About this car
This 2002 Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe presents in classic Silver over a Black interior, with 38,060 miles recorded. Powered by a naturally aspirated 3.6L H6 engine paired with a precise manual transmission and rear-wheel drive, the car delivers the balanced performance and driver engagement that define the 996-generation 911.
The coupe’s compact proportions—measuring 178.8 inches in length, 79.7 inches wide, and 51.8 inches tall—combine with a 4-passenger cabin and premium unleaded fuel requirement. EPA estimates of 22 mpg city and 30 mpg highway underscore the model’s efficient grand-touring capability while maintaining the sharp handling expected from Porsche’s signature flat-six layout.
Finished in its original exterior hue and complemented by the dark interior, this low-mileage example retains the clean, purposeful design language of the early 2000s Carrera without unnecessary embellishment.

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.
