Porsche 964 Jubiläumsmodell „30 Jahre 911“

In addition to an individual colour scheme, an extended full leather interior and an increase in factory output to 3.8 litres without an increase in cubic capacity were also planned. This was therefore a „small“ solution, which included machined cylinder heads and an adaptation of the control unit and increased the rated output of the engine to 270 hp. The four-wheel drive should complete the whole package as an other unique selling proposition. The customer service report pointed out how far this beginning was already considered. As an official document it referred to the standard chassis and the brake assembly of the turbo, which should belong, as with Turbo-Look vehicles of the past always did, to the full equipment package of the anniversary model.
From today’s point of view the plans of the development department to the 30. Birthday came at the wrong time. After a once more expected record loss in the model year 1993, Zuffenhausen was close to the heart of the darkness. The rumors about the loss of the independence of Porsche did not want to stop.
In summary it was such a costly project surrounded by world economy crises and utilization emergency. Despite of staff reduction and a manufacturing order for Mercedes, (500E-manufacturing) no one had the courage to enforce the plans before the executive committee and staff.
