than our Garage Kept Motors site, it's possible that you've only
seen some of our many photographs of the car due to third-party
website limitations. To be sure you access all the more than 155

machine - Hagerty At its introduction, Motor Trend noted: The new
Carrera 4S... wraps the all-wheel-drive Carrera 4 in a body based
on the 911 Turbo, with its flared rear fenders and open-vent front
air dam. The 4S also offers the functional value of the Turbo's
wider track, high-performance four-piston vented disc brakes, and
pressure-cast 18-inch alloy wheels. Visually, all that's lacking on
the 4S is the whale tail rear wing of the Turbo; the 4S shares the
speed-dependent extendible rear spoiler with the other normally
aspirated 911s. For '96, the 3.6 gets a boost in output to 282
horsepower and 250 pound-feet of torque-increases of 12 and 7,
respectively-and boasts a solid improvement in midrange
performance. These improvements are due to a new Varioram
variable-intake system, larger intake and exhaust valves, and a
modified ignition system and valve timing. Offered here in a
classic Zuffenhausen color, Grand Prix White, with a black partial
leather interior is a 1996 Porsche 911 (993 series) 4S. Originally
sold at Sportique Motors, Ltd., Huntington, New York, the car
currently shows 103,337 miles, or just 4,134 miles per-year on
average since new. The original factory window sticker (showing all
standard and optional equipment and pricing), original paper
VIN/options sticker, and owner literature are included with the
car, and photos of each can be viewed in the accompanying gallery.
Also included is a link to the 5-page Carfax history report showing
regular and consistent maintenance by professional shops over the
car's history. Not shown on the Carfax report is the most recent
comprehensive August 13, 2021 service performed on the car by the
highly respected German Auto Service in Grand Rapids, Michigan. All
17 pages of the $21,400 invoice and report on the car are shown in
the photo gallery. Factory specifications for the 1996 911 Carrera

Magazine's data presentation:
https://www.excellence-mag.com/resources/specs/329 The white
exterior paint remains in excellent condition across the entire
car. Porsche paint-application technology has long been regarded as
among the industry's most advanced, and the results produced are
obvious here. All body panels-including the bespoke lower-front
fascia with its bespoke air intakes, the racing-style mirrors, the
added rear spoiler (similar to the Turbo model's rear spoiler, but
of a slightly different design)-are free of indications of wear or
damage. (The Carfax report shows an accident with unspecified
damage 20 years ago which clearly has been completely repaired long
ago.) Carbon-fiber-finish protective panels have been added to the
A pillars. All cabin glass and all lighting lenses are clear and
undamaged. Badging, including a rear Carrera 4S emblem with the red
S and the Porsche crest hood emblem, is properly in place. Highly
regarded Ruf® performance wheels (with colored Porsche-crest
centercaps) have replaced the factory wheels. The open-spoke design
gives excellent views of the red-painted, Porsche-logo brake
calipers and drilled brake roto
