About this car
This 2003 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet presents in Midnight Blue Metallic with a Savanna Beige leather interior and has covered just 38,197 miles. Powered by a 3.6L DOHC SMPI aluminum water-cooled horizontally-opposed 24-valve 6-cylinder engine paired with a 6-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel drive, the car delivers the signature flat-six character and engaging dynamics expected of the 996-generation 911.
The convertible body features a double-lined power cabriolet top with a glass rear window, a body-color removable hardtop, and a speed-dependent extendable rear spoiler. The exterior is finished in metallic paint and rides on 18-inch light alloy Carrera wheels with wheel center caps featuring the colored Porsche crest. Xenon headlamp package, integrated front fog lights, power/heated color-keyed exterior mirrors, and a rear high-density fog light complete the lighting and visibility equipment.
Inside, the cabin is trimmed in full supple leather seats with the power seat package and heated front seats. Additional interior details include dark wood and aluminum shift lever and brake handle, a leather-wrapped 3-spoke steering wheel with Porsche crest, Savanna Beige floor mats with Porsche lettering, and a Bose high-end sound package. Porsche Stability Management, anti-lock braking system, driver and front passenger airbags, door-mounted side-impact airbags, and a multi-function trip computer are all present.

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.
