About this car

The 2001 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet is finished in Black Metallic over a black leather interior and shows 32,721 miles. Power comes from a 3.4-liter DOHC flat-six paired with an automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive. This one-owner example includes a factory removable hardtop and the original rear wind deflector, both intact.

The M96 engine has received an IMS bearing service along with additional preventative maintenance and a recent Porsche service. New period-correct Pirelli P Zero Rosso tires are fitted. Equipment includes power door locks, keyless entry, air conditioning, cruise control, a trip computer, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel with telescopic column.

Seating consists of driver and passenger multi-adjustable power seats plus a second-row folding seat, all trimmed in leather. The convertible top features a glass rear window, and the car is equipped with fog lights, a front air dam, rear spoiler, alloy wheels, power windows, heated and power-adjustable mirrors, interval wipers, and a rear window defogger.

About the Porsche 911 Carrera 996

Cylinders

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.
