The Porsche 964 Turbo was launched exclusively with rear-wheel drive. In general, many components were available for the Porsche 964, such as power steering and ABS. The 964 Turbo's engine power output of 235 kW (320 hp) to 265 kW (360 hp) provided even better performance. Porsche continued to use the proven six-cylinder boxer engine with dry sump lubrication, which was equipped with a larger turbocharger and the improved K-Jetronic with integrated lambda control developed by Bosch.

More than just a Porsche with turbo.
