About this car

The 1999 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet in Arctic Silver combines classic 996-generation styling with open-top driving enjoyment. Its 3.4L flat-six engine, featuring VarioCam variable valve timing and a 24-valve DOHC design, pairs with a six-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel drive for precise control. At just 16,349 miles, this low-mileage example remains ready for spirited use on winding roads or relaxed cruises.

The full-power convertible top includes automatic latching, while the speed-dependent rear spoiler integrates a third brake light for added presence. Inside, the black leather cabin offers 2+2 seating with individually folding rear seat backs, a leather-wrapped four-spoke steering wheel, and automatic climate control with particle filters. Backlit analog gauges, power windows with one-touch operation, and cruise control complete the driver-focused layout.

Advanced engineering touches such as the MacPherson strut front suspension, multi-link rear axle with toe correction, and four-piston aluminum brake calipers contribute to its balanced handling. Safety provisions include an anti-lock braking system, three-point inertia-reel seatbelts, and brake pad wear indicators, all wrapped in a body with aerodynamic under-carriage cover and heated exterior mirrors.

Powertrain
Combustion

The Porsche 911 Carrera 4 (996 generation) was produced from 1998 to 2005, marking the first major redesign of the iconic 911 with a water-cooled engine, replacing the air-cooled units of previous models. As part of the 996 lineup, the Carrera 4 variant featured all-wheel drive, distinguishing it from the rear-wheel-drive Carrera. Approximately 175,000 units of the entire 996 generation were produced, with the Carrera 4 making up a smaller, yet significant portion, enhancing its appeal among collectors seeking less common configurations.

Equipped with a 3.4-liter flat-six engine initially, later upgraded to 3.6 liters in 2002, the Carrera 4 delivered between 296 and 315 horsepower, depending on the model year. Performance highlights include a 0-60 mph time of around 5 seconds and a top speed nearing 174 mph. Its all-wheel-drive system offered superior traction, making it a versatile choice for varied driving conditions. For exotic car collectors, the 996 Carrera 4 is gaining attention as values trend upward, particularly for well-maintained, low-mileage examples or special editions like the 40th Anniversary model (2004). Its historical significance lies in being a transitional model in Porsche’s evolution, often debated for its design but respected for engineering advancements.
