About this car
The 2008 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 Cabriolet delivers the signature balance of performance and open-air elegance that defines the 911 lineage. Finished in sophisticated Macadamia Metallic with a Cocoa Leather interior, this convertible pairs timeless styling with a driver-focused cockpit designed for both grand touring and spirited road use.
Power comes from a naturally aspirated 3.6L H6 engine paired with a precise manual transmission and rear-wheel drive. With 49,099 miles recorded, the car maintains its factory-specified performance envelope, offering 21 mpg in the city and 28 mpg on the highway while preserving the responsive handling and distinctive flat-six soundtrack enthusiasts expect from a Porsche 911.
Every element—from the convertible top mechanism to the four-seat cabin layout—emphasizes the model’s dual role as a refined daily driver and weekend sports car. The combination of classic 911 proportions, premium leather trim, and efficient powertrain creates a vehicle that remains as engaging today as when it left the factory.

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
