The 996 generation of the Porsche 911, launched in 1997, marked a pivotal moment in the model's storied history, being the first to feature a water-cooled engine. This departure from the air-cooled tradition was met with initial apprehension but ultimately paved the way for the 911's continued evolution and performance gains. The Carrera 2, with its rear-wheel-drive purity, remained the quintessential driver's choice, embodying the balanced chassis dynamics and direct feedback that define the 911 experience. The 2002 model year saw the introduction of a facelift, bringing with it a larger 3.6-liter engine, borrowed from the Turbo, and subtle styling enhancements that sharpened its already iconic profile. This particular 2002 Porsche 911 Carrera 2 presents a compelling opportunity to own a meticulously maintained example of this significant generation. Showing 85,323 miles on its odometer, this sleek coupe is finished in a timeless black exterior over a matching black interior, a classic enthusiast specification. Power comes from the robust 3.6-liter naturally aspirated flat-six engine, paired with a highly desirable manual transmission, ensuring an engaging and unadulterated driving experience. The extensive service documentation, including records for a clutch replacement, new bearings, catalytic converters, a new water pump, and four new tires, attests to a history of diligent care and proactive maintenance, ensuring this 996 is ready for its next chapter on the open road. This well-documented, black-on-black manual Carrera 2 is a testament to the enduring appeal of the water-cooled 911.
