TECHNICAL FEATURES OF THE MODEL

• Permanent all-wheel drive with viscous coupling
• 6-speed manual gearbox (Tiptronic optional)

An evolved chassis compared to the 993, with greater rigidity, improved safety, high performance, and everyday usability.

MODEL HISTORY AND RARITY

The 996 series (1997–2006) marks a historic turning point for Porsche: it is the first 911 to abandon air cooling, opening a new technological era.

The 1999 Carrera 4 Cabriolet version represents:

• The very first production years of the 996 Cabriolet
• A configuration increasingly sought after today if original Italian and ASI certified
• Even less common when equipped with the original hard top

An example with:

• Original license plate
• Documented Italian history
• ASI Gold Plate
• Original Hard Top

represents an extremely interesting combination from both a historical and collector’s standpoint.
