About the 1989 Porsche 911 Carrera 4

The 964 Carrera 4 introduced all-wheel drive to the 911 lineup, revolutionizing the model's capabilities in adverse conditions. Benjamin Dimson's design retained the classic 911 silhouette while incorporating modern safety and performance features. The 3.6-liter flat-six produced 250 horsepower, channeled through Porsche's sophisticated AWD system that provided unprecedented traction and stability. This model bridged the gap between classic air-cooled 911s and modern technology, offering improved everyday usability without sacrificing the essential 911 character. For collectors, the 964 C4 represents an important evolutionary step and offers excellent value compared to its rear-wheel-drive siblings, making it an attractive entry point into air-cooled 911 ownership.
