The 996 generation of the Porsche 911, launched 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, its performance and modern design quickly cemented its place in the lineage. The Carrera 4S, introduced in 2002, combined the wide body and braking system of the formidable 996 Turbo with the naturally aspirated 3.6-liter flat-six engine of the Carrera, sending power to all four wheels. This created a highly capable and visually aggressive package, offering enhanced stability and a distinctive road presence that harkened back to the legendary 959. This 2004 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S, with 96,653 miles on the odometer, takes the inherent capabilities of the C4S and reimagines them for a different kind of enthusiast. Transformed into a "Safari" build, it pays homage to Porsche's storied off-road racing heritage, particularly the Rothmans-liveried 911s that tackled the East African Safari Rally. This particular example features the robust 3.6L flat-six engine paired with a engaging 6-speed manual transmission, offering a visceral driving experience whether on pavement or venturing off the beaten path. This unique Carrera 4S Safari Build represents an extraordinary opportunity to acquire a truly distinctive Porsche, blending classic rallying spirit with modern 911 performance.
