About this car

The 2002 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 Cabriolet appears in Arctic Silver Metallic with Metropol Blue leatherette and partial leather upholstery. This 996-generation example pairs its 3.6L H6 engine with a 6-speed manual transmission and carries 57,375 miles. A power convertible roof with automatic latching and a removable hardtop with rear defroster allow open or closed driving.

Power comes through a VarioCam Plus variable valve timing system, direct distributorless coil-on-plug ignition, and a double-inertia flywheel. The chassis uses MacPherson strut front suspension with aluminum components, an independent 5-link rear suspension with coil springs, and front and rear stabilizer bars. Braking is handled by cross-drilled rotors and 4-piston light alloy calipers with ABS. Seventeen-inch Carrera II design alloy wheels mount 205/50ZR17 front and 255/40ZR17 rear performance tires.

Inside, power-adjustable front bucket seats, a leather-wrapped sport steering wheel with telescoping column, and automatic climate control with filtration are standard. Additional cabin features include a Hi-Fi sound system with AM/FM cassette, cruise control, power windows with one-touch operation, remote keyless entry, and an integrated central locking and alarm system.

Powertrain
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.
