About this car
The 1999 Porsche 911 Carrera Convertible pairs a sleek Black exterior with a refined Space Grey interior, delivering the signature driving experience of the 996 generation. Powered by a 3.4L H6 engine paired with a 6-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel drive, this low-mileage example has covered just 81,570 miles while retaining its iconic performance character and open-top versatility.
Under the hood, the water-cooled flat-six features Variocam variable valve timing, dual three-way catalytic converters, and a fully integrated electronic ignition and fuel injection system. The chassis employs MacPherson strut front suspension with aluminum lower control arms, an aluminum multi-link rear axle with toe correction, front and rear stabilizer bars, and force-sensitive power rack-and-pinion steering, all supported by power-assisted four-wheel ventilated disc brakes with four-piston light alloy calipers.
The full-power convertible soft top includes automatic latching, while the speed-dependent rear spoiler integrates a third brake light. Additional exterior details comprise halogen headlights with variable focus, a headlight washer system, fog lamps, electrically adjustable and heated body-color mirrors, tinted glass, and body-color door handles.

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.
