A one-of-a-kind 1992 Porsche 964 Carrera 2 backdate, meticulously restored and modified by Olsen Motorsports, has surfaced for auction, offering enthusiasts the chance to own a bespoke blend of classic Porsche styling and modern performance. Finished in an eye-catching metallic purple, this air-cooled masterpiece boasts a 4.0-liter flat-six engine, carbon fiber bodywork, and high-end luxury features.
Backdating—a practice where modern Porsches are modified to resemble earlier classic models—has become a sought-after trend, and this 964 Carrera 2 is a prime example. Completed in 2017, the car received a carbon fiber long-hood nose, roof, fender flares, and bumpers, shaving the roof rails for a sleek, classic 911 silhouette. The custom RS Spyder-style external oil filler port on the right rear fender adds a unique motorsport touch.
Additional modernized vintage elements include:
9Eleven Raven S LED headlights with halo DRLs
Dual exhaust pipes
Grey Porsche script side stripes
Polished door handles and window surrounds
17-inch Fuchs-style wheels wrapped in new Michelin Pilot Sport tires (November 2024)
The entire exterior is protected by clear paint protection film, ensuring its flawless finish remains pristine.
Inside, the dark grey leather and Alcantara cabin exudes luxury with new power-adjustable Recaro sport seats and matching door panels. Other standout features include:
Carbon fiber trim pieces, MOMO steering wheel, and shift knob
Backdated VDO instrument dials
Electric air conditioning
Keyless entry system
Porsche Classic Communication Management (PCCM) stereo with JL Audio amplifier, concealed subwoofer, and Hertz speakers
The attention to detail extends to the driver-focused Rennline aluminum pedal covers, handbrake, and door handles, creating a perfect balance of modern comfort and vintage aesthetic.
Under the hood, the air-cooled M64 flat-six has been re-engineered to a 4.0-liter displacement, producing ferocious performance while retaining Porsche's legendary naturally aspirated character. Built by Olsen Motorsports, the engine includes:
11.5:1 compression ratio
CP thermal-coated pistons & Nikasil-coated cylinders
Euro RS-style camshafts
51mm Jenvy individual throttle bodies
MoTeC M-130 ECU
Power is sent through a rebuilt 5-speed G50 manual transaxle, featuring Bill Rader Motorsports close-ratio gears and a limited-slip differential, ensuring maximum driver engagement. Handling is further enhanced with:
JRZ RS One coilovers
BBI billet uprights & Elephant Racing suspension links
Brembo slotted disc brakes for ultimate stopping power
With only 2,900 miles shown since its transformation, this 1992 Porsche 964 Carrera 2 backdate represents a rare opportunity to own a meticulously crafted restomod. Combining the soul of a classic 911 with modernized performance and luxury, this bespoke build is ready for the road or the concours lawn.
