About this car
This 1998 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S Coupe presents a compelling example from the final year of the air-cooled 911 era. Finished in Arctic Silver Metallic over partial leather Classic Gray trim with leather Classic Gray seats, the car pairs its 3.6L H6 engine with a manual transmission and all-wheel drive. The wide-body 4S configuration delivers the distinctive stance of the Turbo model while retaining naturally aspirated Carrera character, making it one of the most sought-after variants of the 993 generation.
Factory equipment includes the Engine Sound Package, Sound Package with Amplifier, and CD changer for enhanced audio performance. Additional details comprise colored Porsche crest wheel caps, heated and electrically adjustable seats with lumbar support, stainless-steel door entry guards with model logo, and aluminum-color instrument dials with chrome inner rings. The car rides on turbo-design pressure-cast light alloy wheels with locks, measuring 18 x 8.0 inches front and 18 x 10.0 inches rear, wrapped in 225/40ZR18 front and 285/30ZR18 rear tires.
Further specification highlights the Varioram intake system, limited-slip differential, automatic brake differential, computer-controlled full-time all-wheel drive with viscous center clutch, and power-assisted four-wheel ventilated disc brakes with ABS. The cabin features leatherette reclining bucket seats with electric height adjustment, a leather-covered steering wheel, power windows, automatic climate control with particle filters, cruise control, and an AM/FM stereo cassette radio with six speakers and anti-theft coding.

The Porsche 911 Carrera 4S (996 generation) was produced from 1998 to 2005, marking the first major redesign of the iconic 911 with a water-cooled engine, a departure from the traditional air-cooled design. As part of the 996 lineup, the Carrera 4S variant was introduced in 2001 for the 2002 model year, with production estimates of around 25,000 units worldwide across coupe and cabriolet body styles, making it less common than the base Carrera models but not exceedingly rare.
Equipped with a 3.6-liter flat-six engine, the Carrera 4S delivers 315 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 6-speed manual or 5-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission. It features all-wheel drive, distinguishing it from rear-wheel-drive Carrera models, and achieves 0-60 mph in approximately 4.8 seconds. Unique features include wider rear fenders, a distinctive rear reflector strip, and upgraded brakes shared with the 911 Turbo. For exotic car collectors, the 996 Carrera 4S holds appeal due to its transitional significance in Porsche’s history and increasing value trends, with well-maintained examples appreciating as the 996 generation gains recognition among enthusiasts. Special editions or low-mileage units are particularly sought after.
