1989-1998 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 Pictures and Specifications

Subtle but noticeable body alterations marked 1989's new Porsche 911 Carrera 4, the first of the heavily reengineered "964 series" 911s planned for the 1990s. Offered in the usual three body styles, the C4 could hit 60 mph in well under 6 seconds. Handling was the most surefooted in 911 history, while cornering grip, as one magazine enthused, was "incredible."

The Porsche 911 Carrera 4 featured a modernized suspension and 3.6-liter engine.

Five-speed manual was mandatory on the Porsche 911 Carrera 4.

The "4" denoted 4-wheel drive, a simplified version of the 959 system.
