Porsche® 964 | Roadster "Californication"

Customer needs
Our discerning client envisioned a truly exceptional classic 911 Cabrio, meticulously rebuilt to combine timeless aesthetics with modern attributes. Their dream was a vehicle that not only stood out visually but also offered the practicality and comfort for daily driving. While aiming for a top-tier restoration, they also set a clear budget of under €110,000 (as of 2023), seeking a perfect balance of luxury, performance, and value.

Our proposal
To bring this vision to life, we proposed a 964 Cabrio Tiptronic as the ideal foundation. This model offers inherent modernity with features like ABS, advanced aerodynamics, and power steering, alongside various comfort and safety enhancements. Our plan involved transforming the rust-free and accident-free base into a stunning "factory turbo look" (WTL) widebody. The client's aesthetic preferences were paramount: a sleek solid black exterior, a luxurious bordeaux-colored leather interior with a distinctive bicolor optic, and iconic three-piece "Fuchs" design wheels to complete the classic yet contemporary appeal.
Advantages of the 964 Series for this Project
The 964 series presented several compelling advantages for this ambitious project. As a convertible, it offered an accessible yet modern platform. Its inherent design allowed for the authentic appearance of a classic 911, retaining the original body lines that our client cherished. Crucially, the 964 delivers an authentic classic driving experience, distinct from the more modern rear axle of the 993, appealing to purists. Furthermore, the series is renowned for its high-quality craftsmanship, ensuring a durable and exquisite final product.
Conclusion
Ultimately, this Porsche 964 project beautifully marries classic allure with modern functionality, proving that a true daily driver can indeed embody both heritage and contemporary performance. It stands as a testament to our ability to fulfill a client's desire for a vehicle that is both a showpiece and a reliable companion for everyday journeys.
