The 964 Disaster? How Porsche Nearly Killed Its Greatest Icon

It was meant to be the future — but nearly became the fatal flaw.

In this cinematic deep-dive, we unravel the misunderstood genius of the Porsche 911 (964) — the car that almost broke tradition… and nearly broke Porsche.

From radical innovations to purist backlash, the 964 represented the brand’s most daring leap in decades. With ABS, power steering, all-wheel drive, and a modernised chassis, Porsche risked it all to evolve the 911.

But here’s the twist: They nearly got it wrong.

🛑 The 964 introduced features the die-hards didn’t ask for.
⚙️ It was 85% new — but looked almost identical to its predecessor.
🧨 Sales stumbled. Costs soared. And yet… it became a cult classic.

🎬 In this documentary, we explore:
• Why Porsche HAD to modernise the 911 — or face extinction
• What made the 964 so technically revolutionary (but culturally risky)
• The backlash from loyalists… and the redemption years later
• Why the 964 is now one of the most collectible air-cooled 911s on Earth

This is not just a story about a car — it's a story about legacy, identity, and risk.
