Character
M64
"993 Carrera/Turbo. Last air-cooled 911. No IMS (that's M96+). Turbo version hugely reliable. NA version: chain tensioner. Cam chain guide. Simple by Porsche standards. Iconic."
MA3
"992 GT3/GT3 RS. 9,000 rpm redline. Derived from RSR race engine. No IMS. No bore scoring. Individual throttle bodies. Most exotic production flat-6 ever. Track-ready but street reliable."
