The 996 generation of the Porsche 911, launched in 1997, marked a significant turning point in the model's storied history, being the first to feature a water-cooled engine. While initially controversial among purists, the 996 matured into a highly capable sports car, and its later iterations are increasingly appreciated. Among these, the Carrera 4S stands out as a particularly desirable variant. Introduced in 2002, the C4S combined the wide-body shell and upgraded braking system from the formidable 996 Turbo with the naturally aspirated 3.6-liter M96 engine, offering a potent blend of aggressive aesthetics and engaging performance without the Turbo's higher price point. Its all-wheel-drive system provided enhanced traction and stability, making it a superb all-weather grand tourer. This 2003 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S exemplifies the appeal of the wide-body 996, presented in an exceptionally rare Meridian Metallic exterior over a sophisticated Metropol Blue interior. With 61,972 miles on its 3.6-liter naturally aspirated flat-six, this C4S sends its 320 horsepower through a precise 6-speed manual transmission, offering an unadulterated driving experience. The cabin is well-appointed with heated front seats, supple leather throughout, a Bose sound system, and the Xenon headlamp package. Enthusiast-oriented upgrades, including a 997 airbox and 997 shifter, further enhance the driving engagement and responsiveness of this particular example, complemented by stainless steel exhaust pipes. This Carrera 4S represents an enticing opportunity to acquire a distinctive and well-equipped example of a modern classic.
