Debuting for the 1989 model year, the Porsche 911 Carrera 4 carried forward the familiar 911 silhouette, subtly updated with smoother bumpers and integrated side skirts. Beneath that recognizable shape, however, lay a far more advanced machine. Many enthusiasts viewed the 964-generation Carrera 4 as a spiritual offshoot of Porsche’s groundbreaking 959, earning it the nickname “the people’s 959.”

Power came from a 3.6-liter air-cooled M64 flat-six, producing 247 horsepower and 228 lb-ft of torque, routed to all four wheels through a five-speed manual transmission for confident performance in all conditions.

Watching AutoTopNL unleash the 964 Carrera 4 on the German autobahn adds a whole new dimension to its legend. With unrestricted stretches of road, the car is pushed flat-out, allowing viewers to experience its stability, engine note, and relentless acceleration at speeds most roads would never permit.
