When launched in 1974, in post-oil-crisis Europe, it was a bold and courageous statement of defiance about the future that delighted the automotive industry and Porsche’s customers alike.

The Turbo’s pedigree and its character were faultless. The road car’s origins can be traced back to a prototype 911 study shown at the 1973 Paris Salon. In October 1974 the new production model was unveiled, instantly given the status of company flagship and demonstrating new levels of 911 luxury and technology.

And this legacy would be transmuted onto our roads for another eighteen years, with subtle shifts all along the way.

1991 saw plenty of such upgrading tweaks, as you will find on the extremely collectible 1991 Porsche 964 Turbo Sunroof Coupe we have right now at Beverly Hills Car Club.

This magnificent piece of motoring art is featured in its factory color Black Schwarz (700) exterior color, complemented with a Cashmere Beige interior. This vehicle is a true testament to Porsche’s timeless design and engineering excellence, making it a coveted classic among automotive enthusiasts.

The car comes equipped with a G50 5-speed manual transmission, turbo-charged 3.3-Liter flat-six engine, four-wheel disc brakes, power steering, dual exhaust outlet, rear spoiler, sunroof, 4-spoke steering wheel, Bosch branded headlights, Bosch branded fog lights, calipers with Porsche literature, 17-inch turbo-style wheels, and an air compressor. Convenience features include air conditioning, power-adjustable front seats, power-operated windows, dual-side rearview mirrors, analog clock, and an Alpine radio.

All the refinements introduced on the Carrera 4 and Carrera 2 were given to the 1991 model year Turbo, including the new center console and underdash glove compartment.

The 1991 model year Turbo was still 3.3 liters, but offered 320-brake horsepower at 5,750 rpm and a stunning 450 Nm of torque at 4,500 rpm. It featured a revised resonant air intake system with passages designed for minimum flow loss as well as being matched to a new exhaust.

The remapped Bosch Motronic system resulted in more power, better fuel consumption, and improved emissions. The intercooler was enlarged by a claimed 50 percent in terms of air volume, and there was a bigger turbocharger with a new impeller for low-speed response and 0.7 bar maximum boost. All markets had all-metal (and very compact) three-way closed-loop catalytic converters, the converter and silencer fitted to the wastegate forming the left-side exhaust outlet.

The main silencer had increased volume and was now positioned longitudinally on the right-hand side of the engine, with its own outlet on the left. New for the Turbo were hydro-bushings for the engine mountings to reduce internal vibration, and cabin noise was also reduced by a dual mass flywheel.

The new 1991 model with the Carrera 4 bodyshell carried over the previous variant’s five-speed gearbox, but with revised ratio and the more precise gear shift mechanism seen on the Carrera 2. It also used the double-mass ZMS flywheel introduced on the Carrera 4 and 2 the same year, The limited slip differential became standard on the new 1991 model and was the same type as used on the Carrera 2 RS, namely with as little as 20 percent locking factor under acceleration and up to 100 percent lock-up on over-run.

For the 1991 model year, the Turbo received the onboard computer given to the Tiptronic the previous year.

The 1991 model steering was servo-assisted and higher-geared. The suspension was also heavily revised, adopting a coil spring over damper layout with MacPherson struts at the front and semi-trailing arms at the rear. The rear swingarms had toe angle correction in movement to improve stability in a straight line or when changing direction rapidly, particularly when the throttle was closed in a corner.

ABS anti-lock braking was introduced on the 1991 model Turbo with the adoption of the chassis derived from the Carrera 4. Brake disc diameter changed on the 1991 models to 322 millimeters (12.68 inches) and 299 millimeters (11.77 inches) rear.

The 1991 model Turbo used 17-inch Cup Design wheels with 7J front and 9J rear rims, tire sizes being 205/50ZR and 255/45ZR. Unusually the potential buyer of the 1991 Turbo had three choices for tires: first Bridgestone and then Pirelli and Yokohama were approved for use.

Make no bones about it: the 1991 Porsche 964 Turbo Sunroof Coupe is an utterly sensational car.
