Porsche 964 Turbo Modified in Heaven | Meant to be Driven
We drive and review a modified
Porsche 911 964
Turbo. Being a very rare collector car with unlimited style and substance, this is one of our favourite cars and we had a lot of fun filming and driving it. let us know if you want to see more Porsche's on the channel!
Porsche introduced the 964 Turbo model in
March, 1990[3] as the successor to the 930.
Unfortunately, they hadn't had the necessary time to develop a turbocharged version of the
3.6 litre
M64 engine, and chose to re-use the 3.3 litre 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 320 PS (240 kW; 320 hp) @ 5750 rpm. A total of 3,660 of the 964
Turbos were built.
In
1992, the 3.3 litre Turbo S was introduced. With a power of 381 PS (280 kW; 376 hp) and
with a lightweight interior and limited "creature comforts" the Turbo S was one of the fastest
cars on the road. With lowered suspension, a front strut brace and manual steering, the
Turbo S was geared to performance. About 80 cars were produced during the only year of
production.
Porsche released the 964 Turbo 3.6 in
January, 1993,[3] now featuring a turbocharged
version of the 3.6 litre M64 engine and producing
360 PS (260 kW; 360 hp) @
5500 rpm,
the 3.6 litre powered Turbo was produced only for model year
1993/
1994, with fewer than
1,
500 of them produced in total, making it one of the rarest and most sought after Porsches
produced since the 959.
At the end of 964 production in 1994, the Porsche factory had some 90 Turbo chassis left.
These were all transferred to Porsche Exclusiv and built as the very special Turbo 3.6S. The
Turbo 3.6S was available either with the traditional 964 Turbo 3.6 body, or with the
exclusive
Slant nose option.
Option X83 (
Japan), X84 (
ROW) and X85 (
USA), the Turbo S Slantnose, was available in
the US as a $60,
179 USD option on top of the base price $99,
000 USD Turbo 3.6. The
"Slantnose" option was available when ordering the no charge '36S' option '1994 Turbo "S"
Model'. In addition to the Slantnose fenders, it also included the 'X88' option or the 'Turbo S'
motor, the 'X92'
Exclusive front spoiler, 'X93' Exclusive rear spoiler and '
X99' Exclusive rear
fender vents. The Slantnose option was designed around the model 968 front end for the
ROW and USA versions and the 930 style Turbo S front end for Japan (right down to the sill
covers on the fenders). 39
Models were made for US markets, 27 for the
Rest of the world,
and 10 for Japan all in
Polar Silver.
