About this car

This 2003 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet presents a timeless combination of open-air motoring and rear-engine performance. Finished in Black over a Gray interior, the convertible body style allows the driver to enjoy the signature flat-six soundtrack while the manual transmission places full control in the driver’s hands.

Power comes from a 3.6L H6 engine paired with a six-speed manual gearbox and rear-wheel drive. The naturally aspirated flat-six delivers smooth, linear power with strong mid-range response, while the convertible top provides effortless transition between closed and open configurations. Fuel economy is rated at 22 mpg city and 29 mpg highway on premium unleaded.

With 46,296 miles, this example retains the classic proportions and driver-focused cockpit that define the 996-generation 911. The Carrera Cabriolet balances everyday usability with the engaging dynamics expected from Porsche’s flagship sports car.

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.
