About this car
This 2008 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet presents a compelling example of the iconic 911 formula, finished in striking Black over a convertible body style that blends open-air freedom with everyday usability. With 59,300 miles recorded, the car remains a low-mileage specimen of the naturally aspirated era, powered by a 3.6L H6 engine paired exclusively with a six-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel drive.
The flat-six delivers responsive performance through its 345-horsepower output, while the convertible top allows seamless transitions between coupe-like refinement and open-top exhilaration. Fuel economy is rated at 22 mpg city and 29 mpg highway, underscoring the model's efficient yet potent character within the 911 lineup.
Measuring 178.8 inches in length, 79.7 inches in width, and 51.8 inches in height, the Carrera Cabriolet maintains the classic proportions that define the 911 silhouette, complemented by seating for four and a focus on driver engagement through its manual gearbox and balanced chassis dynamics.

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
