Description
Unique features: - Excellent condition - Low mileage for this model year - History available and service book up to date - French origin Our Porsche 911 Type 996. 2 Carrera 4S was delivered new in France and put on the road on 26 February 2002. It has only had two owners, including its current owner since 2020.
The car is in excellent overall condition. Its mileage is relatively low for a 2002 model, at 74, 000 km. In a Kerguelen Grey colour, combined with grey Turbo wheels, red brake callipers and a black leather interior, this Porsche 911 is faultless.
Mechanically, its condition is consistent with its appearance. Its 3. 6-litre Flat 6 engine developing 320 bhp, combined with the 6-speed manual gearbox, works perfectly and makes a lovely sound with every acceleration. Servicing is carried out at Porsche Centres and by specialists. The history of the work carried out is available in the form of invoices and the maintenance booklet. The last service was carried out in January 2024 at a distance of 73, 810 kilometres. This model has had work done on the IMS and a clutch change, as well as a polish and ceramic coating.

Unlike its 993 predecessor, the 996 took a major technological and aesthetic step forward, switching to water-cooling for ecological reasons. The German marque decided to reduce production costs by integrating large-scale production and reusing parts from other models, such as those from the Boxster.
The body is more imposing, 18. 5cm longer, 3cm wider and with an 8cm longer wheelbase. The design is elegant and unadorned. On the mechanical front, water-cooling, although much criticised when it first came out, has increased power and performance. The downsizing of the engine to 3. 4 litres does not prevent power from increasing to 300 bhp for the base model. The engine was subsequently redesigned and returned to the 3. 6-litre Flat 6, enabling the 996 Carrera 4S in particular to increase its power output to 320bhp.
Aesthetically, the use of the Boxster's headlamps for the 911 did not go down well. This was quickly rectified with the launch of the 911 Turbo and its inimitable look. The 996 Carrera 4S, which came out some time later, benefited from the changes made and featured the Turbo bodywork, with headlights, wide wings and the return of the famous red stripe at the rear. The 996 Carrera 4S is one of the most popular 996 models, thanks to its Turbo look and excellent performance.
