About this car

The 1996 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 delivers the signature rear-engine balance and performance expected from the model in a refined all-wheel-drive package. This example has covered 41,931 miles and is powered by a 6-cylinder engine paired with a manual transmission and computer-controlled all-wheel drive. The Carrera 4 features the Varioram intake system along with a limited-slip differential and automatic brake differential for enhanced traction and handling.

Its welded unitized body rides on independent MacPherson strut front suspension and independent rear suspension with aluminum components, coil springs, and stabilizer bars. Power-assisted rack-and-pinion steering and ventilated disc brakes with ABS provide confident control, while the 19.4-gallon fuel tank supports extended drives. Exterior highlights include an electric sunroof, speed-dependent rear spoiler, halogen headlights with high-pressure washers, integrated fog lights, and electrically adjustable heated mirrors.

Inside, the 2+2 cabin offers cloth reclining bucket seats with electric height adjustment, a leather-covered steering wheel, and backlit analog instrumentation including tachometer and oil gauges. Power windows, cruise control, air conditioning with auto temperature control, and an AM/FM stereo cassette radio with six speakers complete the driver-focused environment, all protected by dual airbags and three-point seatbelts.

Powertrain
Combustion

The Porsche 911 Carrera G-Series, produced between 1974 and 1989, represents a significant evolution of the iconic 911 lineup. Over its 15-year production run, approximately 196,000 units were manufactured across various trims, including the Carrera, making it one of the longest-running generations of the 911. The G-Series introduced key updates like impact bumpers to meet U.S. safety regulations and galvanized steel bodies for improved corrosion resistance, enhancing longevity—a critical factor for collectors.

Engine options varied, with the Carrera models typically featuring air-cooled flat-six engines ranging from 2.7 to 3.2 liters, producing between 175 and 231 horsepower depending on the year and market. Performance highlights include the 1984-1989 Carrera 3.2, which achieved 0-60 mph in around 5.6 seconds. Notable for collectors are rare variants like the 911 Turbo (930) and special editions such as the 1988 Commemorative Edition, built to celebrate 250,000 911s produced. Values have risen steadily, with well-maintained examples often fetching over $50,000, and rare models exceeding $100,000 at auctions. The G-Series’ blend of classic design, durability, and historical importance as a transitional model makes it highly sought after in the exotic car market.
