  • Porsche's 944/951/968
    964 Carrera 4 Cabriolet at the 1989 Motor Show, London 964 History by Ken Chambers, PCGB 964 Registry Secretary and Sideways Sid, PCGB 964 Owner That the Porsche 911 is legendary in the world of performance cars is unquestionable. With its distinctive shape and totally individual character the 911 has appealed to driving enthusiasts since its introduction in 1963. In 1989 the first major update resulted in the 964 model in the four-wheel drive Carrera 4 (Built on the experience of the Porsche 959). A year later followed the two-wheel drive Carrera 2. Production of these cars ran from 1989 up until 1993 and the introduction of the 993. During this period some 3,692 were imported into the United Kingdom. Although over 85% of the components had been redesigned, the body style remain faithful to the classic lines of the 911. Improved aerodynamics using knowledge gained from Le Mans winning 959 and 962, reduced the drag coefficient to 0.32, and with virtually zero lift greatly improved stability and road holding at high speed. A retractable rear spoiler automatically extends at 50mph and whilst increasing the downforce also doubles the volume of air intake for improved engine cooling. The spoiler automatically retracts at below 60 mph. The capacity of the famous flat six engine increased to 3.6 Litres. Gained twin spark ignition and become the most powerful normally aspirated 911 production engine with 250 bhp and 310 Nm of torque at 4,800 rpm, 0-60 coming up in just over 5 seconds and a top speed of 162 mph Tiptronic Electro-hydraulically controlled 4 speed transmission was as an option for the first time, giving the combination of manual and automatic gear selection being supplemented by immediate up or down gear selection by 'tipping' the gear lever forward or backwards.

Aufgrund einiger noch zu führender Verhandlungen müssen wir die Präsentation der 2016er Modelle ein wenig verschieben und auch Spark und Minichamps haben noch keine Informationen über die 2016er Autos verlauten lassen. Das Rennen selbst war spannend und sehr abwechslungsreich; die Unterbrechung nach wenigen Runden aufgrund des heftigen Unwetters mit Regen, Gewitter & Hagelschauer war ebenso ungewöhnlich wie der knappe Zieleinlauf mit wenigen Sekunden Vorsprung und der Führungswechsel in der letzten Runde. Es waren wieder einige sehr schöne Fahrzeuge dabei und auch das Kremer Team, erfolgreich auf dem 21.

Con essa, la Porsche 953 vinse la Parigi-Dakar nel 1984, mentre nel 1986 la supersportiva 959, dotata di trazione integrale variabile a comando elettronico, ottenne un’eclatante doppietta. 1988: la trazione integrale controllata utilizzata per la prima volta sul modello 911 di serie La prima 911 da strada con trazione integrale di serie viene presentata in anteprima mondiale nel 1988.
