Delivered in Germany on January 2, 2003: A Porsche with a Story
On a cold winter day in Germany, January 2, 2003, this iconic Porsche 996 Carrera 4S rolled out of the showroom. A vehicle steeped in the rich history and precision that Porsche is renowned for. From that moment, the adventure of this stunning sports car began, an adventure that has now brought it to our showroom in Katwijk aan Zee, where it stands today, shining bright.
Perfectly maintained: The assurance of a reliable 996
A Porsche is not just any car; it is a promise of speed, precision, and ultimate driving pleasure. This 996 Carrera 4S is no exception. The maintenance history of this car is a testament to the care and attention it has received. In 2015, at a mileage of 126, 834 km, the crucial IMS bearing was replaced with an upgraded DOF bearing. This is an essential component for the reliability of the 996, and the upgrade provides peace of mind for the new owner.
During the same maintenance, the engine mounts, the Hardy disc of the front driveshaft, and a full oil service were also performed. This Porsche has always been maintained by Porsche specialists, and a detailed datasheet is available with all the maintenance records the car has undergone. The last major service was in 2023, where the oil was changed and the front brakes were replaced. In 2020, both the front and rear discs and pads were replaced, along with the water pump. The shock absorbers were renewed in 2019. Thanks to this attention to detail and maintenance, this 996 Carrera 4S is now an extremely well-kept and enjoyable car to drive.
A car cared for with love and passion: A trusted source
We acquired this Porsche from a trusted acquaintance, someone who is just as passionate about the Porsche 911 as we are. This car has always been treated with love and dedication, which is clearly visible in the car's condition. Every kilometer this Porsche has driven reflects a passion for driving and a deep respect for what the 911 represents.
The rich history of the Porsche 911: The 996 in the Spotlight
The Porsche 911, a name synonymous with speed and elegance, has a long and illustrious history. The 996 generation, introduced in 1998, brought a revolutionary change to the design of the 911. It was the first 911 to feature a water-cooled engine, a necessary step to meet increasingly stringent emissions standards and to elevate performance to the next level.
The 996 Carrera 4S is a special model within this generation. With its wider body, inherited from the 911 Turbo, and the characteristic red reflector strip connecting the taillights, the 4S is one of the most visually impressive 911 models. The interior is luxurious yet sporty, perfectly balanced to offer both comfort and a pure driving experience.
The driving pleasure of a Porsche 996 Carrera 4S: A sensation on wheels
Driving a Porsche 996 Carrera 4S is an experience that is hard to put into words. The feeling of the engine roaring as you press the accelerator, the perfect balance in corners thanks to the all-wheel-drive, and the direct steering make every drive an adventure. It’s not just a car; it’s an extension of the driver, a symbiosis between man and machine.
The headlights of the 996, once controversial, are now seen as iconic and beloved by collectors. They’ve earned nicknames like "fried egg" due to their unique shape and have become a symbol of this distinctive generation.
