Porsche 911 Carrera 2 (964)
Porsche made a long overdue update to the 911 product in 1989, codenamed 964. The 964 retained the external bodywork appearance of the previous 911 series, despite the car being 85% new.
Stylistically, the 964 had integrated aerodynamic bumpers, front and rear.
Mechanically the 964 received a new 3.6L 6-cylinder boxer motor, of the familiar air-cooled layout. This new engine produced 184 kW (250 PS) and 310 Nm (228 lb.ft) in the standard guise.
A new all-wheel-drive system became available for the first time in the 911 product. These were termed 'Carrera 4', while the traditional rear-wheel-drive layout models were termed 'Carrera 2'.
Three body types were available, the coupe (shown), targa-top and a full convertible.
Numerous go-fast versions of the car were produced, including Turbo models, through the 4-year production run, before being superseded by the type-993.
