About this car
The 2003 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 Cabriolet pairs its signature rear-engine layout with intelligent all-wheel drive and a 3.6L H6 engine mated to a six-speed manual transmission. Finished in Black, this convertible features a double-lined power cabriolet top with glass rear window, a body-color removable hardtop, and a speed-dependent extendable rear spoiler. With 58,046 miles, it delivers the classic 911 driving experience in a versatile open-top format.
Inside, standard leather seat trim covers the front bucket seats with manual length and height adjustments plus power backrest adjustment, while the 2+2 seating arrangement includes folding rear seat backrests and a storage compartment behind the rear seats. The cabin is equipped with an adjustable steering column, a leather-wrapped three-spoke steering wheel with Porsche crest, a leather-wrapped shift knob and handbrake lever, automatic climate control with carbon filter, and power windows with one-touch operation. An AM/FM stereo with CD player, multi-function trip computer, cruise control, central locking with remote, and dual illuminated visor vanity mirrors complete the interior.
Performance hardware includes MacPherson strut front suspension with aluminum components, independent multi-link rear suspension with coil springs, front and rear stabilizer bars, force-sensitive power rack-and-pinion steering, and Porsche Stability Management. Braking is handled by power four-wheel vented disc brakes with cross-drilled rotors and ABS, while VarioCam Plus variable valve timing optimizes the 3.6L engine. The car rides on 205/50ZR17 front and 255/40ZR17 rear performance tires.
Safety provisions encompass driver and front passenger airbags, door-mounted side-impact airbags, three-point inertia-reel safety belts with pretensioners and load limiters, front and rear crumple zones, and side-impact door beams.

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.
