The 911 Carrera Type 964 (By Glen Smale)

From a technical perspective, the 911 Carrera Type 964 represented one of the most significant steps forward for Porsche, for many years. The new Type 964 looked like a 911 that had just undergone an annual face-lift, but this was because the only real external changes were to the wheels and details below the bumper line, which were designed to improve aerodynamics. Even the interior looked familiar, but beneath the surface lay an altogether new model, capable of providing a platform to support a whole new generation of 911 models, well into the future.

In 2018, the 964 celebrates its 40^th anniversary, but back in 1988 this model was introduced to coincide with the 25^th anniversary of the 911, which had been launched at the 1963 Frankfurt Motor Show.
