Porsche’s 911 has become the German brand’s iconic model, and any mention of Porsche sparks a mental image of the distinctive silhouette of one of these rear-engined sports cars. Sold all over the world since 1964, these cars naturally found a firm footing in North America as well. Here’s one such example, a 2004 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S Cabriolet from the 996 generation that ran between 1997 and 2005. With just 32,000 miles, it’s a perfect example to consider.
The Porsche 911’s silhouette is one of those things that must remain through all generations, and designers work around it to ensure that they create something fresh and futuristic through each generation, whilst remaining faithful to the original design cues. This 2004 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S Cabriolet showcases what was in vogue for the mid Nineties to early Two Thousands period, in its Basalt Black Metallic coat, with matching black convertible top. Stainless steel exhaust pipes add a touch of silver, as do the iconic five-spoke Porsche alloy wheels. The interior is a black full leather affair with seating for four occupants, although rear occupants should ideally be small-made adults, or children. You get black mats with Porsche lettering, a Bose high end audio package, aluminum instrument dials, rear center console, aluminum and leather gear shifter and parking brake handle, dual-zone climate control, and cruise control, as well as the obligatory powered niceties such as electric windows, mirrors, and door locks.
Since 1964, every Porsche 911 has had its heart hung out behind the rear axle, typically a flat-six heart that powers the rear wheels, that was initially air-cooled, with the big switch to water cooling taking over for the 996 generation. This 2004 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S Cabriolet is no different, with a 3.6L water-cooled flat-six developing 315hp and sending it to all four wheels via a six-speed manual transmission. The performance stats are an impressive 5 seconds in the zero-to-sixty sprint, with a top speed rated just over 170mph. Braking is accomplished via ventilated discs on all wheels.

Porsche’s epic 911 was introduced in September 1964, with a shape that endures to this day. Upon launch, the car came with a naturally aspirated flat-six in its tail that was air cooled. But, eleven years later, the first 911 Turbo came about with the 930 generation. Boy, was it a fearsome car. With its rear-engined rear-wheel drive layout, the Turbo really challenged drivers, especially when boost came on. In those days, we didn’t have the smooth and progressive forced induction trait that we take for granted. No, it was about calm…and then BOOST! That sudden kick could really catch drivers out, which is why early 911 Turbos are so fearsome despite their relatively modest power figures. In contrast, modern examples such as this 2016 Porsche 911 Turbo S are docile in comparison. Yes, this 13,975-mile car from Pepper Pike packs 552 horses in its tail and commands respect to drive but it’s not actively trying to bite your head off. In fact, its rather pleasing and of course thrilling to drive. Plus, it comes with the Mahogany interior package, an electric glass tilt-and-slide sunroof, Power Steering Plus, and so much more.
As the predecessor of the 911, and the first production car by Porsche, there’s a lot of history behind the 356, and it’s no surprise that there are people around the world who continue to find ways to pay homage to what is an iconic piece of motoring history. Classic Motor Carriages’ 1987 Porsche 356 Speedster Replica is one of them. Built to maintain the original Porsche design on the road, this car retains the original vehicle’s appearance and features, with some tasteful enhancements. Still, it has a Porsche heart keeping it going, and with only over 11,100 miles on the clock, you know that this is a car that will keep on going.
Porsche’s Cayman is the fixed-head coupe variant of the Boxster two-seat mid-engined sports car by Porsche. Introduced in 2005 with the Boxster’s second generation, the Cayman has become a fine choice for those who want to experience the Porsche lifestyle, but prefer a metal roof over a canvas one. Here, we have a 2014 Porsche Cayman from the third generation of the Boxster/Cayman legacy up for sale in Mechanicsville, Virginia. This example has done just over 23,000 miles and features a fine flat six paired with an automatic transmission for an easy drive.
