The Porsche 964 generation, launched in 1989, marked a pivotal moment in the illustrious history of the 911. While its silhouette remained unmistakably 911, an astonishing 85% of its components were new, ushering in a thoroughly modern era for Zuffenhausen's icon. The most significant innovation was the introduction of the Carrera 4, which brought an advanced all-wheel-drive system directly derived from the technological marvel that was the 959 supercar. This system, capable of sending up to 31% of power to the front wheels, dramatically enhanced the 911's all-weather capability and handling prowess without diluting its characteristic rear-engined dynamics. With its coil-spring suspension replacing the torsion bars of its predecessors, the 964 blended traditional air-cooled charm with unprecedented refinement and performance. This particular 1989 Porsche 964 Carrera 4 Coupe arrives in its factory-applied Silver Metallic paint, presenting a classic and understated elegance that perfectly suits the model's timeless lines. The exterior is complemented by a purposeful black interior, emphasizing the driver-focused cockpit. Under the rear decklid resides the potent 3.6-liter flat-six engine, a significant upgrade from the earlier 3.2-liter unit, paired with a five-speed manual transmission that allows for full engagement with the sophisticated all-wheel-drive system. Showing 0 miles, this example stands as a testament to the enduring appeal and engineering excellence of the first-year 964 Carrera 4. For the enthusiast seeking an early example of the technically advanced air-cooled 911, this Carrera 4 offers an unrepeatable opportunity.
