About this car

The 2001 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet delivers the signature driving dynamics of the 996 generation in convertible form. Finished in Black with a matching Black interior, this example is powered by a 3.4L H6 engine paired with a six-speed manual transmission.

Its compact proportions and open-top design emphasize the model’s sporty character while retaining the everyday usability expected from a Porsche 911. The combination of the flat-six engine and manual gearbox provides direct engagement behind the wheel.

With its clean two-tone Black scheme, this Carrera Cabriolet stands as a classic representation of early-2000s Porsche engineering focused on balance and performance.

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.
