Bowing in late 1988 for the '89 model year, the Porsche Carrera 4 looked similar to the most recent 911 barring smoother bumpers and side sills. The outer shell with this car may have deceived more than usual, as this car has been suggested to be a direct descendant of the unforgettable and remarkable twin-turbo 959, the "C4" was termed by at least one commentator as the "people's 959.”

Part of the new-for-1989 K Series program, the Carrera 4 (Type 964) was presented with all-wheel drive, ABS four-wheel disc brakes, coil spring suspension and numerous aerodynamic improvements which ushered in the next generation of the 911. Although Porsche continued with the distinctive body design, approximately 85-percent of the 964’s parts were new. The new Carrera generation was the most slippery air-cooled production 911 yet built.

The car being offered is presented in red with a black interior and runs with a horizontally-opposed 3.6-liter, 247-hp six-cylinder engine with a five-speed manual gearbox. This special machine has been driven little and although the oil filter and tires have been changed, the car does come with these original components. All service records and documents from new also are included. This is a well-equipped car that has air conditioning, radio, power steering, brakes and windows.

Porsche has always been renowned as producing a high performance sports car which advances into new dimensions, pushing the limits of modern sports car engineering. The Carrera 4 was no exception.
