The Porsche 964 was introduced in 1989 and is considered the first major update to the 911 1963 release. The 964 featured a more stylish and sustainable design, improved suspension and braking systems, and of course a more powerful 3.6 liter flat engine that delivered 250 hp. Gone are the extruded impact bumpers with bellows, which have been redesigned with a more elegant solution. The 964 was also the first 911 to be offered with all-wheel drive, which greatly enhanced its handling and performance.
