Chris Harris introduces Jenson Button's Porsche 964 Turbo 3.6, now live for bids on Collecting Cars!
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
The Porsche 911 Turbo 3.6 is a rare modern classic supercar, and even more special among those are cars fitted with the hallowed ‘X88’ power package. You can therefore imagine the buzz among our team in bringing to market not only one of these remarkable performance cars, but the example belonging to 2009 Formula One World Champion, Jenson Button.
Jenson’s Porsche 964 Turbo 3.6 was originally a special order for the Sultan of Brunei, equipped at the factory with the ‘X88’ power package that boosts output to 380bhp. It is the only X88 package car painted in the eye-catching Horizon Blue colour, while the interior is trimmed in Marine Blue leather.
The interior specification includes electrically adjustable comfort seats, a matching leather-trimmed airbag steering wheel, air conditioning, and sliding sunroof. The car wears the correct set of polished 18-inch split-rim Speedline alloy wheels, and remains original and unmodified.
Fresh from a full service at classic car specialist Tudor & Black, this Porsche 964 Turbo 3.6 ‘X88’ is also covered by a clean current MOT certificate, and is running and driving superbly.
Bidders can see the car on the move in this video that introduces this rare 911 Turbo, where @ChrisHarrisonCars gets behind the wheel to deliver his verdict on this uniquely finished 964-generation car.
While any Porsche 964 Turbo 3.6 is a sought-after collector car, this ‘X88’ power package-equipped supercar is an especially rare machine, and is a true one-off in the stunning hue of Horizon Blue Metallic. The auction is expected to attract strong interest from Porsche collectors around the world, and with the car offered at ‘No Reserve’ it will be selling to the highest bidder.

Biggest mistake I ever made, selling my Turbo 3.6, which I bought from new with the factory-fitted sports exhaust. Magic on overrun. Tracked it and ragged it all over Europe. Just brilliant.

My late father had an early silver 4 speed Turbo with RUF alloys. Absolutely gorgeous. You didn't need brakes you just dropped a gear and the thing would drop out of warp speed. Incredible torque. He then bought a Turbo 2 but that was a different car entirely.
I remember watching old Top Gear when this came out and Tiff took it round Brooklands and got it airborne at one point. That car was mint green from memory
This 964 in this blue is absolutely gorgeous.
Skewed driving position, turbo lag, quirky interior... Any new car would have gotten murdered for that, let alone a Porsche. But all these things don't matter when the car gets to a certain age, isn't it? Infact it becomes full of character and endearing! :) Love it!

I owned the US 1991 911 965 Turbo with tasteful performance mods. It was truly an exciting car to drive, reliable-(except for the power valve and intercooler o-ring) and rock solid. His description is spot on. This is the 3.6 version, even more fun.

The 965 is actually a prototype V8 911.
Brings back memories of watching Tiff Needell's 964 turbo review when I was a kid.
My all time favourite, tiff needle did a fantastic review when it first came out, think it was an old topgear where he took it up to about 160mph, great shape
Always loved the 3.6 Turbo's - 2 wheel drive with those beautiful 3 piece wheels... I love the color - had always loved it on early split window vettes and the early FIA 289 Cobra's, never considered the color on a 964 but it is gorgeous! Only thing differnet I would have on the spec were oxblood guts with the same light metallic blue paint... ooooo la la!
I had a 964 C4 in Guards red. I used it every day, never rode the clutch because the dealer said so and loved it to the moon and back. The offset driving position takes a bit of getting used to but loved every day I had it.
Chris you just make my day. Every time I watch your reviews I am both entertained and educated. I feel like I’m driving. And I love any 964. Stupidly I owned 2 964 Carrera 4. Stupid? Yeah, I sold each one and regretted the next day. Thank you Chris.

Had the pleasure of seeing you drive back and forth past me as I was out cycling on my bike that day, if you ever feel the need to take a spin in a nice Evo 2 integrale, just let me know..
giving that 964 Turbo the beans on a run to Le Mans or Cannes would be motoring heaven. Someone's going to be a very lucky enthusiast.

Hey Chris ! Amazing content ! You're passion is so visible. Thanks for doing this
Mr Harris does like those roads around Raglan and Usk. I recognised the village hall just outside Chainbrdge. Awesome looking car.
Being 57, I’ve been blessed to drive those when they were new. Unfortunately never had the money to buy a Porsche. ’When you dream, you are alive’ 😏
I see Chris Harris in the title and thumbnail I click instantly I then see a 964 Turbo in the video and I watch to the end definitely one of the best looking 911's ever made.
Another awesome auto video review - as always by CH. Thanks, dude.
Chris is the best, cheers from New York!
This is sooo gorgeous. Thanks for the video. I hate lag, by the way. The way it sounds is amazing.
964 and 996 for me. Such amazing cars to drive.
favorite color of Porsche. i wonder if the engine open lever was moved to the driver side door jam? awesome car!
Thank You for all of your videos that you did. I am enjoying all of them
Absolutely perfect bit of machinery & looks amazing.👍🏆🥇
Anybody know how many horizon blue rhd 3.6 turbos were made ?
We need a mini review of everything Chris does a video on, on collecting cars.
I couldn't agree more. I love these things. Give it the S package with the rear air intakes and I get weak in the knees.
Thank you for a truly great Chris Harris drives throwback
One my all time favs..
Ah, my dad had an Austin Princess in that colour (sort of)…Astral Blue they called it at the time. Absolutely loved it. There was a Jenson Interceptor in the next street that seemed to be the same colour too 😍😂
Had a 964 speedster back in 2002. Speed yellow. rs interior. Drove it round London in 2003 whilst working. Many a happy time.
Love Porsche cars. any model would do me , just to own one is a dream , nice review Chril, love your stuff
That G4TBO plate was originally on my car (1993 964 Turbo 3.3). The previous owner of my car then imported this Brunei car and changed the plate over. Small world :-)
I can listen to Chris talking cars all day. It’s like an angel quoting poetry 😃
Wow amazing spec, this is gonna sell for big money!!
I’d rather a NA than the turbo. It’s gonna fetch a huge sum regardless. From an exterior aesthetic, probably my favorite 911
And that blue looks beautiful with it 😍😍😍😍😍
Just a joy to watch. Thank you Chris Harris.
This man can do no motoring wrong. A joy to watch.

Horizon blue, best color since Irish Green and Slate Grey. (riviera blue is also cool tbh)
I had a R5 GT turbo from new back in the day with a larger turbo & charge cooler, not in the same league as the Porsche but it was a simple light car with huge turbo lag and alot of fun.
Give me a quirky old school 911 any day of the week, superb!
The clear signal lenses....subtle details that compliment the cars color

The 964 is my all-time favorite Porsche road car.
Dream would be Button and Harris showing us what they can do on track. Maybe Button in his car and Chris in a A/C Cobra😉
Nice in Horizon Blue. Lovely 964 colour
Brilliant as usual Chris- and the featured car... not half bad either.
Because of my age, I have a bias. The 964 was the 911 of my late teens and early 20s. As such, I find it very beautiful.
Such a good looking car and a fantastic colour
Now where's my lottery ticket? Chris will you please start the "Harris on Cars" series again? "Lag is fun!" THIS!!!! "Modern cars are too shouty" THIS THIS!!!
That BB Porsche got me into Porsches. Stunning.
Want it. Want it badly.
Permit me a chuckle for the modern vehicle. I’m fortunate enough to have an AMG GLA45 which damn near hits the spot on similar power (375hp). I’ve had classic bikes and know the sheer wallet emptying delight of owning “old stuff”. This I’m sure would lead you down a very similar path. The Porsche looks great, can’t carry the detritus of modern life and may well have to be ground anchored to your air conditioned garage to keep the “Bad Boys” at bay. I’ll keep the shopping trolley rocket and admire Chris’s wonderful commentary for a vehicle I have no wish to own. But maybe that Citroen Mehari for the summer, now there’s a thought…..
I'm a 993 guy at heart, but the the 964 is iconic. And.... bad boys is the movie that made me fall in love with Porsche
Really nice Porche 964...very unique color too...Horizon Blue...I like this Turbo 964 Porsche.
The 964 and the 997.1 are in my opinion the best looking 911s of all time!
Another Phenomenal Video And Super Car Chris All The Best.
Beautiful car!!
That's my 964 thank you!
I enjoy car noise, the modest speed is perfect to me for that car, one thing I definitely agree is the turbo lag...I would love that feel once it kicks in.
Collecting Cars listened from the last Porsche video about Harris not driving it, well done for listening to the comments!
