Description
With the 964 generation, Porsche is making automotive history
Just in time for the 25th anniversary of the 911’s debut, the 911 Carrera 4 hit the market in the fall of 1988. After the so-called G-model had been in production for over 16 years, the 964 model series was 85 percent redesigned. The 911 Carrera 4 catapulted the concept of the rear-mounted air-cooled boxer engine—which had already been written off—into the present with state-of-the-art technology. As the first production sports car with all-wheel drive, the Carrera 4 was even far ahead of its time.
In February 1991, Porsche announced a minor sensation to the press: the 964 RS
The second edition of the legendary 1973 Carrera RS was announced for the summer of 1991. The new RS was based on the 964-generation 911 Carrera 2 used in the Carrera Cup. Even the small press photo of the 964 RS made it clear just how attractive the 964 looked with its larger, wider 17-inch wheels in Cup design, the lowered sports suspension, and the aerodynamically optimized exterior mirrors.
To this day, the 964 remains one of the most popular air-cooled Porsches ever made, as it combines the classic 911 silhouette with sophisticated technology, safe handling, and a powerful engine sound. The 964 is a modern classic and, thanks to its compact dimensions, light weight, and high driving dynamics, offers an unparalleled and utterly captivating driving experience.
On the 25th anniversary of the 964 RS, the time has come to pay tribute to this fascinating model series, giving the developers a chance to share their insights.
In addition to detailed buying advice and price trends from recent years, 964 THE BOOK also takes an in-depth look at all the special models, some of which are even unknown to experts.
