About this car

This 1999 Porsche 911 Carrera convertible marks the debut of the water-cooled flat-six engine in the 911 Cabriolet lineup. Finished in Black Metallic with a black leather interior, the car is powered by a 3.4L H6 engine paired with a six-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel drive. It has recorded 80,531 miles and comes with service records along with a note that the IMS bearing service has been completed.

The vehicle includes a power-operated lined and insulated soft top that lowers in approximately 20 seconds as well as a removable hardtop. It rides on upgraded 19-inch Sport Design black wheels with P225/35ZR19 front and P275/30ZR19 rear tires, each fitted with wheel caps displaying the colored Porsche crest updated to black. Litronic headlights, headlight washers, a Porsche Windstop deflector, and parking assist are all present, while tinted windows and clear side markers complete the exterior.

Inside, the cabin features front leather sport seats with power backrest adjustment, manual length adjustment, and heating. Additional equipment includes a three-spoke leather steering wheel with airbag, aluminum brake handle and shift knob, embossed Porsche crest headrests, an on-board computer, and an Alpine audio system upgraded from the original AM/FM stereo with compact disc player, supported by the digital sound package. The aluminum and chrome package adds aluminum instrument dials, metal door sills with insignia, and oval stainless steel exhaust pipes. Traction control with active brake differential and a limited-slip differential are also fitted.

Powertrain
Combustion

The Porsche 911 Carrera 996, produced from 1997 to 2006, marks the fifth generation of the iconic 911 lineup and was a significant shift for the model with its water-cooled engine, departing from the traditional air-cooled design. Approximately 175,000 units were produced worldwide across various trims, making it one of the more accessible generations for collectors, though specific variants remain rare. The base Carrera featured a 3.4-liter flat-six engine, later upgraded to 3.6 liters, delivering between 296 and 320 horsepower depending on the model year. Performance highlights include a 0-60 mph time of around 5 seconds for the Carrera and a top speed nearing 174 mph.

For exotic car collectors, the 996 offers intrigue with limited editions like the Carrera 4S and the 40th Anniversary Edition (2004), which are sought after for their unique styling and performance tweaks. While initially less favored due to its design changes, the 996 has seen rising value in recent years, particularly for well-maintained, low-mileage examples and rare variants like the GT3. Its historical significance lies in bridging Porsche’s classic era with modern engineering, making it a pivotal model in the 911’s evolution.
