About this car
This 2000 Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe presents a timeless example of Porsche engineering, finished in striking Guards Red over a black leather interior. With just 42,876 miles, the low-mileage 911 retains its classic proportions and performance character, powered by a 3.4-liter flat-six engine paired with a smooth Tiptronic 5-speed automatic transmission.
The rear-wheel-drive coupe delivers balanced handling and the signature flat-six soundtrack, achieving 16 mpg in the city and 25 mpg on the highway on premium unleaded fuel. Its compact dimensions—174.5 inches long, 69.5 inches wide, and 51.4 inches tall—contribute to the agile, driver-focused experience that defines the 996-generation 911.
Inside, the four-seat cabin features supportive leather upholstery and a driver-centric layout, emphasizing the model’s grand-touring capability alongside its sporty pedigree.

Factory color
Guards Red
Guards Red is one of Porsche's most recognizable colors: a rich, solid red with a minimal hint of orange and a special luminosity that makes a bold statement on any 911. Originally known as India Red, it has been offered as a standard 911 color since the 1970s. Earlier cars, including mid-1980s 911s, carried it under code 027, and it later appeared under codes 80K and 84A on models including the 964, 993 and 996 into the early 2000s.

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.
