DESCRIPTION

'964' is Porsche's internal designation for the version of their 911 manufactured and sold between 1989 and 1994. Designed by Benjamin Dimson in 1986, it featured significant styling revisions over previous 911 models; most prominently in the way that the bumpers, spoilers and wheel arches blended cohesively into the bodywork. It was the first iteration of the 911 to be offered with Porsche's 'Tiptronic' automatic transmission and all wheel drive as options. Porsche chose to re-use the 3.3-litre, turbocharged engine from the 930 with several minor revisions that made the engine smoother, less prone to turbo lag, and more powerful with a total output of 320bhp at 5,750rpm. The sleek silhouette of the 964 was indicative of Porsche's new design philosophy and is regarded in hindsight, as one of the prettiest 911s ever built and certainly, in period, was one of the most powerful.

But this Satin Black, 1992-example is no ordinary Turbo: It features the code "X33" in the option list making it a rare beast indeed. This innocent code tells the connoisseur that Porsche themselves breathed upon the engine and the "Werks Leistungs Steigerung" was just what the name said: Cars so fitted had 355 horsepower at their disposal and such equipped the 964 Turbo was a brilliant driving machine. Nonetheless, this flawless Turbo has only 65,271 kilometers on the clock and its history is fully documented. It was sold new in Germany and imported to Denmark in 2014. The Porsche Classic approved 'My Garage' issued a Porsche Certificate and the 4-owner car comes with all books, including a fully stamped service history and German papers.
