• Among the rarest air-cooled 911 Turbos, with fewer than 1,500 built

• Delivered new to Germany in European specification; exported to the UK in 2001

• Powered by its matching-numbers 3.6-litre turbocharged engine, factory-rated at 360 horsepower

While Porsche answered enthusiasts’ calls to turbocharge its 964-generation 911 in 1990—once more utilising the 3.3-litre engine of the previous generation—some drivers were left wanting more. In 1993 the Stuttgart marque responded with the 3.6-litre Turbo, equipped with a new flat-six engine based on the unit fitted to the 911 Carrera 4. Producing 360 brake horsepower, the new model had larger 18-inch wheels, lower suspension, a front anti-roll bar, and a more aggressive look. Due to the impending arrival of the next-generation type-993, the 3.6-litre turbocharged variant of the 964 was available for just one year from 1993 to 1994, resulting in a relatively low production run comprising fewer than 1,500 examples.

The example offered here was delivered new to Germany on 15 June 1993. The 911 was finished in the Porsche special order colour of Oak Green Metallic over Sherwood Green carpets complemented by a green interior. It is believed to be one of only three type-964s built to this colour configuration. The car was later sold to the United Kingdom and re-registered in March 2001. After a year with its first UK owner, the Porsche was acquired by the consigning owner, who has kept the car since. Displaying 116,347 kilometres on its odometer at the time of cataloguing, the 911 retains its matching-numbers engine and is offered with its Porsche books, manuals, and tool roll.
