Bertone Karisma: A Forgotten Rear-Engine Porsche Sedan Concept
A Gullwing four-seater sports sedan from 1990s, here is a Porsche that most people have probably never heard of
When you think of Porsche sedans today, the Panamera and Taycan immediately come to mind. These cars are stunning examples of how Porsche blends sports car DNA with four-door practicality. But what if I told you Porsche experimented with a rear-engine sedan long before these models became household names? That’s where the Bertone Karisma concept comes in. Now I’ll admit, hearing the name Carrozzeria Bertone usually brings up images of exotic wedge-shaped masterpieces like the V12-powered Lamborghini Miura, and a personal favourite of mine the Lancia Stratos. The idea of Bertone collaborating with Porsche, a brand known for precision and understated design, sounded almost too good to be true. But it did happen, and the result as you can see from these images was nothing short of spectacular.
$375,000 For A 964 Turbo? Is The Air-Cooled Hype Getting Out Of Hand?
Despite some minor setbacks, find out why this 964 Turbo 3.6 was able to fetch big money on Bring-A-Trailer
Ah, the 964 Turbo 3.6. There’s something about the 964 that appeals to enthusiasts of the older, more "raw" Porsche 911s. It’s not as outlandishly beloved as the 930 Turbo, nor is it as “driver-focused” as the later 993, but it strikes a very interesting balance. And if you’ve been paying attention, you’ll know that its price has been climbing at an uncomfortable pace. For those who didn’t, or for those who tried to argue that these cars weren’t worth much, the hammer came down at $375,000 for a 1994 Porsche 911 Turbo 3.6 sold on Bringatrailer.
