1991 Porsche 911 Carrera 2 Targa

1991 Porsche 911 Carrera 2 Targa

Published January 11, 2016 by Rob

The 964 is looking like the hot car on the 911 market at the moment, serving as a fitting reversal of the overall struggle the model suffered under during its production run. Porsche offered a huge variety of colors for the 964 – granted, Porsche always offered a wide variety of colors, though on the surface it has always felt like they expanded even more for the 964 – but we don’t come across many of those wild colors very often on the standard models. For instance, the Lime Yellow Carrera RS Paul featured over the weekend is one of the few yellow 964s I can recall seeing and I cannot recall any of those being a standard Carrera. That is the nature with rare colors, of course. But here we have one: a Coral Red 1991 Porsche 911 Carrera 2 Targa, located in Montreal, with Beige leather interior and 79,900 miles on it.

Now Legal for Import: 1992 Porsche 911 Carrera RS

Now Legal for Import: 1992 Porsche 911 Carrera RS

Published January 10, 2016 by Paul

We’ve been taking a look at cars now eligible for importation to the US over the last week or so. We’ve had a good response to this new feature and plan to continue on with it from time to time. We’ve saved the best for last this week with one of the purest Porsche 911s of recent memory: the 911 Carrera RS. Right after Christmas, we took a look at a 1993 Carrera RS in my favorite Porsche color of Mint Green. The Carrera RS was deemed a bit too aggressive for US customers so we received the RS America instead. This 1992 Carrera RS for sale near Münster, Germany is not yet legal for import, but soon will be, albeit at a very steep cost.

1994 Porsche 911 Turbo S Flatnose

1994 Porsche 911 Turbo S Flatnose

Published January 5, 2016 by Rob

Naturally it took me very little time to decide whether to feature this car after I came across it. Here we have a 1994 Porsche 911 Turbo S Flatnose. 1 of 39 produced for the US market, and 1 of 93 total Turbo S produced worldwide. The 3.6 Turbo S was the final iteration of a variety of 964 turbos Porsche produced beginning in 1991 with the basic Turbo, which carried over the 3.3 liter turbocharged flat-six that had served the 930 so well for many years. In 1993 a turbocharged version of the 964’s 3.6 liter flat-six finally was readied and as a final send-off Porsche Exclusive took hold of the remaining Turbo chassis available to produce a Turbo S based off of that 3.6 liter engine. The majority of the 93 cars produced (66 in all) featured the 968-derived flatnose and that nose remains the car’s most identifiable feature. Other notable features are a unique whale tail, Speedline wheels, quad exhaust, and rear air inlets to help feed air to the engine. And of course, they had more power – 385 hp – all delivered to the rear wheels. These were the last of the purely rear-drive Turbos Porsche would produce outside of the GT2, which raised the insanity even more. The 964 saw a pretty large number of limited production models and for its combination of performance and refinement the Turbo S remains one of the best.

1993 Porsche Carrera RS

1993 Porsche Carrera RS

Published December 26, 2015 by Paul

The beginning of a new year is a great thing for car enthusiasts, as it means another year of tasty vehicles we can get our hands on that were never imported to the United States because of the No Fun Club (aka the Department of Transportation and the Environmental Protection Agency). It will be another two years before this 1993 Porsche Carrera RS will be eligible for important to the US under the 25 year rule, but that date will be here before we know it. In the meantime, I’ll keep ogling at the Mint Green paintwork, my favorite of all 964 hues. The Carrera RS was a European market only 964, a lightweight special deemed a bit too hard edged for the US market. Nevertheless, 45 examples of a model similar to the Carrera RS were imported by Porsche for use in a proposed Porsche Carrera Cup series that never happened due to lack of sponsorship.

These 45 cars were sold without any advertisement, as Porsche was readying another lightweight model for the US market, the 911 RS America. Weighing in at just under 3,000 pounds, these 964s had a bit of weight saving features with just enough niceties included to appeal to the American motorist. However, for those who want the purest of 964 experiences, only a Carrera RS like this one for sale in France will do.

1994 Porsche 911 Carrera 2 Targa

1994 Porsche 911 Carrera 2 Targa

Published December 21, 2015 by Rob

I became somewhat irrationally excited when I came across this Porsche 911. I say my excitement was irrational simply because this is just a standard 911 in a pretty standard (even if quite popular) color. But I’m a fan of the Targa and we don’t come across all that many for the 964. Targas tend to be a little bit unloved and, as was discussed with Saturday’s Carrera 4 Wide Body, the 964 generally wasn’t well loved when it was on the market. So maybe there aren’t a lot of 964 Targas out there. Regardless, I was happy to come across this one and, better yet, it comes from the last year of 964 production, which also makes this the last year of the original Targa design for the air-cooled models. The 993 Targa was a different design altogether, one that I don’t care much for, and it is only with the 991 that Porsche has returned to its original design. For fans of the original Targa this is as modern as an air-cooled example will get. Here we have a Guards Red 1994 Porsche 911 Carrera 2 Targa, located in Chicago, with Black leather interior and 79,313 miles on it.
