The legendary Porsche 911 Turbo story began with the Type 930 in 1975. It delivered thrilling performance, but its handling quirks could be a handful. While undeniably fast, it was clear Porsche’s turbocharged formula needed refinement.
Enter the Type 964 Turbo, introduced in 1990. It marked a turning point for Porsche’s turbocharged legend. Handling became more predictable, but unlike its successor (the 993 Turbo with mandatory all-wheel drive), the 964 stuck to rear-wheel drive.
The 1991 and 1992 models are particularly interesting. They carried the torch from the wilder 70s turbos with their 3.3-liter, 315 bhp flat-six engine (inherited from the 930). This bridged the gap to the more controlled, high-tech sports cars of today.
This specific 1991 911 Turbo 3.3, finished in a stunning paint-to-sample Ferrari Yellow, is a prime example. It boasts a 3.3-liter turbocharged flat-six engine mated to a five-speed manual transmission and an optional limited-slip differential for optimal handling.
Inside, you’ll find black partial leather seats, 17-inch Cup wheels, a power sunroof, air conditioning, and power-adjustable features with driver’s lumbar support. It even has a Becker CDR-210 radio from a later Porsche model.
Often overlooked, the 964 Turbo can still hold its own against many modern performance cars. It offers the perfect blend of usability, performance, and Porsche’s renowned reliability. With its exceptional condition, low mileage, and unique paint job, this particular car is a true collector’s item for any Porsche enthusiast.
