Dealer Description

Wow this 911 Carrera Cabriolet includes a 3.4L 300 HP 6 Cylinder, 5 Speed Automatic Transmission, 18" Alloy Wheels, Power Convertible Top, Automatic Climate Control, Power Windows, Locks & Mirrors, Heated Mirrors and more. All pre-owned cars regardless of make and model are driven and evaluated by our highly qualified service personnel. The Porsche 911 continues to be one of the world's top sports cars. Porsche has the uncanny ability to build a car that has stunning performance, legendary mystique (what 13-year-old boy doesn't dream of owning a 911?) and real-world functionality. Back in 1999, the 911 underwent its first "clean-sheet" redesign since its introduction in 1965. Longer, wider and sleeker than any previous 911, the newest version nevertheless maintains the unmistakable 911 profile and classic styling cues. Like all previous 911s, the current models feature a rear-mounted, horizontally- opposed six-cylinder engine. Serious Porsche enthusiasts cried foul when Porsche announced the engine would be water-cooled rather than air-cooled. But it's hard to argue with the results. The all-aluminum 3.4-liter engine generates 300 horsepower and 258 foot-pounds of torque. The Tiptronic S allows drivers the option to manually select transmission gears via steering wheel-mounted thumb switches. The Tiptronic's manual mode can be activated by using the thumb switches, even if the shift lever is in the "D" position. To keep the chassis under control, Porsche's 911 gets an independent suspension that uses an optimized MacPherson strut design in front and a multilink setup in the rear. The standard 17-inch wheels come with 205/50ZR17 tires in front and 255/40ZR17 tires in back. An optional 18-inch wheel/tire package enhances both looks and performance. The one-touch power soft top on the Cabriolet models folds compactly in a compartment behind the rear seats. A standard hardtop cover fits flush against the body with the roof lowered. A Road & Track test of an early car concluded that the new Porsche is a significantly faster and, yes, a better car. Perhaps we shouldnt think of the 996 as a better or worse 911, but rather as a different one retuned by smart engineers for modern expectations. The 996 was also the first truly mass-produced 911. Every step of the production process was fairly cutting edge. Inside, occupants sat lower than they had in the 993 and had more headroom as well as more luggage space, despite retaining the same height and similar dimensions.
