The Porsche 911 3.2 carrera is one of the most sought-after 911s by collectors. Sporty and powerful, it presents a timeless line…at the crossroads between the first 911s of the 1960s and the more contemporary generations of the 964 and 993. The Porsche 911 Carrera 3.2 was produced from 1984 to 1989. If you’re interested in classic Porsche 911s, the 3.2-liter Carrera range is a good place to start. With over 70,000 units produced, Carrera 3.2 models are still plentiful and affordable. They combine the tradition of early cars with a touch of modernity and comfort. Carrera 3.2 models were offered in all three 911 body styles: coupé, convertible cabriolet and Targa, with its removable central roof panel. The SC was launched with a 180hp three-liter engine, which was quickly upgraded to 188hp when Porsche realized that the 911 would be around for the long haul. A 204hp version followed in August 1980. For the 1984 model year of the E-series 911 (production began in September 1983), Porsche introduced a new and improved model: the 911 Carrera. Renewing the Carrera name for the first time since 1977, it features a new, larger-displacement engine, the 3.2-liter horizontally opposed 6-cylinder. With its 231 hp, the Carrera meets the demand for greater performance and becomes the most powerful 911 on the market. The six-cylinder boxer engine now has a displacement of 3,164 cm³ thanks to a 4 mm larger bore, the 3.3 Turbo crankshaft and a compression ratio of 10.3:1 in the 930/20 engine. In the USA, Canada and Japan, the Carrera is offered with the lower-compression 930/21 engine, offering 9.5:1. As a result, the 930/20 engine developed 231 hp at 5,900 rpm while delivering 284 Nm of torque at 4,800 rpm, while the 930/21 had to make do with 207 hp and 265 Nm. According to Porsche, 80% of the engine has been completely redeveloped. Digital engine electronics (DEE) make their debut. Its main advantages are better fuel consumption, cleaner combustion and therefore maximum power. The system operates with a common control unit in which all motor operating states are programmed. The correct injection quantity and ignition point are assigned to each engine speed, throttle position and temperature. Fuel cut-off on overshoot, i.e. no fuel was consumed when the engine was over-revving, and electronic control of idle speed when auxiliary components were activated were useful additions provided by the engine’s digital electronics. The knock control system ensures “healthy” engine operating conditions. The DEE system is combined with different injection systems, depending on the engine. Other significant improvements included more reliable oil-pressure fed timing chain tensioners, thicker brake discs, larger rear caliper pistons, a larger brake booster and a brake pressure limiting valve that reduced the tendency of the front wheels to lock up before the rear wheels. The heating system has also been slightly upgraded. Porsche’s 915-type five-speed manual gearbox, in use since 1972 and known for its serrated gear play and the absence of a selector centering spring, is retained on the Carrera. Externally, the Carrera is almost indistinguishable from the SC, the only clue being the fog lights integrated into the front apron. Only cosmetic changes were made during the Carrera’s production run, with a redesigned dashboard featuring larger air conditioning vents appearing in 1986. The Carrera was available in Coupé, Targa and Cabriolet body styles from 1984 to 1989. The interior has also been upgraded, including the center console and heating controls, which are taken from the 930 model. The dashboard, seats and door panels are identical to those of the SC. Standard equipment included high-back half-leather seats and power windows. This Porsche 911 3.2L is a 1986 European G version equipped with the 915 gearbox, developing 231 hp. Imported from Canada in 2017, it is in very good original condition and equipped with the right options (see certificate below):

• Airco (renovated with a new compressor in 2022)
• Electrically heated sports seats
• Self-locking bridge
• Central locking
• …

  Very well cared for, with extensive documentation, she has been very well looked after since her return to Belgium. She drives really well!
