The 996 generation of the Porsche 911, launched in 1997, marked a significant departure from its air-cooled predecessors, embracing water-cooled engines for the first time. While initially controversial among purists, the 996 proved to be a thoroughly modern and capable sports car, laying the groundwork for future 911 advancements. Among its most desirable iterations was the Carrera 4S, introduced in 2002. This variant blended the wide-body aesthetic of the formidable 996 Turbo with the naturally aspirated 3.6-liter engine of the Carrera, paired with an all-wheel-drive system for enhanced grip and stability. It offered a compelling package of aggressive looks, everyday usability, and classic 911 driving dynamics, making it a favorite for those who appreciated both form and function. This particular 2004 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S exemplifies the model's enduring appeal, presenting in remarkable condition with an exceptionally low 20,553 miles on the odometer. Power comes from the potent 3.6-liter naturally aspirated flat-six, mated to a precise manual transmission that puts the driver firmly in control of its spirited performance. The wide stance, borrowed from the Turbo, gives this Coupe an undeniable presence, hinting at its all-weather capabilities and confident handling. For the enthusiast seeking a meticulously maintained example of a modern classic, this 996 Carrera 4S offers an exceptional opportunity.
