Currently listed for sale on AutoHunter is this 2001 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet. As part of the 996 series — the first of the water-cooled 911s — this Carrera is powered by a 3.4-liter flat-six paired with a six-speed manual transmission. Features include accessory hardtop, dark maple burl woodgrain trim, full suite of power accessories, and more. Painted Black Metallic with black top and tan leather interior, this 911 comes from the selling dealer with an AutoCheck report and a clear title.
The Black Metallic hue is matched by a power-operated convertible top plus an accessory hardtop. Other exterior features include tinted glass (including a graduated tinted windshield), dual power-operated side mirrors, active rear spoiler, and more. A set of 19-inch black wheels are wrapped in staggered-width Michelin Pilot Sport S radials: 255/35 (front) and 295/30 (rear).
The tan leather cabin features bucket seats and a center console with manual shifter. Other interior features include dark maple burl trim, cruise control, air conditioning, power steering with telescoping column, power windows and locks, and factory infotainment system that includes AM/FM stereo with cassette and CD changer in trunk.
Instrumentation includes a 175-mph speedometer, 8,000-rpm tachometer, and gauges for the oil pressure, voltage, coolant temperature, and fuel. The odometer currently shows 83,305 miles.
The 3.4-liter flat-six was originally rated for 296 horsepower and 258 ft-lb of torque. It is controlled by a six-speed manual. The stock IMS bearing has been replaced with one from LN Engineering.
The undercarriage features MacPherson struts up front, power four-wheel ventilated disc brakes with fixed four-piston calipers, 3.44 gears, and dual exhausts.
The Porsche 911 arguably has the greatest lineage of any car ever built, with each iteration offering something for enthusiasts. The 996 that’s the subject of this AutoHunter Spotlight instigated changes that brought the 911 up levels not previously seen. With a six-speed manual and a folding top, this 2001 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet is practically the perfect car, able to manage the rigors of daily life, let the sun in, and handle whatever you put in its way. You’d think everyone would be lining up for a car with so many competencies like this one, so bid before Tuesday, May 26, 2026, at 11:30 a.m. (PDT) or it will become someone else’s fun daily driver.
