Other improvements to the Porsche 964 were the bumpers and fog lamps, as these were now merged into the car, thus facilitating better aerodynamic. Porsche 964 also now brandished an electric rear spoiler that rose whenever the vehicle exceeded fifty miles per hour, and lowered flush down with the rear engine lid at lower speeds or when the car stops.



Porsche 964 was introduced in March 1990, as a successor to the renowned 930. The new Turbo retained the 3.3 liter engine from the 930, with a few minor tweaks here and there. The result was a smoother engine, which was less prone to turbo lag, thus producing more power. An approximate total of 3660 Turbos were made.
