A development of the Carrera 3.0, but the engine developed less power so that it would suit all markets. A Sport option gave front and rear spoilers, 16-inch Fuchs wheels, sports seats and dampers. COMPRESSION RATIO: 8.5:1/8.6:1/9.8:1 MAX POWER: 180/188/204bhp at 5500rpm (US cars remained at 180 MAX TORQUE: BRAKES: Front: 287mm discs; rear: 295mm discs WHEELS & TYRES: Front: 15x6J, 185/70VR.

911 Carrera 2 Speedster (964)Has won 37.8% of 4025 battles YEAR: 1993-1994 STARS: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This combined the 964 bodyshell with the hood and windscreen of the Carrera 3.2 Speedster plus RS interior. It is thought that Porsche planned to build around 3000 Speedsters, but only 936 were made, many in bright colours such as yellow or red, with colour-coded wheels. COMPRESSION RATIO: 10.3:1 MAX POWER: 250bhp at 6100rpm MAX TORQUE: 310Nm at 4800rpm BRAKES: Front: 298mm discs; rear: 299mm discs WHEELS & TYRES: Front: 16x6J, 205/55ZR16.

911S (C & D series)Has won 37.4% of 4135 battles YEAR: 1969-1971 STARS: ![]() ![]() ![]() An upgrade in engine size from 1991cc to 2195 gave the 911S a useful 10bhp hike in power to 180bhp. Unlike the 911E, though, the S didn’t gain such an improvement in low-down power and torque, so you had to keep the revs up to get the full benefit of the extra horsepower. COMPRESSION RATIO: 9.8:1 MAX POWER: 180bhp at 6500rpm MAX TORQUE: 199Nm at 5200rpm BRAKES: Front: 282mm discs; rear: 290mm discs WHEELS & TYRES: Front & rear: 15x6J, 185HR

This engine, with minor changes, continued to power the 911 until 1989. COMPRESSION RATIO: 8.5:1 MAX POWER: 200bhp at 6000rpm MAX TORQUE: 255Nm at 4200rpm BRAKES: Front: 282mm discs; rear: 290mm discs WHEELS & TYRES: Rear: 15x7J, 215VR

It had the same body changes as the base model and 911S came as standard with 15-inch ATS ‘cookie cutter’ wheels. COMPRESSION RATIO: 8.5:1 MAX POWER: 175bhp at 5800rpm MAX TORQUE: 235Nm at 4000rpm BRAKES: Front: 282mm discs; rear: 290mm discs WHEELS & TYRES: Front: 15x6J, 185VR. Rear: 15x6J, 185VR
