History
The Porsche 911 3.2-liter Carrera was built from 1984-1989. At the end of production from 1987 to 1989, the clutch was upgraded from mechanical to hydraulic operation and a new improved 915 was now called the G50 transmission with improved synchromesh. During this time the power output also saw an increase of power in 1987, going to 217 horsepower @ 5,900 rpm, 195 foot-pounds torque @ 4,800 rpm, 0-60 in 6.0 seconds, and a top speed of 150 mph!
Porsche built the “Carrera” 3.2-liter version of the 911 from 1984 through 1989. The 911 offered is a 1988. The last of the 911 with a true connection to the car Porsche introduced in 1963. It retains many of the original features of the 911 introduced in 1963 but refined to work well into the future. These were the most refined, well-tuned, and drivable of the original 911 series cars and had proper ventilation as well as modern features to make it a great grand touring car.
