamped platform. Boasting a drag coefficient of just 0. 32 thanks to its deeper bumpers, smoother sills and flatter floorpan, high-speed stability was maintained by a self-deploying rear spoiler which rose above 48mph. Powered by an extensively reworked 3. 6 litre air-cooled flat-six equipped with twin spark plugs per cylinder and a re-mapped Bosch Motronic fuel injection, the 964 claimed an impressive 250bhp and 229lbft of torque. Fitted with a five-speed manual gearbox as standard, most variants were reputed to be capable of 0-60mph in 5. 3 seconds with a top speed of over 160mph. The 964 was the last air-cooled 911 produced by the Stuttgart firm and, in so doing, represented the end of an era. The Carrera 4 representing the most user-friendly and driveable of the Carrera family.
This example is presented in slate grey with a grey interior and is the desirable Carrera 4 model, which is presented in manual left hand drive. The bodywork is showing some signs of age in various areas and the interior is well. The 964 has more recently been treated to extensive mechanical work to the tune of circa 33000€ Offered with various invoices, Belgian registration, this is surely excellent value given the recent expenditure.
