That is the last car on earth I would ever think of flat towing. I doubt Porsche even has any technical information on this.
Given how fussy the C4 system is and how much it costs to repair why would you risk flat towing it.
Go straight to a trailer (skip past dolly or flat towing). Preferably a fully enclosed trailer.

Never flat towed a 964, but I have flat towed a 911SC a few thousand miles. No issues (despite much hand wringing about it), you just have to leave the key in the ignition so that the front wheels are unlocked.
Of course, I'm assuming that you're talking about towing a rear wheel drive C2... No way you can flat tow a C4.

I’m pretty sure you can accomplish this with out any damage but be sure it’s in nuetral or out of gear and pretty certain the steering would be locked, as long as this is a 964
on the 993:the drive block alarm might create a hurdle as in locked drive mechism but not that certain on that note…Bert
