Seller's Introduction
duPont REGISTRY Live presents this 1996 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S, a highly original 993-generation example finished in Polar Silver Metallic over a Black leather interior. Originally delivered to Japan and showing just 93,000 kilometers (approximately 57,787 miles), this Carrera 4S combines the unmistakable styling of the wide-body Turbo chassis with the purity of Porsche's final air-cooled 911 generation. Equipped with a 6-speed manual transmission, all-wheel drive, and a desirable factory slick-top configuration, this well-preserved example represents one of the most sought-after variants of the 993 lineup.
Overview
Widely regarded as one of the most desirable air-cooled 911s ever produced, the Carrera 4S paired the naturally aspirated 3.6-liter flat-six with the widened bodywork, suspension, and braking components derived from the contemporary 911 Turbo. Introduced for the final years of 993 production, the 4S delivered much of the Turbo's visual presence and road-holding capability while retaining the engaging character and linear power delivery of Porsche's naturally aspirated flat-six. Today, the Carrera 4S remains a favorite among enthusiasts for its blend of everyday usability, timeless styling, and air-cooled driving experience.
Finished in Polar Silver Metallic, the exterior highlights the muscular proportions that distinguish the Carrera 4S from standard 993 models. The signature wide rear wheel arches, 18-inch Turbo Twist wheels, red painted brake calipers, and deployable rear spoiler create an unmistakable stance, while the factory slick-top configuration enhances both aesthetics and rarity. Additional details include clear side marker lights and a rear windshield wiper, preserving the car's highly original presentation.
Inside, the cabin is trimmed in black leather upholstery and remains true to the understated character of the 993 generation. Features include the desirable sport seats with metallic-painted seat backs, air conditioning, power windows, and an Alpine head unit. The interior presents as a driver-focused environment that balances comfort with the analog feel that has made air-cooled 911s so revered among enthusiasts.
Power comes from an air-cooled 3.6-liter flat-six paired with a 6-speed manual transmission and Porsche's advanced all-wheel-drive system. A rear axle limited-slip differential further enhances traction and handling, complementing the chassis dynamics that helped establish the 993 as one of the finest-driving air-cooled 911s. Renowned for its durability, usability, and engaging road manners, the 993 Carrera 4S remains a benchmark among modern classics.
This 1996 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S is offered with one master key, two valet keys, owner's manuals, and Japanese service and inspection records. Combining desirable factory specifications, Japanese-market provenance, highly original condition, and the enduring appeal of Porsche's final air-cooled generation, this Carrera 4S represents a compelling opportunity for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
