Porsche 964 Turbo 3.3

Sold

About this Collectable

The Porsche 964 Turbo is the successor to the legendary 930 Turbo. More modern, but still with the brutal, almost aggressive looks and rear-wheel drive only. This particular car was delivered in the Netherlands and is finished in 'Bad Boys-spec': black with the Speedline rims of the 3.6 model.

The first generation 911 Turbo was famous as well as infamous. The car received its sinister nickname 'Widow Maker' for a reason. The successor to the 930 Turbo was less unpredictable, but the 964 Turbo is still a car that should be treated with respect.

The 964 Turbo has the same 3.3 engine as the 930. The engine was upgraded, however, increasing power from 300 hp to 320 hp and the torque from 412 Nm to 450 Nm. According to the factory specification, the 964 Turbo reached 100 km/h in 5,0 seconds, but in real-life tests, it turned out to be even faster.

In contrast to the later 911 Turbos, which are all AWD, this 964 is still an old school 911 Turbo. That means it's purely rear-wheel drive. Therefore, this 911 still hasn't completely lost its Widow Maker character, although the turbo gap is less profound and the car is equipped with ABS.

Even before you get in, the 964 commands respect with its impressive looks. The bulking wide wheel arches and the 'whale tail' spoiler make this is real head-turner. Although it's not a 3.6, this example looks just like the one used in the Bad Boys movie. It is finished in black and fitted with the sought-after 3.6 Speedline rims, combined with red brake calipers.

This is a 964 Turbo that was delivered new to the Netherlands, where it's currently with it's third owner. The history is known, the known 964 Turbo issues have been taken care of and at 160.000 km the engine and gearbox have received a partial revision. A rare opportunity to own this desirable Porsche Collectable.

Our opinion

A car that seems to go fast even when standing still, the 964 Turbo. A Porsche with an old-fashioned Turbo gap, which you easily get used to,  to be honest. Just a little anticipation, step on the pedal, 1-2-3.... go! The Widow Maker stories give the old 911 Turbo models almost a kind of hero status, but with the much better tyres of today, the sudden overtaking effect is not as bad as it used to be.

The owner first had a 930 Turbo, but then went for the 964 Turbo. The 930 Turbo may be the granddaddy of them all, but we know from our own experience that it has some rough edges as well. An old-fashioned Turbo is still pretty damn quick, often approaches a corner faster than you think so ABS is certainly welcome in wet conditions. So we don't blame him. The 964 is just a bit more refined, but still wonderfully old school. Both in terms of driving experience and looks. And personally we are fans of the design. Just a bit more modern, more rounded, especially in this Bad Boys guise. The content of the film was not very substantial, so this car must have been the reason for its success. 

This one may not be 100% original because of the various improvements, but you have to admit: you can't say no to the Speedline rims of the 3.6. If you are looking for a 964 Turbo to actually enjoy and drive, then this is your car.

About the seller

The owner is an avid Porsche enthusiast, who owned a 930 Turbo. He decided to exchange it for this 964 Turbo, as it's slightly more sophisticated, while maintaining the classic looks. Next to this 964 Turbo, he also owned a more recent Porsche, a 997 GT3 Mk2. However, he wanted to replace both these cars with one Porsche. That became a 991 GT3 Touring, which he recently bought. That is the reason the 964 Turbo is now leaving the garage.
