It featured significant
styling revisions over previous versions of the Carrera, most
prominently the more integrated bumpers (fenders), although it
was still obviously a "911". It was the first generation of
Carrera to be offered with Porsche's "Tiptronic" automatic
transmission (as an option) as well as the first generation to
be offered with all wheel drive.

The first 964s available
in 1989 were AWD equipped "Carrera 4" models, Porsche added
the rear wheel drive Carrera 2 variant to the range in 1990.
Both variants were available as a coupe, Targa or
Cabriolet.

The 964 Carrera was the
last generation sold with the traditional "pop top" Targa
roof. Later evolutions of the Targa, starting with the 993
generation, replaced that setup with a complex glass-roof
"greenhouse" system.

A new
naturally-aspirated engine called the M64 was used for 964
models, which displaced 3.6 litres and produced 250 bhp (184
kW) @ 6100 rpm.
