The 3.2 Carrera was launched in October 1983 and although similar in appearance to the outgoing SC, had numerous technical improvements to improve driveability, refinement, and performance. Most notable was the new 3164cc engine that featured a digital motronic 2 electronic (DME) management system and a new Bosch LE Jetronic fuel injection to raise power from 204BHP to 231BHP. This not only gave a 10% improvement in fuel economy, but the top speed also increased from 146mph to 152mph. This engine was significantly more powerful than the previous 3.0-liter unit, and provided improved acceleration and performance. The 3.2-liter engine was also much smoother and more refined, making it a great choice for long-distance driving.
In October 1986, a significant change was made with the introduction of the G50 gearbox which further improved refinement and ease of driving. It is these models that are the more desirable cars today. This was a 5-speed manual transmission that replaced the previous 4-speed unit, offering smoother and more precise shifting. The G50 was also known for its durability and longevity, making it a popular choice among Porsche enthusiasts.
The 911 3.2 Targa was also updated with a number of cosmetic changes, including new exterior lighting and improved interior trim. The interior was also updated with more comfortable and supportive seats, as well as improved instrumentation and audio systems.
