Summary

The Porsche 964 Turbo appealed to Porsche buyers with its wide fenders, but was probably too expensive for many. As an alternative, the wide body could also be ordered ex works for a normal 964. This option was called "Werks Turbo Look", which was not very cheap, which is why it was not ordered very often. But what is a WTL 964 like to drive? This driving report tells the story behind the 964 WTL and shows it in many photos.

Preview (beginning of the article)

With the presentation of the Porsche 930 Turbo, the factory created a new width, the classic 911 became significantly wider. Not only Turbo buyers liked this new look, so Porsche soon offered the wide fenders for normal 911s too. And has stuck with it to this day. Readers with an affinity for Porsche will already know that WTL stands for "Werks Turbo Look". Actually, the widening was originally only supposed to be called "Turbo Look" (TL), but similar to the performance upgrades (WLS = Werksleistungssteigerung), the ingredient "W" has become established in common Porsche language to denote changes directly ex works.
