In late 1989, the iconic Porsche 911 underwent a major evolution with the introduction of the 964 generation. With technologies from the 959 flagship model, this would be an important car for Porsche, since the world economy was undergoing recession and the company could not rely on its image alone.

It was launched as the Carrera 4, the “4” indicating four-wheel-drive, demonstrating the company’s commitment to engineering. Drag coefficient was down to 0.32. A rear spoiler deployed at high speed, preserving the purity of design when the vehicle was at rest. The chassis was redesigned overall. Coil springs, ABS brakes and power steering made their debut. The engine was increased in size to 3600 cc. 

The 964 is a modern-day classic. It still has the iconic 911 shape but comes with a host of creature comforts such as air-conditioning, central locking and power steering. 

This specific car is a 1990 Carrera Targa in left-hand drive with a 5-speed manual gearbox. The car is finished in white with black leather interior. It has just shy of 180 000km on the clock.
