About the Porsche 911 964
The 964 generation represented a major leap for the 911, with Porsche claiming 85% of the components were new compared to the outgoing Carrera 3.2. It introduced modern essentials like coil-spring suspension, ABS, and power steering while retaining the iconic air-cooled flat-six and upright silhouette. The Carrera 2 is the purist's choice of the range, offering a lighter, more communicative rear-wheel-drive experience than the heavier Carrera 4. Its 3.6-litre M64 engine provides a broad spread of torque, making it a highly capable and charismatic daily-drivable classic.
