About this car
This 1997 Porsche 911 Carrera Convertible presents a rare opportunity to own a classic air-cooled 993-generation example finished in White. Powered by a naturally aspirated 3.6L H6 engine paired with a manual transmission and rear-wheel drive, the car delivers the engaging driving dynamics that define the model. With 28,410 miles, it remains a low-mileage specimen that preserves the purity of the original design.
The convertible body style combines open-air motoring with the timeless proportions of the 911, featuring a balanced stance defined by its 174.5-inch length and 51.8-inch height. Premium unleaded fuel feeds the flat-six, which produces the signature sound and performance expected from this era of Porsche engineering. The four-seat cabin and two-door layout further enhance its versatility as a grand touring convertible.

The Porsche 911 (992) is the eighth generation of the iconic 911 sports car, introduced in 2019 and still in production as of 2023. Manufactured in Stuttgart, Germany, Porsche has produced over 100,000 units across various trims, though exact figures for specific models remain undisclosed by the company. The 992 is available in multiple variants, including the Carrera, Turbo, and GT3, with engines ranging from a 3.0-liter twin-turbo flat-six in base models (379 hp) to a 4.0-liter naturally aspirated flat-six in the GT3 (502 hp). Performance highlights include a 0-60 mph time of 2.6 seconds for the Turbo S and a top speed of up to 205 mph.
For exotic car collectors, the 992 holds appeal due to limited-run editions like the 911 Dakar, with only 2,500 units produced, and the GT3 RS, celebrated for its track-focused engineering. Historical significance lies in its evolution of the 911’s rear-engine design, maintaining a legacy since 1963. Value trends show strong appreciation for rare variants, with low-mileage Turbo S and GT3 models often commanding premiums above MSRP in the secondary market, reflecting high demand among enthusiasts and investors.
