PORSCHE 996 CARRERA 4 TIPTRONIC S - 1998

ORIGINAL ITALIAN CAR - 118,000 KM

First registered on November 27, 1998, this Porsche 996 Carrera 4 Tiptronic is a rare gem among youngtimers.

Owned by the same person since 2002, who carefully drove about 95,000 km in over 20 years.

This is an original Italian car, still equipped with its first registration license plates.

Beautiful and refined color combination: metallic blue exterior paired with optional soft grey leather interior—a rare and elegant choice.

Equipped with the Tiptronic S automatic gearbox, combining the comfort of an automatic with the possibility of manual gear selection for a more dynamic drive.

Meticulously maintained, always serviced by official Porsche dealers, with recent service invoices available. The car has always passed Italy's biannual technical inspections on time.

In 2019, it was granted both the Certificate of Historical Significance (CRS) granting access to historic vehicle benefits such as tax and insurance reductions and the prestigious ASI Gold Plate.

The Porsche 996 marks a major turning point in the history of the 911: it was the first generation with a water-cooled engine, introduced in 1997 as the successor to the air-cooled 993.

With its sleek, modern design and high-performance engineering, the 996 laid the foundation for the modern era of Porsche.

This particular 1998 Carrera 4 version features permanent all-wheel drive, significantly enhancing grip, traction and safety in all driving conditions, especially on wet or slippery surfaces.

Combined with the 3.4-liter flat-six engine, producing 300 hp, this configuration offers excellent road handling and driving dynamics.

Equipped with the Tiptronic S gearbox, including steering wheel controls, the car offers the convenience of an automatic transmission with the option of sporty manual gear selection when desired.

The elegant metallic blue exterior is paired with a rare optional soft grey leather interior, giving the car a classic yet refined look.

The car is in excellent condition, both inside and out.
