The 996 generation of the Porsche 911, introduced in 1997, marked a significant departure for the iconic sports car, being the first to feature a water-cooled engine. While initially controversial among purists, the 996 matured into a highly capable and rewarding driver's car. The Carrera 4S variant, launched in 2002, brought a compelling blend of performance and aesthetics. It borrowed the wider body shell and braking system from the formidable 996 Turbo, giving it a more aggressive stance and enhanced stopping power, while retaining the naturally aspirated 3.6-liter flat-six engine. This combination offered a distinctive aesthetic and a refined driving experience, making the Carrera 4S a highly desirable model within the 996 lineage. This particular 2002 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S exemplifies the model's enduring appeal, showing 69,559 miles on the odometer. Power comes from its 3.6-liter naturally aspirated flat-six engine, paired with the highly sought-after 6-speed manual transmission, offering an engaging and direct connection to the road. The Carrera 4S's standard all-wheel-drive system provides enhanced grip and confidence, making it a capable performer in various conditions. This Carrera 4S represents an excellent opportunity to acquire a well-maintained example of a modern classic Porsche.
