About this car

This 1999 Porsche 911 Carrera convertible pairs timeless 911 proportions with the refined capability of the Carrera Tiptronic 4 5AT. Finished in Ocean Blue Metallic over a Gray interior, the two-door cabriolet has traveled 64,400 miles while retaining its classic silhouette defined by an overall length of 174.5 inches, width of 69.7 inches, and height of 51.4 inches.

Power comes from a naturally aspirated 3.4L H6 engine producing smooth, linear performance through rear-wheel drive. The five-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission delivers effortless shifts suited to both spirited drives and relaxed cruising, with EPA estimates of 17 mpg city and 25 mpg highway on premium unleaded fuel.

Inside, the four-passenger cabin features a driver-focused layout with supportive seating and straightforward controls. The convertible top allows open-air enjoyment while preserving the 911’s signature handling balance and everyday usability.

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.
