Jekyll & Hyde | Porsche 964 RS: Air-Cooled and Sinister

[@craigyirush3492]

I see Jethro and I click and watch! And, yes, save the 964s!

[@hemmingsmotornews]

We do that same.

[@morganbrown8950]

The 964 deserves to be loved in it's own right. My favourite 911.

[@hemmingsmotornews]

We could never understand why they were looked over for so long.

[@hodad200]

Yes! Jethro is the jam! So happy to see him back in LA at 5001!

[@hemmingsmotornews]

Yup, so are we!

[@OliverHagger]

Great vid - agree that the 964 RS is the sweetest of 911s

[@hemmingsmotornews]

It's truly a fabulous car!

[@dimprabowo]

Jethro here? Finally able to see one of the best car journalist again

[@hemmingsmotornews]

Yup - Jethro is here! And we agree, he's one of the best!

I had a 964 C2, and was surprised to discover that a lot of the RS and Cup parts were still available from Porsche. You can build a pretty sweet RS tribute car with factory parts, mine even had the alloy bonnet.

[@paulorangel8404]

I Love the 993, The C2S, . Best Looking 911 ever...but...The 964 and specially the 964 Werks Turbo Look Cabrio (any of the 964) are the best souding 911 ever!

[@gnws6]

Great video. Beautiful cars. I always loved that era, and earlier, versions of the 911. More raw, and pure, than the newer stuff.

[@hemmingsmotornews]

Glad you enjoyed the video! Which generation of the 911 is your favorite?

[@MR0B0T0]

Great to see Jethro behind a wheel of an epic car.

[@hemmingsmotornews]

It's definitely where he belongs

[@Joakim-j7h]

My very dream car.

[@pistonhead911]

It is greatest Porsche I have the honour of owning and driving. It is visceral driving experience and I would recommend to anyone who really wants to understand the Porsche driving experience. It is simply sublime and I also own a 992 GT3 RS. Nice review Jethro!

[@hemmingsmotornews]

Favorite differences between the 2?!

[@SterlingMess]

Great stuff, Jethro. Drop me a line if anyone needs a suitable UK donor, a 1992 964 C2 manual in Midnight Blue. You can enjoy it as an OEM+ while you wait for your Workshop 5001 build slot!

[@porscheguy09]

I always liked the 964. For me growing up in the 1980s and 1990s it was the first modern 911 and was a better car than the outdated G model. I’d love a nice clean 964.

[@hemmingsmotornews]

They are great cars!

[@exc911ence_channel]

It wasn't that long ago that you couldn't give away a "mid-year" (74-77) 911 either... I miss those days.

[@craigyirush3492]

Same time I bought a high mileage but good condition 3.2 Carrera for $12k!

[@morganbrown8950]

Almost bought a '76 car for £5k

[@pipimontana]

1:58 "wrong". The Porsche 964 Carrera RS N/GT was the road version.

[@Laguna2013]

not sure I understand the point @12:33

[@gavinsullivan9015]

Has Dickie Meaden still got his?

[@flat6enthusiast619]

The problem with backdating is that they ruin a fantastic generation of 911s which should be loved and preserved as it is (the chassis and the Mezger 3.6L of the 964 are absolutely epic). Plus, the bad tuners consider that the 964 generation is not good enough to stay aesthetically untouched, it is very sad because they are really beautiful (the perfect blend between vintage and modernity). The 964 is the last to be 100% hand built. Singer and other idiot tuners destroy them, creating false 60s and 70s 911s for wannabe dumb fake rich enthusiasts. If you love the 964 as it is (you are an authentic petrolhead and a real Porsche lover then, congrats!), there is also a sweet company based in Germany called Manufaktur 964. They preserve them properly and do a perfect job.

[@allensaunders449]

They don't ruin anything they enhance they make them better. If they were so great to begin with people with wouldn't want to modify them . This is a pure fantasy video
