This 1997 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S, part of the celebrated 993
generation (1995-1998), was originally delivered to Holbert Porsche
of Warrington, Pennsylvania and represents the final chapter of the
911's air-cooled era. Pairing the wide-body design of the Turbo
with a naturally aspirated 281-horsepower flat-six and all-wheel
drive, it offers a rare blend of style, performance, and
usability.
Manufactured as U.S. market example on 14 November 1996, this 911
Carrera 4S is finished in its factory configuration of Black over a
Black partial leather interior, desirable six-speed manual
transmission, and limited-slip differential. Highlights include
Aerokit front and rear spoilers (XD1 and XD2) which together form
the coveted "Aero II" aerodynamics package. Additional sought-after
options include aluminum instrument dials, motor sound package,
aluminum and leather combination shifter and hand brake levers, and
10 speaker hi-fidelity sound package.
According to its clean CARFAX Vehicle History Report, this example
accumulated consistent mileage and was routinely serviced and
inspected by German car specialist Knopf Automotive before it was
acquired by the consignor in 2004. The car received its 30,000-mile
service through Porsche White Plains in 2005 and then relocated to
New Hampshire in 2007. It continued to receive diligent care,
including its 60,000-mile service at Porsche Stratham in 2009, who
consistently maintained the car until 2024.
In May 2024, the C4S received engine-out mechanical updates by the
well-known Porsche experts at Seacoast Specialist Cars. This
included a new clutch kit with flywheel and pressure plate, rear
main seal, timing chain cover gaskets, crankcase housing gaskets,
belt and fluid services, and a fresh battery. The total for this
extensive service was over $17,000, as represented in the history
file.
This Porsche 911 Carrera 4S offers what many are looking for in
today's market; highly desirable factory options, timeless color
combination, long-term ownership, and consistent usage and service
history.
