About the Porsche 911 Carrera 2 - 964

Debuting for the 1990 model year, the Porsche 911 Carrera 2 marked a significant step forward for the 911, introducing the 964 generation’s modernised chassis and technology while retaining classic air-cooled character. As the rear-wheel-drive counterpart to the Carrera 4, the Carrera 2 was offered in Coupe, Cabriolet, and Targa body styles and powered by Porsche’s 3.6-litre naturally aspirated M64 flat-six, producing 247 hp. Buyers could choose between a five-speed G50 manual or a four-speed Tiptronic automatic, giving the range broader everyday appeal, while special offshoots such as the America Roadster and Turbo-Look (M491) Cabriolet added further variety. Total production reached 34,398 examples worldwide before the Carrera 2 concluded in 1994, ahead of the 993’s introduction. In the Australian market, the 964 Carrera 2 is particularly well regarded for its balance of classic air-cooled feel and improved usability, with values influenced by body style (Coupe premium), transmission (manual preference), originality, mileage, and condition, as enthusiasts increasingly favour rear-drive 964s as some of the purest modern-usable air-cooled 911s.
