Some manufacturers don't hesitate to change the name of fundamentally unchanged models, in order to give them a new lease of life at little cost. In 1988, Porsche did exactly the opposite: under the unchanged - and by now unavoidable for the Zuffenhausen firm - identity of "911", it was an almost entirely new car that enthusiasts were able to discover that year. The Typ 964, as listed in the Porsche nomenclature, was 85% new, even though the overall architecture remained faithful to the 911's fundamentals and the car's silhouette had been carefully preserved. With its flat-six engine still mounted on the rear overhang, its frog eyes and on-board furnishings largely taken from its predecessors, the model today appears as a seductive aggregate of the vintage attributes of the most famous of Porsches (the 911's "face" will change very significantly with the arrival of the 993) and a certain modernity, with its power steering, ABS and finally efficient heating system. When equipped with two-wheel drive, as here, the 964 also delivers a driving sensation that's more or less intact!
