The 993 generation of the Porsche 911 holds a special place in history as the last air-cooled iteration of Stuttgart's iconic sports car. Launched in late 1993, it represented a significant evolution from its 964 predecessor, featuring all-new multi-link rear suspension, a redesigned body that was both more aerodynamic and aesthetically refined, and an updated version of the venerable M64 flat-six engine. Among the most desirable variants was the Carrera 4S, introduced for the 1996 model year. It combined the wider body shell and chassis of the Turbo – complete with its stiffer suspension and larger brakes – with the naturally aspirated 3.6-liter engine of the standard Carrera, sending power to all four wheels. This unique blend offered an aggressive stance and enhanced handling without the Turbo's outright power, making it a highly sought-after driver's car with just 1,114 examples produced for the North American market over its two-year run. This particular 1997 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S represents an almost unbelievable opportunity to acquire a pristine example of this legendary machine. Finished in the quintessential Guards Red, its widebody proportions are perfectly accentuated, hinting at the performance within. What truly sets this C4S apart is its astonishingly low mileage, showing just 3,243 miles on the odometer – a figure that places it among the lowest-mileage 993s known to exist. Power comes from the original 3.6-liter flat-six engine, paired with a crisp 6-speed manual transmission, promising an engaging and unadulterated driving experience that remains as visceral today as it was a quarter-century ago. For the discerning collector or enthusiast, this 993 Carrera 4S is more than just a car; it's a meticulously preserved piece of Porsche history.
