Vehicle Description
2003 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet
Carrera is a Spanish word and stands for "race". Porsche started
using the name on the 356 series, to show homage to Carrera
Panamericana, a border-to-border race held in Mexico from 1950 to
1954. The Carrera name has been added to many racing and race-ready
models since 1955: the 356, 904, 906, 911 up to 1977 and the 924.
In 1984, with the 911 G-model being in production for a decade
already, Porsche's marketing department started using the Carrera
name for a basic model to boost sales. The name was also used for
the Carrera GT supercar.
For your consideration, a very special Porsche Carrera Cabriolet,
911 from 2003. This car's design does not have a straight line
within its design. All surfaces are as smooth as a baby's bottom,
and it is bathed in the correct color for this piece of German
engineering...Silver Metallic. A dark blue convertible top is on
and it moves up and down seamlessly. It is powered by a 3.6 liter
flat 6 cylinder in the back of the car and it has Tiptronic toggles
to shift while you are making that hairpin curve at 80mph plus.
Yes, now is your chance to have your seat thrilled and be the proud
owner of a Porsche Carrera... Just classic!
Exterior
Sexy is the keyword for this car and it starts with the aerodynamic
integrated bumper, gracefully sloping sunny side up egg shaped
headlights that undulate from the hood to the fenders. All this sex
appeal is bathed in Porsche Silver Metallic. All of the gaps are
straight, but we do note a few flaws in the paint that are limited
to stone chips, some wear off on the fender fronts, and scratches
in the spoiler area lower in front, and on the rockers. The bulbous
rear of the vehicle works with the dark blue canvas drop top to
form the sloping rear, also with a seamless rear body matching
bumper complete with the sculpted taillights sounding either edge
of the rear quarters. An integrated hidden rear spoiler
automatically rises to help with the handling when up to speed and
fits nicely into the engine lid. Big 19-inch multi-spoke Porsche
wheels are wrapped in low profile all season rubber on all 4
corners.
Interior
Dark blue leather, with just a nice touch of some break in wear,
covers the high back buckets with integrated headrests rising
seamlessly from the tops of the seats. These front a curvaceous
sexy dash with some interplay of black panels and cascading
circular black faced gauges. An AM/FM/CD enabled radio can keep you
entertained on those long fast commutes via the Autobahn or your
local 4 lane interstate track. The car brags about cruise control,
memory seats, power windows, power locks, and a power top. Seat
matching slightly faded blue carpet floods the floors and remains
amazingly clean. Noted is a blue top cover which adds to the aero
look when the top is in the down position and is practically
seamless.
Drivetrain
Shoehorned into the rear of the car is a 3.6 liter flat 6 cylinder
which has the capability of producing 318 peak horsepower. Chiseled
factory exhaust snakes its way out for a dual exit on either side.
A 5-speed automatic transmission is bolted on and it has Tiptronic
shifting capabilities. EFI and natural aspiration is how the flatty
is fed. On back is a 3.44 rear drive axle
Undercarriage
With an 85 percent coverage of ground effects panels, only the
wheels are visible from the bottom. The panels are in very good
condition with slight road dirt and some scrapes on the lower front
cowl of the bodywork. The rockers are solid, and big 4-wheel disc
brakes are present along with 4 wheel independent suspension. The
engine lowers show slight corrosion on the aluminum and the exhaust
has a light coating of surface rust.
Drive-Ability
I could say a good time was had by all, but in reality, it was only
me alone on the test track. Here this car had unlimited
acceleration, smooth quick braking, and rail-like handling. The
steering was snappy and responsive, and this car can cruise all day
on the highway. All functions were flawlessly working, including
the glass rear window top. I did notice the passenger mirror was
not accepting my power commands.
Clearly a well maintained snappy 911 styling with big discs all
around, the flat 6 cylinder EFI and Tiptronic all add up to serious
fun in a very affordable package. Take all the liberties you want,
and delight in the fact you are behind the wheel of a classic 911.
Hey big spender...
