Porsche 911 Carrera 3.2

The vehicle in detail

In 1987 the Carrera range was facelifted and revised. Many of the changes over the previous iteration of the Carrera helped to greatly improve the car and the driving experience. But there was no doubting that the most significant change was the introduction of the Getrag G50 5-speed gearbox. Along with the introduction of a hydraulic rather than cable operated clutch, this dramatically enhanced the shift quality and the driving experience. The 911 is powered by an air-cooled 930/25 3.2 litre engine with revised Motronic engine management that increased power output and enabled it to run on 95 octane fuel. Maximum power output is 231 bhp at 5,900 rpm. 0-62 mph was achieved in 6.1 seconds. The German magazine “Auto, Motor, Sport” summarized the experience driving the renewed 911 G-series, “The Porsche 911 Carrera 3.2 offers driving in its finest form. The cockpit is a feast for the eyes, the engine one for the ears.”  Today, the 911 Carrera 3.2 is widely regarded as one of the best classic Porsches.  It’s the last Porsche 911 with the unique shape of the early 911s, embodying the end of a sports car era which lasted for 26 years.
