The Porsche 964, also known as the 911/964, is a significant chapter in the legendary Porsche 911's history, marking the transition from the classic air-cooled engine to a more modern, water-cooled era. Introduced in 1989, the 964 represented a major redesign of the 911 platform, offering a blend of classic styling with advanced engineering improvements. This generation was the first to feature a significantly wider body, with a 67 mm increase in track width, contributing to improved handling and stability. The 964 also introduced a new, 3.6-liter air-cooled flat-six engine, producing an impressive 247 horsepower in standard form. The engine was paired with a redesigned five-speed manual transmission or a four-speed automatic. The 964 also featured a number of technological advancements, including a new independent rear suspension system, a more sophisticated anti-lock braking system (ABS), and a more refined interior with improved ergonomics.
Beyond the standard 911 Carrera model, the 964 series also offered several exciting variants. The Carrera 2, introduced in 1991, featured a wider body and a more powerful engine, pushing the power output to 257 horsepower. The iconic Carrera RS was also reborn with the 964 platform, boasting a lightweight construction, increased power, and a stripped-down interior, further emphasizing the car's sporting intentions. The 964 generation also saw the introduction of the Turbo model, boasting a 3.6-liter, twin-turbocharged engine generating an impressive 355 horsepower. The 964 marked a pivotal moment for the Porsche 911, seamlessly bridging the gap between the classic air-cooled era and the modern water-cooled era. Its blend of classic styling, advanced engineering, and impressive performance made it a desirable and sought-after car, contributing to the enduring legacy of the 911.
