Car Tales: Definitive, Porsche 964 Turbo US Sunroof Coupe

Is a 964 the definitive Porsche 911? For many, it most certainly is the quintessential 911, the most super of supercars, arriving towards the end of the air-cooled era but also with a few crucial final developments. And in recent years the 964 has enjoyed a renewed period of appreciation as the donor model for many a backdated 911 project, and also thanks to increased demand for the Carrera RS – a model ignored by the market for a long time.

As the iconic Porsche moves further towards a digital driving experience in the 2020s, those engaging, immersive, demanding 964s will remain loved, with their utterly unique and distinctive exhaust roar as the gears are shifted through.

As Peter Morgan wrote in his definitive book Original Porsche 911, ‘Porsche’s former chief designer and head of the Weissach Styling Department Harm Laagay once said that 911 is not just a number. It represents a car concept – a package of engineering and styling – that is eternal. “No matter how many changes the car goes through,” Laagay says, ‘the philosophy of the car, namely the way it drives, the seating arrangement, the rear-engined drive, and so on, that is forever.”’

Laagay’s words – the mindset that has been put into the car – are epitomized by an absolutely thrilling example, the limited production 964 Turbo US Sunroof Coupe, embodying the essence of the marque’s commitment to precision and performance – an incredible piece of automotive history, a remarkable blend of heritage and innovation.

Impossible not to have heart and love for it when form and function are so clearly intertwined.

At Beverly Hills Car Club right now we have #145 out of only 309 of these vehicles produced for the US market between August 1991 and July 1992.

What is more this 1992 Porsche 964 Turbo US Sunroof Coupe has a mere 40,187 miles on the odometer – not far from being a new car, in fact. Finished in its gorgeous factory Black Schwarz (700) exterior, paired with a matching black interior, creating a striking and timeless appearance, our car’s exclusivity makes it a highly sought-after collector’s item, embodying the essence of Porsche’s commitment to precision and performance.

This exquisite example of a 964 Turbo has benefited from meticulous long-term ownership and remains an excellent representation of Porsche’s air-cooled era.

Power comes from a turbocharged 3.3-liter flat-six engine, paired with a G50 five-speed manual transmission, delivering an engaging and authentic driving experience. Four-wheel disc brakes and power steering contribute to confident handling and control.

The exterior is highlighted by the iconic tea tray rear spoiler, optional sunroof, dual exhaust outlets, and classic Porsche styling cues. It rides on 17-inch alloy wheels fitted with Fullway tires, while Bosch headlights and fog lights complete the period-correct look. Inside, the cabin features power-adjustable front seats, power windows, air conditioning, a four-spoke steering wheel, door pockets, an analog clock, and an Alpine radio, offering comfort while preserving the car’s original character.

Included with the vehicle are an owner’s manual, a tool roll, a spare tire, and a clean CARFAX report. If you are searching for a German classic that blends heritage, performance, and timeless design, this Porsche 964 Turbo is an outstanding opportunity as well as mechanically sound.

The 1992 Porsche 964 Turbo features a 3.3L turbocharged flat-six engine. It employs a ‘Wide-body’ shell – an outside length of 168.3 inches and 69.9 inches in width – with flared fenders and a large fixed ‘Whale Tail’ or ‘Tea Tray’ spoiler.

Designed as a high-speed luxury supercar, it therefore included amenities like a sunroof, power seats, and sound deadening. Anxious not to conflict with U.S. safety regulations, Porsche ensured that the 964 Turbo US Sunroof Coupe was fully legal for the United States market – to this effect, it sold only in North America.

Mind you, if you could find somewhere in the United States where it was legal to drive at such a speed, the 964 Turbo US Sunroof Coupe had a top speed of 168 mph; a 0-60 mph figure of 4.8 seconds; and a ¼ miles drag time of 13.4 seconds. It doesn’t need more power; it doesn’t need more traction. It is just a great package: really engaging and mechanically honest. Every single mile you drive in it will make you happy.

From the raw turbo power to the unmistakable 1990s peak Porsche design, the 1992 Porsche 964 Turbo US Sunroof Coupe is one experience you won’t want to miss: you can’t beat it. In the future, someone you and I will never meet will be enjoying this car long after we are long gone and forgotten: it is timeless.

And remember: you should always be buying more cars.
