The Porsche 964 occupies a unique position in the history of the 911. Introduced in 1989, it represented the most significant technical evolution of the model since its launch while retaining the unmistakable character of the air-cooled era.
This example is a 1989 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 Coupé, belonging to the very first year of production of the 964 generation. Finished in its original Dark Green Metallic (L80K), it presents an elegant and increasingly rare specification that perfectly complements the timeless design of the classic 911.
Power comes from the legendary 3.6-litre naturally aspirated air-cooled flat-six engine, paired with a manual gearbox and Porsche’s advanced all-wheel-drive system. The Carrera 4 was a groundbreaking model for Porsche, bringing enhanced stability and usability while preserving the engaging, mechanical driving experience that enthusiasts value so highly today.
Factory equipment includes electrically adjustable comfort seats, heated front seats, air conditioning, a Blaupunkt Bremen radio and an additional amplifier, creating a specification that balances classic Porsche character with long-distance usability and comfort.
Equally important, the car is accompanied by its original Porsche documentation, factory records and a documented mileage history, reinforcing its authenticity and provenance. The original Porsche option sticker is also retained, further supporting the originality of the car’s configuration.
Today, the 964 is widely regarded as the perfect bridge between the classic and modern Porsche eras. Combining iconic styling, air-cooled engineering, everyday usability and analogue driving enjoyment, the 964 Carrera 4 remains one of the most desirable and significant Porsche 911 generations ever produced.
