About this car
This 1996 Porsche 911 Carrera G-Series delivers the pure driving experience that defined the model line, finished in Red exterior paint over a Brown interior. With 49,669 miles recorded, the car remains a low-mileage example of the classic 911 shape and proportions.
The exterior color provides a vibrant contrast against the body lines, while the Brown cabin offers a warm, period-correct atmosphere that complements the car's sporting character. Every element reflects the careful preservation typical of well-maintained examples from this era.
Power comes from the rear-mounted flat-six engine paired with the original transmission and drivetrain layout that made the 911 Carrera a benchmark for balanced performance.

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.
