The new water-cooled 911 was a shock to the system when introduced
to the automotive world in 1997. Yet, today, it is obvious that the
change was necessary, with the progression delivering all manner of
fantastic and collectible Porsche sports cars over the past 25
years. On the leading edge of that revolution were cars like this
2001 911 Carrera 4 Cabriolet. Designed with permanent all-wheel
drive, the new 996-generation Carrera 4 was added to the 911 model
series in early 1999. The Cabriolet was designed in concert with
the Coupe, eliminating much of the potential harshness from the
typical open-topped variant. What had shocked many just a few years
earlier had turned into a sales success, with Porsche enthusiasts
warming to the idea of a water-cooled 911 and ordering special
examples like this one.
The original window sticker on file reveals this Carrera 4
Cabriolet, finished in the exceptionally rare color of Rain Forest
Green Metallic, was originally delivered to the world famous Brumos
Porsche dealership in Jacksonville, Florida, before being
transferred to Feduke Motor Co. of Binghamton, New York. Graphite
Grey was selected as the interior color along with a color-matched
soft top. Factory fitted options included a three-spoke steering
wheel and the Advanced Technic Package which included headlight
washers, digital sound processor with hi-fi sound, a wind
deflector, Litronic headlights, an on-board computer, and a CD
changer. Furthermore, this example features the ever-popular "row
your own" six-speed manual transmission. Rare for a 911 of this
era, the clean CARFAX Vehicle History Report reveals long-term
original ownership from 2001 until 2021 and an impressively low
8,280 miles accumulated in that time.
Now firmly under the umbrella of Porsche Classic, it might be easy
to overlook that the early-2000s 911s are quite the performance car
with zero to 60 flashing by in 5.2 seconds and a top track speed of
174 miles per hour. Today this Cabriolet remains a highly original
example in an exceptional color combination and is offered with
8,318 miles at the time of cataloging. The car features numerous
delivery items including its original window sticker, original
delivery temp tag, Brumos sales sheet, books with original stamped
service booklet, and an abundance of service invoices. In addition,
the car features its trunk mounted toolkit and wind deflector in
bag.
