This example is finished in a unique configuration of Paint-To-Sample Cadmiumgelb over Extended black leather, and very low mileage.
The original 18″ Speedline wheels are period-correct, with 1993 date codes, genuine Speedline bolts, and fitted with brand new Michelin Pilot Sport tires.
This car was delivered new in France in May 1994, and had just two owners since then. It was stored for over 10 years after the second owner passed away (documented). During storage, the car got a few scratches and it recently went through a high-end repaint. All panels remain original, as this was just a cosmetic respray. The vehicle is 100% accident-free.
The experts will know that the 964 Turbo 3.6 was a big improvement over the preceding Turbo 3.3: the 3.6-liter M64/50 turbo engine was fitted with new camshafts, pistons, crankcase, cylinders, rods, along with a raised boost pressure of 0.92 bar (vs. 0.82 bar) and 7.5:1 compression ratio (vs. 7.0:1). This meant 360hp and 520Nm (384 lb-ft) of torque: good for a sprint from 0 to 100 in just 4.6 seconds and a top speed of 288 km/h (179mph) ! Don’t get fooled by its 30 years of age, the 964 Turbo 3.6 is a savage performer, with an addictive power delivery, as described by the press back in the days:
“This is an exuberantly fast car. Floor the accelerator and as soon as 3,500 comes up on the rev counter, the hurricane is unleashed, you feel the fat Dunlops fighting for grip, the car is catapulted forward and it becomes urgent to grasp the gear lever to shift into a higher gear.” – Paul Frère, World-Famous Racing Driver and Journalist
