Introduced as an entirely new model for 1964, it didn't take long for the 911 to become the Porsche. The Carrera 3.2 version, introduced twenty years later, was a directly-evolved successor to that original car.
Displacement of the rear-mounted SOHC air-cooled flat six was bumped to... as one might surmise from the name ...3164cc. Fitted with Bosch LE-Jetronic injection, the output of the swole motor rose to 200 SAE net horsepower in North American trim.
This was enough to propel a 911 Cabrio to sixty in 5.7 seconds when Road & Track tested one in their January 1986 issue. It managed to zip through the quarter mile in 14.3 seconds at 97mph and circled a skidpad at 0.80g. Price as tested was $41,301, which comes to about $122,400 when adjusted for inflation.
