Chris Harris reviews a rare Porsche 964 Turbo 3.6 with the X88 power package, finished in unique Horizon Blue with Marine Blue leather. One of only 13 right-hand-drive 964 Turbos with this upgrade, it boosts power from 360 to 385 hp.
Harris, previously a 993 and 997 fan, now calls the 964 possibly the definitive modern 911 shape. The car retains old-school quirks: offset driving position, turbo lag, and a solid, haphazardly built interior, which Harris finds charming.
The 964’s styling impresses with polished lines, wide rear arches, and the classic front, complemented by dark blue comfort seats and a simple, high-quality cabin. Despite low mileage, it’s ready to drive, offering a muted but distinctive 964 burble, crisp gearbox, and engaging turbo power.
Harris praises its balanced steering, ride, and understated exhaust tone, contrasting modern cars’ excess noise. He emphasizes it’s a car to be driven hard, not just preserved in a collection—a last truly quirky Porsche designed to deliver excitement on the road.
