About this car
The 1999 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet presents a striking example of the iconic 996 generation, finished in Arctic Silver Metallic over a Boxster Red leather interior. This convertible has covered just 46,604 miles and is powered by a 3.4L H6 engine paired with a Tiptronic automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive.
The water-cooled 24-valve flat-six delivers strong performance through its fully integrated electronic ignition and fuel injection system with VarioCam variable valve timing. The car rides on 17-inch five-spoke cup-design pressure-cast alloy wheels with locks, wrapped in 205/55ZR17 front and 255/40ZR17 rear tires, and features a speed-dependent extendable rear spoiler with integrated third brake light.
Inside, the partial leather reclining bucket seats with manual length adjustment and electric backrest adjustment are complemented by full leather trim, soft-look leather seats, Boxster Red floor mats, carbon fiber shifter and brake handle, aluminum painted instrument dials, and a leather-covered four-spoke axially adjustable steering wheel. The removable hardtop with heatable rear window pairs with the full power soft top and automatic latching, while the Porsche Windstop deflector enhances open-air comfort.

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.
