About this car
The 2001 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 coupe delivers the signature rear-engine balance and all-wheel-drive grip that defined the 996 generation. Finished in Black Metallic with a leather interior, this example shows 60,012 miles and is powered by a 3.4L H6 engine paired with a 6-speed manual transmission.
Performance hardware includes a 3.4L DOHC aluminum water-cooled horizontally-opposed 6-cylinder engine with VarioCam variable valve timing, dual 3-way catalytic converters, and a fully integrated electronic ignition and fuel-injection system. The chassis rides on MacPherson strut front suspension with aluminum alloy lower control arms, an aluminum alloy multi-link LSA rear axle, front and rear stabilizer bars, and force-sensitive power rack-and-pinion steering. Braking is handled by power-assisted 4-wheel ventilated and perforated disc brakes with 4-piston light-alloy calipers, while a 16.9-gallon fuel tank and 120-amp alternator support extended driving.
Outside, the coupe features integrated front fog lights, rear fog lights, power-heated color-keyed outside mirrors, tinted glass with graduated tint on the windshield, and color-keyed door handles. Inside, 2+2 seating is complemented by individually folding rear seat backs, a lockable storage compartment behind the brake lever, and a leather-covered 4-spoke tilt steering wheel. Additional appointments include power windows with one-touch operation, cruise control, automatic climate control with dust and odor filter, rear window defroster, dual illuminated visor vanity mirrors, and a luggage compartment finished in black fleece.

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.
