Porsche 911 Carrera 2 Coupé (964)
Car-ID: XT0066
Vehicle Description
This white Porsche Carrera 2 coupé from the 964 series was built in 1990 and originally delivered to the US. It was reimported and has been registered in Germany since 2012 with one ownership in the registration documents. The number of previous owners in the US is unknown. The odometer shows an unwarranted mileage of 125,600 km.
It is an early Tiptronic model, as this system had only been introduced in 1990, and it also features two airbags, which had become standard for the US specification of the same year. The Porsche also comes equipped with climate control (out of order), trip computer, cruise control, power windows, electrically adjustable seats, sunroof and the original Porsche CR 31 cassette radio (currently not working). It runs on the popular “man hole cover” rims with only little curb damage. The black leather interior is in good shape with slight traces of use. The driver’s door, rear bonnet and rear bumper have been repainted. Stone chip damage with onset of rust is visible on the front boot lid. The underbody is slightly grazed.
The 6 cylinder engine in the back produces 184 kW (250 hp) of power, sufficient for a top speed of up to 256 km/h. Technical approval expired in 05/2014.
All in all, a competitively priced 911 in decent condition which still needs a few things done.
After 16 years of production, the highly popular “G model” of the Porsche 911 was due for a thorough makeover in 1989. The successor, which bore the internal code 964, is said to have shared no more than 15 % of its parts with model it replaced. While retaining the characteristic basic design, the 964 brought a cornucopia of technical innovations. For the first time in a 911, all wheel drive, derived from the technology carrier Porsche 959, and the Tiptronic automatic gearshift became available. Power steering, airbags as well as ABS brakes likewise found their way into the 911. The suspension was revised substantially, it now featured coil springs and shock absorbers instead of torsion bars. From the outside, the most noticeable change lay in the large, integrated bumpers, as well as in the electric rear spoiler which was raised and lowered according to the travelling speed.
In the rear, there was still the air-cooled six-cylinder boxer engine – now with twin-spark – which most commonly had 3.6 litres of displacement, though 3.3 and 3.75 litre variants were available, as well as turbo engines.
The 964 was the last 911 model which was offered as a traditional Targa with the removable roof.
