Description
To Be OFFERED AT AUCTION WITHOUT RESERVE at RM Sothebys' Monterey event, 15 - 17 August 2024.
- Extremely desirable 993-generation 911 model with wider bodywork, naturally aspirated air-cooled engine, and four-wheel drive
- Offered from the White Collection showing just 9,788 miles on the odometer at the time of cataloguing
- Handsome Grand Prix White over Black partial leather color scheme
- Accompanied by history binders, manuals in pouch, a tool roll, and air compressor
Marking the end of the air-cooled era of Porsche 911, the 993-generation replaced the outgoing 964-generation in 1994 and remained in production through 1998. Boasting the wider bodywork of the Turbo with a naturally aspirated engine and four-wheel drive, the Carrera 4S hit a sweet spot with many enthusiasts, benefitting from the 282-brake horsepower Carrera S engine along with the added practicality and confidence of four-wheel drive.
Completed by the factory on 24 November 1995, this 911 Carrera 4S coupe was built for the 1996 model year and finished in Grand Prix White over a Black partial leather interior. Furthermore, it was equipped with an AM/FM radio with cassette player, a rear window wiper, wheel caps with the Porsche crest, and power seats. According to the accompanying CARFAX, it was delivered new to the Washington, DC area and would remain there until 2012, when it was sold to the White Collection.
Today, the car presents wonderfully throughout and shows just 9,788 miles on the odometer. A collection of invoices dating back to 1996 documents the service history over the years and represents the level of care undertaken to keep the Porsche in such fine condition. The car will additionally be accompanied by its manuals in pouch, a tool roll, and air compressor.
Representing the end of an era for the 911, the 993-generation is considered to be one of the most desirable variants of the model and has achieved exceptional collectable status not only for its place in Porsche history, but for its overall reliability and usability. While the high-horsepower models are often found preserved in collections, the slightly more accessible models were generally put into regular use by their first owners. Today, two decades after production officially ended, finding a low-mileage and well-preserved Carrera S or 4S can be difficult. As such, this C4S warrants serious attention.
Please note that due to California emissions, this vehicle must be sold to a dealer or out-of-state resident.
