About this car
This 2006 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 Cabriolet presents a compelling blend of open-air motoring and classic 911 performance. Finished in striking Guards Red over a Black interior, the convertible body style allows for effortless top-down driving while retaining the model's signature silhouette and balanced proportions.
Power comes from a naturally aspirated 3.6L H6 engine paired with an automatic transmission and RWD drivetrain. The flat-six delivers smooth, responsive performance with strong mid-range pull, while the convertible top provides the option of open-air exhilaration or a secure, weather-protected cabin. With 66,622 miles recorded, this example has been maintained to preserve its driving dynamics and everyday usability.
Standard equipment includes seating for four, premium unleaded fuel compatibility, and a refined chassis that balances grand-touring comfort with the sharp handling expected of the 911 lineage. The overall dimensions—177.9 inches in length, 79.7 inches wide, and 51.6 inches tall—contribute to its planted stance and aerodynamic efficiency.

Factory color
Guards Red
Guards Red is one of Porsche's most recognizable colors: a rich, solid red with a minimal hint of orange and a special luminosity that makes a bold statement on any 911. Originally known as India Red, it has been offered as a standard 911 color since the 1970s. Earlier cars, including mid-1980s 911s, carried it under code 027, and it later appeared under codes 80K and 84A on models including the 964, 993 and 996 into the early 2000s.

The Porsche 911 Carrera 4 (997 generation) was produced from 2005 to 2012 as part of the fifth iteration of the iconic 911 lineup. This all-wheel-drive variant of the Carrera offered enhanced traction and stability, appealing to drivers seeking performance in varied conditions. Approximately 30,000 units of the Carrera 4 and Carrera 4S (the more powerful version) were produced across coupe, cabriolet, and Targa body styles, making it less rare than some limited-edition 911 models but still desirable among collectors for its refined engineering.
Equipped with a naturally aspirated flat-six engine, the base Carrera 4 (2005-2008) delivered 325 horsepower from a 3.6-liter displacement, while the later 2009-2012 models featured a 3.6-liter with 345 horsepower. The Carrera 4S offered a 3.8-liter engine, producing 355 horsepower (early models) and up to 385 horsepower (later models). Performance highlights include a 0-60 mph time of around 4.5-5.0 seconds, depending on the model and transmission (manual or PDK dual-clutch). Its historical significance lies in being the last 911 generation before the full transition to turbocharged engines in the 991 series, adding to its appeal. Values have remained stable or appreciated slightly, especially for well-maintained, low-mileage examples or rare configurations like
