The Porsche 964 Models Evolved
The Carrera 2 and 4 were both coupes, while the Cabriolet had a retractable roof and the Targa had a removable roof. The 964 Targa was the last generation of 911 to have a removable roof; it was eventually replaced with a sliding glass roof system, starting in the 993 models several years later.
The 964 had a new engine with a flat 6 displacement of 3.6 liters. Suspension system was also revised to sport shock absorbers and torsion bars with oil springs. The new 964 models also had standard for the first time; a power steering and an ABS braking system.
Other improvements to the 964 were the bumpers and fog lamps, as these were now merged into the car, thus facilitating better aerodynamic. The vehicle also now brandished an electric rear spoiler that rose whenever the vehicle exceeded 50 mile per hour, and lowered flush down with the rear engine lid at lower speeds or when the car stops.

The Porsche 964 Turbo
The 964 Turbo was introduced in March, 1990, as a successor to the renowned 930. The new Turbo retained the 3.3 liter engine from the 930, with a few minor tweaks here and there. The result was a smoother engine, which was less prone to turbo lag, thus producing more power. An approximate total of 3,660 Turbos were made.
1992 saw the introduction of the 3.3 liter Turbo S, this model spits out 381 PS (280 kW; 376 hp). The interior design and features also contributed to the speed of the Turbo S, thus making it one of the fastest cars on the road at the time. The car was definitely designed to perform with its lowered suspension. Approximately 80 cars were produced, for the 1992 production year and then Porsche ceased production of the 964 Turbo S all together.
