Let's start with the centerpiece - the engine.
At the rear was the eponymous 3.2-liter six-cylinder boxer engine - an air-cooled masterpiece. With 231 hp (in Europe), it delivered more power than ever before in the production 911. In North America, where stricter emission standards applied, it produced 207 hp - thanks to different engine electronics and a catalytic converter.
But it wasn't just the performance that impressed. The engineers had extensively revised the engine compared to its predecessor (the 911 SC): new pistons, a different cylinder head, an improved Bosch Motronic DME (Digital Motor Electronics) and higher efficiency. The 3.2 was not just more powerful - it was more efficient, more robust and more reliable.
Visually, the 911 Carrera 3.2 remained true to its origins - after all, it was still the classic 911 with the round eyes, the flared fenders and the unmistakable silhouette. There were minor changes: a new spoiler design, revised bumpers in accordance with US regulations, and rims that mostly appeared in the form of the popular Fuchs rims - a trademark for decades. Anyone looking at the Carrera 3.2 in the "G-series" would recognize a mixture of purist sportiness and increased suitability for everyday use. The design was now perfect in form. Porsche had learned a great deal over the past two decades - and implemented this knowledge in fine details: better seats, improved heating system, galvanized bodywork to prevent rust - the 3.2 was built to last.
The Carrera 3.2 was not only available as a Coupé, but also as a Targa and a Cabriolet - the latter enjoyed great popularity in the USA. Also rare and sought-after: the 911 Carrera 3.2 Clubsport (from 1987), which was a real driver's car with around 70 kilograms less weight and purist, sporty equipment (no rear seat, no electric windows, no air conditioning). Only around 340 of these were built.
Another highlight came in 1987: the new G50 gearbox, a 5-speed manual gearbox from Getrag, which was significantly more precise and robust than the previous 915 gearbox. Connoisseurs particularly appreciate the models from this year onwards.
production ended in 1989 - the Carrera 3.2 made way for the all-new Porsche 964, and although this came with all-wheel drive, ABS, power steering and lots of technology, many see the 3.2 as the last true classic 911: air-cooled, mechanical, honest - without electronic helpers, but with character.
And this is exactly what we would like to offer you - a dark blue Porsche built in 1988 with all the aforementioned "refinements" - and second-hand since 1991. It has never needed to be repainted as it has been driven accident-free all these years. Its last owner was a former Bosch engineer. He only used this special car for outings, for example - it was his "Sunday car", so to speak.
It was important to both previous owners that the Porsche was always well looked after - and with proof in the checkbook. You will also like the fantastic color combination, because it is not only blue on the outside, but also has a dark blue-grey leather interior. And if you want some air from above while driving, you can also operate the switch for the sunroof.
Now we leave the decision to you, but one thing should be mentioned again;
the Carrera 3.2 is more than just a classic car today - it is a symbol. A driving monument to the time when sports cars were still loud, direct and uncompromising. It lets its drivers feel what made Porsche great: Driving pleasure, precision and an unshakeable connection between man and machine. Anyone who drives it understands why the 911 is still alive today.
