Powered by a 3.6L flat-six engine paired with a precise manual transmission and all-wheel drive, the car delivers balanced performance and the engaging character expected from Porsche’s flagship sports car.
With 57,856 miles, this low-mileage example maintains the supple ride and sharp handling that define the Carrera 4 Cabriolet. The convertible top allows seamless transition between closed-coupe refinement and open-road freedom, while the 22 city / 29 highway MPG rating underscores the efficiency of the naturally aspirated H6 powerplant.

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.
