Porsche 964 Carrera 4

For many enthusiasts, the 964 is the Porsche that truly defines the 911. Introduced in 1989, it brought the classic air-cooled 911 into a new era, combining the character and purity of its predecessors with a remarkable level of engineering development. Beneath the rear deck sits the legendary 3.6-litre M64 flat-six naturally aspirated, air-cooled and wonderfully mechanical in its delivery. It is the sort of engine that never fails to put a smile on the face of an enthusiast.

The Carrera 4 was the first 964 to arrive in 1989 and represented a significant step forward for Porsche. Its sophisticated four-wheel-drive system delivered an entirely new level of traction and confidence, without taking away the unmistakable character of the 911. This was a car engineered to be faster, more capable and more accomplished, whilst retaining the analogue feel that makes the 964 so desirable today. For those who appreciate the engineering as much as the driving experience, the Carrera 4 remains a particularly compelling 964.
