The Porsche 911 is easily considered one of the most coveted sports cars of all time. Its lengthy history extends over 50 years of production and to this day, the iconic design lines are still utilized. Throughout the 911’s long life, it has steadily evolved becoming more refined but still maintaining the essence of its roots. The air-cooled era spawned some of Porsche’s greatest creations and by 1989, they released what is referred to as the 964 series. The 964 was a milestone in the 911 lineage, as it saw a variety of technologies that were yet to be integrated as standard features in addition to having a new, re-engineered chassis. In terms of major cosmetic changes, the 964 received redesigned front and rear bumpers for better aerodynamics and an electronic, self-deploying rear wing for added downforce at high speeds. ABS and power steering were made a standard feature for the 964, as well as a 3.6L flat-six that propelled the car to 60mph in 5.5 seconds. Porsche did not stop there because one could either choose a rear-wheel-drive platform in the Carrera 2 or opt for four-wheel drive in the Carrera 4. The 964 was often overlooked by Porsche aficionados until the recent appreciation of air-cooled Porsches which sparked new interest in the once undervalued 964.
The “America Roadster” variant traces its roots back to the 1950s when US importer, Max Hoffman aimed to introduce an open-top, sporting 356 variant to the promising US market by offering the now highly coveted, 356 America Roadster. Only 25 were produced but this limited production run validated America’s desire for more offerings. Soon after, the Speedster was born. In a stroke of marketing brilliance, Porsche released the 964 America Roadster in 1992, 40 years after the debut of the 356 America Roadster and right before the release of the 964 Speedster. They paid further homage to the 356 version by adding a “0” to the end of the 356 America Roadster production figures to produce a total of 250 964 America Roadster variants for the US with even less (about 54) produced for the 1993 model year. As in the 356, the 964 Roadster was meant to be a performance-focused, open-top car. Breaking it down further, one will realize that the America Roadster is essentially a 964 Turbo-Look/Widebody in convertible form. It featured upgraded turbo brakes, suspension, 17-inch cup wheels, and rear seat deletion. These models now present as an opportunity to own a highly coveted, limited production, air-cooled Porsche for under $100,000.

About Porsche 911 / 964
The Porsche 964 is the internal designation for the Porsche 911 models produced between 1989 and 1994. It was the successor to the Porsche 3.2 Carrera and was designed to be a more refined and modern version of the classic Porsche 911.One of the major changes in the 964 was the introduction of an all-wheel-drive system, called the Carrera 4. The 964 was also the first Porsche 911 to feature power steering, anti-lock brakes, and an airbag as standard equipment. In addition, the suspension was updated to provide a smoother ride and better handling.
The 964 was powered by a range of engines, including a 3.3-liter turbocharged flat-six, a 3.6-liter naturally aspirated flat-six, and a 3.6-liter turbocharged flat-six. The top-of-the-line 964 Turbo S was capable of producing 385 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque, making it one of the fastest production cars of its time.
Today, the Porsche 964 is considered a classic sports car and is highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts.
