They were the last of the original Porsche 911 design before the 964 bodies launched in 1990. The all-alloy, flat-6 engine gave the 911 231hp, which meant a 0-60 time of 5.5 seconds. All Carrera 3.2s feature galvanized bodies, which ensure that these classics are long lasting. The 911 3.2 Carrera was offered with the „915“ type gearbox from 1984-1986 with cable operated clutch. The last few years of the 911 3.2 Carrera’s model, and the most rare due to its being equipped Porsche’s superb, uprated, bulletproof G50 gearbox with hydraulic clutch assembly.

The first, not being able to afford it at the age of fifteen, and more importantly, not having a drivers license to be able to drive the 911 legally at the time, even if he had the money.

A boyhood dream became reality.
