About this car
The 1996 Porsche 911 Carrera G-Series presents a striking presence in Ivory exterior paint paired with a Brown interior. This 2D coupe has traveled 83,612 miles and is powered by a 3.6-liter six-cylinder engine paired with a 6-speed manual transmission. The vehicle features computer-controlled full-time all-wheel drive with auto differential clutch actuation along with a limited-slip differential and automatic brake differential for composed handling.
Its welded unitized body incorporates zinc-galvanized steel construction, while the suspension setup includes independent MacPherson struts up front with aluminum alloy lower control arms and independent rear suspension with aluminum alloy semi-trailing arms. Power-assisted rack-and-pinion steering works with power-assisted four-wheel ventilated disc brakes and an anti-lock braking system. The car rides on 205/50ZR17 front and 255/40ZR17 rear tires mounted to 17-inch five-spoke pressure-cast light-alloy wheels.
Standard equipment includes an electric sunroof, a speed-dependent extendable rear spoiler, halogen headlights with high-pressure washers, front fog lights integrated into the apron, electrically adjustable and heatable mirrors, and tinted glass. Inside, the 2+2 cabin offers cloth reclining bucket seats with electric height adjustment, a leather-covered steering wheel, backlit analog instrumentation, power windows, cruise control, air conditioning with automatic temperature control, and an AM/FM digital display stereo cassette radio with six speakers.

- 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.
