We offer you this Porsche 911 Type 996.1 Carrera Cabriolet, with 139,000 KM on the odometer, registered in Italy on July 7, 1999. It has had three owners, the last one taking possession on June 9, 2022.
This 911 is presented in a superb "Arctic Silver Metallic" Grey color, with a blue leather interior and matching soft top. The vehicle is also fitted with a hardtop for maximum flexibility. The overall condition of the bodywork is good, with some light gravelling on the hood. The interior shows normal leather wear, reflecting its careful use.
Mechanically, this 996 is in excellent condition. It's equipped with a 300hp Flat 6 coupled to a manual gearbox (BVM), offering an authentic driving experience. Although the on-board instrumentation is in perfect working order, the air conditioning needs recharging. This vehicle has been serviced exclusively at Porsche, with a full service history and all invoices available. The last service was carried out for the sale, guaranteeing a ready-to-run car. Brake pads are at 50% wear, and no other costs are to be expected.

The Porsche 911 Type 996 Carrera Cabriolet, phase 1, introduced in 1997, represents the fifth generation of the 911 model. This version, produced until 2006, marks a turning point in the history of the 911 with the introduction of an all-new chassis and water-cooled engine, breaking with the tradition of air-cooled engines of previous generations.
Sharing components with the Porsche Boxster, the 996 enabled Porsche to reduce development costs by almost 30%, a necessity given the financial difficulties of the time. The 996 Carrera Cabriolet's 3.4-liter flat-6 engine produces 300 hp, with a six-speed manual transmission or optional Tiptronic automatic gearbox.
The design of the 996, led by Harm Lagaay and Pinky Lai, introduced the fried egg-shaped headlamps inspired by the 1997 Porsche 911 GT1, which sparked debate among purists. This generation features a longer, wider body, 45% greater rigidity, while being 50 kg lighter than its predecessor. The 996 Carrera Cabriolet offered a driving experience combining technical innovation and stylistic evolution, while remaining true to the 911 spirit.
