Porsche 911 Type 964 (Top Model)

Since 1963, the Porsche 911 has been a true automotive icon, maintaining its success and reputation. In the 1980s, Porsche debated whether to replace or modernize the 911. The decision to modernize prevailed. Introduced in 1988 and produced until 1993, the "new" 911, internally called Type 964, offered a rich and varied range of models.
This period also coincided with one of the most challenging phases for the company, even questioning its independence.

The book explores the 964 generation in detail, from the economic context and design studies to civilian and competition models, while highlighting Porsche's history and the legendary 959 supercar, which greatly influenced the Type 964 project.
Illustrated with numerous mostly unpublished photos, it appeals to both 911 enthusiasts and readers wishing to explore the fascinating world of Porsche.
