Description
The Porsche 911 – Type 996 heralded a new era in the life of the world’s most famous race car. After 35 years of production, Porsche chose a new and bold direction with the fifth generation of the 911. The time had come to make some radical changes, both in terms of the design and the body as well as the engine. The stricter emission standards and the fact that the maximum output of the air-cooled engine had been reached prompted the switch to a water-cooled engine.
The 996 was unveiled at the 1997 Frankfurt Auto Show and although the new design received a cool reception from purists, the new ‘11’ stood its ground. A rear-wheel drive coupé, fitted with a 3. 4 L water-cooled boxer engine (300 hp), was available from 1998 onwards.
A second generation of the 996 was available from 2002. The engine increased from 3. 4L up to 3. 6L, the interior received an update and a ‘Targa’ and ‘4S’ version were added to the range
The 996 4S received the same suspension, brake system and body as the Turbo version.
‘Collection by Vermant’ is pleased to offer you this Porsche 996 4S Convertible, which was built in April 2004. It is equipped with a 3. 6 L, 6-cylinder engine with an output of 320 hp. A 6-speed manual gearbox brings the power to the 4 wheels.
The 996 was delivered new to its first owner on 28th April 2004 by Porsche Centre Cardiff, United Kingdom. It is finished in ‘Bazalt Black’, with a black full leather interior.

In 2017 the car came over from England to Belgium to be part of a private car collection. The car has been completely checked and serviced with no expenses spared in 2018. New Michelin Pilot Sport tyres, full service, new air conditioning, new display for heating system, upgraded navigation,… New LHD headlights were installed at that time as well.
The current (Belgian) owner - Official car dealer with 5 dealerships – drove the car in in Southern Spain during holidays and comes with a Spanish registration. All import taxes have been paid.
Since then, this 4S Coupé, which is still in good condition, has been driven a paltry 108, 300 km! The original livery, decals… have been preserved as is.
The 911 comes with the original books and a spare key
