19k- mile 911 Carrera 4S Cabriolet X51: Manual, Widebody, 345 HP.

The 996 generation of the Porsche 911, launched in 1998, pioneered the model's water-cooled era, delivering a modern blend of performance and daily usability that solidified Porsche's global sports car leadership. The chassis offered superior handling and balance, despite the initial controversy surrounding its styling and departure from air-cooled tradition.

The Carrera 4S was a standout in the 996 lineup, combining the aggressive wide-body, suspension, and potent braking system of the 911 Turbo with a naturally aspirated engine. This pairing created a refined, all-wheel-drive 911 known for its muscular stance and responsive, linear power delivery, making it highly desirable to driving enthusiasts.

From our collection is this 2004 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S Cabriolet, it is a rare and low-mileage example, showing only 19,000 miles. It is factory-equipped with the desirable X51 Carrera Power Kit, which boosts the 3.6-liter flat-six engine to 345 horsepower through revised components. Power is managed by a rewarding six-speed manual transaxle and an all-wheel-drive system.

The exterior is finished in sophisticated Slate Grey Metallic (L23F) with a matching Black soft top. The wide-body design accommodates the 18-inch 996 Turbo-look alloy wheels and the high-performance braking system, which features red calipers over cross-drilled rotors. Key exterior equipment includes Xenon headlights, a speed-activated rear spoiler, and the stability of Porsche Stability Management (PSM).

Inside, the cabin is trimmed in luxurious Natural Grey supple leather across the heated front seats, dashboard, and door panels. Comfort and convenience features include automatic climate control, cruise control, aluminum interior accents, and a Bose sound system linked to a Becker-Porsche CDR23 stereo. Recent maintenance in 2022 ensured the car is well-sorted, making this manual, X51-equipped C4S a premium open-top performance car.
