The Porsche 911 (964) Turbo 3.6, produced only for the 1993–1994 model years, represents one of the rarest and most coveted air‑cooled Turbos ever built. Porsche replaced the earlier 3.3-litre unit with the new 3.6‑litre M64/50 engine, paired with a KKK K27 turbocharger and delivering 360 hp at 5,500 rpm—a substantial leap in both power and drivability. With just around 1,437–1,500 units produced, depending on source, the model’s scarcity alone elevates its desirability. Its performance figures—0–60 mph in about 4.7 seconds and a top speed of 174 mph—made it one of the most formidable road cars of its era.
Visually, the Turbo 3.6 is distinguished by its wide stance, signature “cannon barrel” fenders, and iconic 18-inch Speedline three‑piece wheels, which have become collector items in their own right. It also holds a special place in pop culture thanks to its appearance in Bad Boys, which helped cement its “Bad Boy” mystique. As the final rear‑wheel‑drive Turbo before Porsche transitioned to AWD with the 993, the 964 Turbo 3.6 stands as a bridge between the raw, analog 930 era and the more modern, refined Turbo generations that followed. Today, it remains one of the most sought‑after 911 Turbos, both for its rarity and its unmistakable blend of aggression, elegance, and historical significance
As for the model, this is another outstanding release from Norev. The model comes with solid details, full access, and a price tag under $140 CND. There is no wonder Norev took DiecastSociety.com 2025 Model of the Year. These guys combine execution and value no better than anyone at the moment.
The exterior wears raw Oak Green Metallic, a colour that manages to be both subtle and unmistakably distinctive. It’s a refreshing break from the usual palette. If there’s one element that doesn’t quite hit the mark for me—and this is purely personal—it’s the chrome wheels. They’re not my preferred look, though they are undeniably period‑correct.
Inside, Norev earns high marks once again. The use of interior flocking immediately sets the tone, capturing the era with surprising authenticity. Detailing throughout the cabin punches well above the model’s price point; the photos speak for themselves.
Even the undercarriage receives thoughtful attention, with the motor and exhaust properly represented. I won’t spoil what’s coming next, but this level of underside detail is something noticeably absent from the latest batch of 992.1 models currently in the queue. Until then, enjoy the photos.
