About this car

The 2003 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S delivers the iconic 996-generation experience with a widebody stance, all-wheel drive, and a naturally aspirated 3.6L H6 engine producing 315 horsepower. Finished in Black over a Black leather interior, this coupe has covered 75,777 miles and is equipped with a 5-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission. Recent service work includes an IMS upgrade, ensuring the flat-six remains reliable for daily driving or weekend runs.

Techart front bumper fascia and a GT2-style rear diffuser add subtle visual upgrades that enhance the lowered profile without excess. Powder-coated turbo twist alloy wheels sit at each corner, while the power glass moonroof, heated power side mirrors, and front fog lights complete the exterior. Inside, the full leather upholstery extends to the shift knob and steering wheel, with an Alcantara headliner and Porsche-crested sport bucket seats providing a premium cockpit feel.

The Bose premium audio system pairs with an in-dash single-disc CD player and AM/FM radio for cabin entertainment. Automatic climate control, cruise control, keyless entry, and hydraulic power steering make every trip comfortable, while the rear spoiler, stability control, and traction control contribute to planted handling in varied conditions.

Powertrain
Combustion

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.
