2001 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet

This 2001 Porsche 996 Carrera Cabriolet is a highly optioned, two-owner example that has remained with its current owner for 23 years. Finished in Meridian Metallic over a Black full-leather interior, it features a desirable 6-speed manual transmission. This example was factory optioned with 18" 993 Turbo-look wheels, Litronic headlights, Porsche Stability Management (PSM), heated 8-way power seats with memory, and a plethora of Exclusive options including a carbon 3-spoke steering wheel, carbon dashboard and instrument trim, and carbon door-entry guards. Benefiting from a major service that included an IMS bearing replacement, this Carrera Cabriolet is now being offered for auction in New York, showing approximately 58k miles on the odometer.

Finished in Meridian Metallic, a shade briefly offered between 2001 and 2006, this Cabriolet features a black power-operated soft top and a speed-activated rear spoiler as standard. Optional exterior equipment includes flared side skirts, Litronic (xenon) headlights with headlamp washers, and 18" high-gloss 993 Turbo-look wheels mounted with Michelin Pilot Sport tires. The seller notes the tires retain excellent tread although they bear 2016 date codes.

The cabin is trimmed in premium Black full leather, complemented by an extensive suite of Exclusive carbon-fiber appointments adorning the three-spoke steering wheel, instrument surround, dashboard trim strip, center air-vent bracket, and door-entry guards with model logos, along with a leather-covered ignition lock surround. Further optional equipment includes heated 8-way power front seats with driver memory and four-way lumbar support, Porsche crest-embossed headrests, and an on-board computer. The seller notes less-than-normal wear on the driver’s seat. The options list is decoded below:
