About this car
This 2003 Porsche 911 Carrera coupe delivers the pure, analog driving experience enthusiasts seek in a rear-engine sports car. Finished in Black over a Dark Grey interior, the 996-generation model pairs its 3.6L H6 engine with a 6-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel drive for direct, engaging performance.
The flat-six produces 315 hp at 6800 rpm and 273 lb-ft of torque at 4250 rpm, rewarding precise throttle inputs through the manual gearbox. At 69,786 miles, this example retains the iconic silhouette, supportive bucket seats, and focused cockpit layout that define the Carrera.
Every control and feature has been preserved to maintain the car’s driver-centric character, from the leather-wrapped shift knob and handbrake to the automatic climate control with carbon filter and the multi-function trip computer.

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.
