Porsche 911 (964)

Isn't this one of the earlier 911 versions that killed you by propelling you into ditches/trees?

 

That's the feller! The 964 turbo is/was a scary car. It's the 964 shape that I always picture when someone says "911".

 

The 993 (it's successor) was a significant step forward in handling (and is still the best 911 IMO!).

Thats the only Porsche i consider good looking tbh. Same style as the one from bad boys. I would have that in a heartbeat. The new ones just look soft.

been while since I watched bad boys, but I thought that was the 993? could be wrong on this....

I don't understand Porsche 911 versions number designation policy, why did they leap from 964 to 993....?

 

Porsche version numbers are all over the place a bit, but I think the 911 series is maybe based on years?

 

The original 911 was introduced in the mid-60's - maybe 1964 ?

 

The 993 was introduced in 1993, I think and (I guess) the 996 around '96?

I don't know my porshes from my squatting dogs so i can't comment on what model it is but the picture posted above looks like it.

 

if the 993 looks like that then i can add that to my list too ;)

The 964 came out in 1989. 1993 was out in '93 while 996 was out in '97.
