The chief designer during this time was Hans Mezger, who played a central role in developing the air-cooled engines.During its time, the Porsche 911 (964) offered various engine options. The Carrera 2 and Carrera 4, for example, were equipped with a 3.6-liter air-cooled six-cylinder boxer engine producing 250 horsepower.
