Vehicle Description
2006 Porsche 911 Carrera 4
In 1923 Ferdinand Porsche moved to Stuttgart to become Technical
Director at Daimler, where he assumed responsibility for the
development of the famous S, SS and SSK models, while also helping
to develop truck and aero-engines, etc. When his contract expired,
he returned to Austria where he at first worked as General Director
of Steyr. In 1931 Porsche went into business for himself, starting
his own design company in Stuttgart. And the rest as they say is
history!
For consignment a 6-cylinder fuel injected, 6-speed manual
transmission personal rocket ship in the form of a 2006 Carrera 4
Coupe. This car presents in beautiful condition, with very few
minor faults seen outside and inside. It mechanically very sound,
well maintained, and has a mere 46,878 miles clocked on her. From
the minds of German engineers, and the spirit of Ferdinand Porsche
a great sports car priced reasonably...Schnell!
Exterior
With the clean lines reminiscent of models that have come before
like the 356 Speedster, this car cuts through the wind like a bird
in flight. Seams are kept to a minimum, and the ones that need to
exist, are minding their gaps incrementally well. The entire car is
bathed in beautiful Midnight Blue Metallic. Xenon headlights sealed
in their aerodynamic environment lead the way, a power sunroof tops
the car, and on the sloped rear a speed activated spoiler raises
and lowers automatically. Big 18-inch wheels wrapped in Bridgestone
Pilot sport rubber makes this car handle like a cat on the
carpet.
Interior
Sport luxury would best describe the interior of this sports car.
Sand Beige leather abounds and has fine stitching holding
everything together. The dual high back buckets are power
adjustable, very clean and offer up a heated option as well. An
aerodynamically designed console races forward towards the dash,
and has a nice storage compartment, and the leather covered and
booted shift lever. The dash front houses the Bose high end sound
package, climate controls, and a PCM color display which includes
navigation. In front of the driver is a cascade of circular
instruments, keeping you abreast of all the cars vitals. These are
white faced gauges and are fronted by the original steering wheel,
which shows no wear. Above a tight headliner in suede saddle
leather wraps everything up above nice and tightly, while below
clean thick pile carpet compliments the interior leather.
Drivetrain
A water cooled 3.6-liter 6-cylinder engine with 4 valves per
cylinder drives full time all-wheel drive. This mill is fed by
electronic fuel injection and has a 6-speed manual transmission
backing it up which puts power to a 3.44 axle.
Undercarriage
All very clean underneath with a mass of interwoven tubes and
pipes, all packed into the rear of this car. Slight corrosion is
noted but is mostly unremarkable. Plenty of ground effects panels
cover most of the underside. Vented and perforated disc brakes are
grabbed by 4 piston calipers and have active brake differential,
anti-lock braking, and this car sports traction control.
Drive-Ability
This car fires right up and has the beautiful exhaust sound that is
a signature of Porsche. My drive included some exhilarating
acceleration, especially on the top end...it just wants to continue
to pick up speed. It handles very nimbly and is a thrill ride to
drive overall.
A very nicely preserved example of Porsche technology from 2006.
This car has been well kept and put up after each play date.
Interior is barely used looking, and it sports plenty of power to
push you into your seat even more snugly.
