About this car
The 2002 Porsche 911 Carrera is a striking Seal Grey Metallic cabriolet that pairs open-air freedom with the brand's signature rear-engine balance. Finished over a Black interior, this 996-generation example shows 91,000 miles and is powered by a 3.6L H6 engine paired with an automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive. Its classic 911 silhouette is accented by a speed-dependent extendable rear spoiler and oval exhaust tailpipes, while the power convertible roof allows effortless transitions between coupe-like security and top-down enjoyment.
Inside, the cabin emphasizes driver focus with 2+2 seating, power reclining driver seat, and supportive leather upholstery. Analog gauges including a tachometer and speedometer sit alongside a digital odometer and trip computer, while automatic climate control, cruise control, and power windows with one-touch operation add everyday convenience. Remote central locking, an immobilizer, and dual illuminated visor vanity mirrors complete the well-equipped cockpit.
Mechanically, the car benefits from Porsche's advanced chassis and safety systems of the era. Power is delivered through a Motronic ME 7.8 engine management system with VarioCam Plus variable valve timing, while stopping power comes from cross-drilled rotors and ABS. The suspension features MacPherson struts up front with aluminum components and an independent 5-link rear setup, all wrapped in 17-inch wheels.

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.
