Porsche 911 964. One of my dream cars.
Jul 28, 2021,21:07 PM
I have a bit less than ten dream cars: The Ferrari 246 Dino, the Alpine A110, the Volvo P1800, the Jaguar E Type, curiously the Alfa Montreal, a good old Mercedes Pagoda 280 SL and... The Porsche 911.
Porsche 911, you will ask me which one, as since 1963, we had many versions.
For me, the 911 of my dreams is the 964, which was in production between 1989 and 1994, if my memory serves me well. Curious choice, you will tell me. In fact, not that curious. For me, this reference is the best of both modern and vintage worlds, mechanically and aesthetically.
It still is a sports car, more than the luxury cars it became with years passing.
Ok, I hear you, with its 6 cylinders delivering 250 HP only, it is not a super fast car, but it is not as heavy as the new ones are. And the driving sensations, even though not spectacular, offered something special, enough... Feelings.
I fear it is a bit too late to find and fund one, as the context of our " modern " civilization doesn't allow such a dream, in cities like Paris.
But still, a good dream to have!
Maybe one day, with a bit of luck.
Here are some pictures I found on the net. I cannot remember all the credits, but I will happily do so on request.

Ì must say I prefer the convertible, for its purer lines:
Here a special one I adore, the RS Lightweight:
And another special one, the 30th Anniversary ( 1993 ) :
Sweet roaring dreams, this 911 964!
How do you feel it?
Best,
