About this car

The 1999 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet presents a striking Speed Yellow finish over its classic convertible body, paired with a 3.4L H6 engine and a 6-speed manual transmission. This example has covered 94,985 miles while retaining the engaging character expected from the 996-generation 911, including its rear-wheel-drive layout and open-top design.

Power comes from the 3.4L DOHC EFI aluminum alloy water-cooled 24-valve flat-6 cylinder engine equipped with the VarioCam variable valve timing system and fully integrated electronic ignition and fuel injection. A hydraulic clutch and dual 3-way catalytic converters support smooth operation, while the aerodynamic under-carriage cover and MacPherson strut front suspension with aluminum alloy lower control arms contribute to its balanced dynamics. The aluminum alloy multi-link LSA rear axle incorporates toe-correction characteristics along with front and rear stabilizer bars.

Outside, the full power top features automatic latching and unlatching, complemented by a speed-dependent extendable rear spoiler with integrated third brake light. Halogen headlights with variable focus, a headlight washer system, fog lights, and electrically adjustable heated body-color mirrors complete the exterior equipment, along with tinted glass, a dual windshield wiper system with heated nozzles, and body-color door handles. Inside, the 2+2 seating includes individually folding rear seat backs, a leather-covered 4-spoke axially adjustable steering wheel, and backlit analog instrumentation with tachometer and trip odometer. Power windows with one-touch operation, an integrated central locking alarm and immobilizer system with remote entry, cruise control, and automatic climate control with particle filters enhance daily usability.

About the Porsche 911 Carrera 4 996

Production
1997–2004
Cylinders
6
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.
