1990 Porsche 911 Carrera S re-engineered locally sells quickly

A re-engineered 1990 Porsche 911 developed in Australia has been purchased just days after going up for sale.

Drawing from the best-of-the-best of the 964-generation, this unique masterpiece likely didn’t come cheap for its lucky new owner – who purchased the car after it was listed for sale by Chrome Temple.

Re-developed by PR Technology – a specialised Porsche engineering workshop in Sydney – this 964 911 has undergone a complete revamp with inspiration from Singer Vehicle Design.

The vehicle is powered by a version of the 3.8-litre naturally-aspirated flat-six engine from later 911 models, with a custom dyno tune providing 279kW of power.

For instance, the crankshaft, inlet plenum and oil pump have been taken from the 997 GT3, while the valve springs and solid rocker arms are courtesy of the 993 RSR.

It is also finished with unique single billet cam covers and is linked to aftermarket components, such as Jenvey throttle bodies, lightweight Carrillo connecting rods and Mahle cylinder sleeves.

Meanwhile, the brand-new genuine six-speed manual transmission has been rebuilt with performance and durability in mind.

Following an extensive respray, the 911 has been wrapped in midnight blue metallic – with the underbody and under bonnet surfaces also receiving the same treatment.

To improve dynamics, over 60 kilograms of weight has been removed from the vehicle, along with the addition of a shock tower bracing in the rear and 964 RS-specific items, such as the rear bumper and windscreen.

Inside, the creamy-coloured leather is sourced from the same supplier as Rolls-Royce, and even the Queen’s private vehicle.

Adding to the opulence is headlining taken from a Mercedes-Benz S-Class, along with carpets from the Porsche 356 and a single-piece billet aluminium gear shifter engraved by jeweller John W. Thompson.
