Type 964 is Porsche’s internal code name for the 911 Carrera 2 and 911 Carrera 4 models, which were badged simply as “Carrera 2” and “Carrera 4”. “964” is used by Porsche enthusiasts to distinguish them from other generations of the Carrera lineage.
The 964 was considered to be 85% new as compared to its predecessor, the Carrera 3.2. The first 964’s available in 1989 were all wheel drive equipped “Carrera 4” models; Porsche added the rear wheel drive Carrera 2 variant to the range in 1990. A new naturally aspirated engine called the M64 was used for 964 models, with a flat-6 displacement of 3.6 litres. The suspension was redesigned using coil springs instead of torsion bars, the first major engineering changes since the original 911. The front suspension used MacPherson struts, a system that has continued for all subsequent versions, but the rear suspension retained semi-trailing arms. Power steering and ABS brakes were added to the 911 for the first time; both were standard. The exterior bumpers and fog lamps became flush with the car for better aerodynamics. A new electric rear spoiler is automatically raised at speeds above 50 mph (80 km/h) and lowered down flush with the rear engine lid at lower speeds. A new automatic climate control system provided improved heating and cooling. Revised instrumentation housed a large set of warning lights that were tied into the car’s central warning system, alerting the driver to a possible problem or malfunction.
