Introduced for the 1999 model year, the new Type 996 Porsche 911
marked the first time the model featured a water-cooled engine.
With the high performance of modern engines, the change was a
necessary one. While the silhouette of the 996 carried on the
traditional look of the 911, it featured a more raked windshield,
completely redesigned interior, and a new headlight design. The new
911 was offered in coupe, targa, or cabriolet body styles. In 2002,
Porsche introduced the Carrera 4S model, an all-wheel-drive variant
which borrowed the wide-body look, as well as the brakes and
suspension of the 911 Turbo. The 996 remained in production through
2004, with the Turbo design carrying on through the 2005 model
year.
This 2004 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S Cabriolet was completed in
February 2004 and finished in Arctic Silver Metallic with a black
convertible top. It features self-dimming mirrors and rain sensors,
as well as the Xenon headlamp package. The car rides on aluminum
wheels with colored Porsche crest center caps. The Carrera 4S is
powered by a 320-hp, horizontally opposed 3.6-liter six-cylinder
engine which is mated to a six-speed manual transmission. The
interior is finished in black leather with heated front seats, Bose
High End Sound Package, and aluminum/leather shifter and brake
handle. The car retains its original factory stereo unit with CD
player.
This attractive convertible 911 has covered less than 11,700 miles
from new and is accompanied by its original owner's manuals, a copy
of the production specification, as well as the removable
windscreen with case. It is one of 4,543 Carrera 4S Cabriolet
examples produced for 2004 and would make for a highly capable and
comfortable highway cruiser, especially as the weather warms up.To
