Our Porsche 911 Type 996 Carrera 4S was delivered new to Japan in 2003. It was imported by its first owner, a Frenchman, in 2020. It has had a second owner up to the present day.
The car is in excellent overall condition, in keeping with its low mileage of 49,350 kilometers. Its Kerguelen Grey color is combined with gray Turbo wheels and a black leather interior. A very slight scratch is visible on the front bumper. Apart from this, the car is in irreproachable cosmetic condition.
Its mechanical condition is consistent with its excellent looks. The 320 hp 3.6 L flat-6 engine, combined with the 5-speed Tiptronic automatic gearbox, still delivers excellent performance and a captivating sound. Servicing is carried out in the Porsche network and by brand specialist DMA. The last service is scheduled for October 2023.
Here are the options and equipment available on this model:
Launched in 1997, the Porsche 911 Type 996 is the 5th generation 911. Unlike its 993 predecessor, the 996 takes a major technological and aesthetic step forward, switching to water-cooling for ecological reasons. The German brand decided to reduce production costs by integrating large-scale production, and reusing parts from other models, such as those from the Boxster.
The body is more imposing, with 18.5 cm in length, 3cm in width and an 8cm longer wheelbase. The design is elegant and unadorned. Mechanically, water-cooling, although much criticized at the time of its introduction, increases power and performance. The downsizing of the engine to 3.4L does not prevent power from increasing to 300hp for the base model. The engine was later redesigned and returned to the 3.6-liter Flat 6, enabling the 996 Carrera 4S in particular to increase output to 320 hp.
From an aesthetic point of view, the use of the Boxster's headlights for the 911 did not go down well. This was quickly rectified with the 911 Turbo and its inimitable look. The 996 Carrera 4S, released some time later, benefited from the changes made and featured the Turbo bodywork, with headlamps, wide fenders and the return of the famous red stripe at the rear. The 996 Carrera 4S is one of the most popular 996 models, thanks to its Turbo look and excellent performance.
