Offering all-wheel-drive, naturally aspirated performance coupled with the wide body styling and large Brembo brakes of the Turbo model, the Carrera 4S remains one of the most sought-after air-cooled cars of all time. This 1996 example is finished in Midnight Blue Metallic over a Black leather interior and features a 6-speed manual transmission along with various factory-exclusive additional leather elements. It was further optioned with heated and power-adjustable front seats, pleated front and rear leather seats, cruise control, a sunroof, and more. Showing approximately 47k miles on the odometer, this C4S is now available for auction by its seller out of Texas.
Compared to the standard 993 Carrera, the 4S showcases the wider bodywork and bumpers of the 911 Turbo. This example is finished in Midnight Blue Metallic (L39C) and rides on 18” 911 Turbo wheels featuring optional colored Porsche-crested center caps. Equipment also includes front fog lights, a speed-activated rear spoiler, dual exhaust outlets, and red-painted brake calipers with white Porsche lettering. The seller recommends replacing the tires due to age. Detailed images are provided in the gallery along with a clean CARFAX report.
The Black (LG) leather interior was exclusively optioned with additional leather covering the center console panel, center console button panels, slots behind the parking brake, speaker covers, and dashboard trim. An upgraded Porsche head unit has been fitted, and very minor wear is noted. A list of factory options is provided below:
- C02 – Code related to emissions
- XF6 - Leather covered panel of the centre console (under handbrake lever)
- XF7 - Leather cover for tray or cassette slots behind parking brake
- XP9 - Leather covered speaker covers
- X19 - Leather covered dashboard trim, color to sample
- X43 - Leather cover for centre console button panels
- 139 - Seat heating, left
- 340 - Seat heating, right
- 437 - 8-way electrical seat, left
- 438 - 8-way electrical seat, right
- 445 - Wheel caps (Steel Grey) with colored Porsche crest

- 650 - Sun-moon-roof
- 659 - Board computer
- 688 - CD-radio Becker Porsche CDR-210 USA
- 939 - Pleated leather rear seats
- 982 - Pleated leather front seats
Powered by an air-cooled 3.6-liter flat-six engine, the C4S sends up to 282 HP and 250 lb.-ft. of torque to all four wheels by way of a 6-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. No outstanding maintenance items have been reported, and the CARFAX report shows three service history entries.
This sale will include a clean title.
The seller would like you to know: “This is a great quality air-cooled 911, driver quality and relatively low miles for the age of the vehicle. The dark blue exterior is very handsome and is often complimented. The interior shows very well, and the car runs superbly.”

Can you upload any or all service receipts for this car? How long was this vehicle owned by the current owner & how many miles have been driven under their current ownership?
@Roeser33 Thank you. Appreciate your feedback. 2 months ago I was in Redmond, WA meeting with Nathan Merz and a couple of his cars. I got quite an education including paint, from one of the best,
@chardo6 metallic paints are always higher than flat paints because they are two stage vs. the single stage paint used on 90s eras Porsches (among other mfg.) It looks like a very light, professional respray to me, although I do have some original metallic paint cars with 10-11 mil readings and LOW miles.
I have brought a lot of cars over from Europe (as I see this was in Germany according to seller) The Germans really drive their cars that is for sure, i've noticed it is also super common to repaint their cars, especially the front end. They don't adhere to the same stigma Americans have about original paint, etc. They also are not obsessed with PPF film like us yankees!
This looks to be a super clean example here that presents super well in my opinion. I'd love to see this example with the wheel centers painted to match, that would be the icing on the cake for this gorgeous lady :-) Can't beat a widebody 993. . . always someone looking to add to their stable!
@mgarciagtz I am available to show the car late today, or all day tomorrow.
Bid in the amount of $79,000
Hello, i am in San Antonio today, can i see the car?
@Jeepnjoe thank you
@Chardo6 the paint looks very good. Not many scratches or blemishes.
Just an observation…the codes show 8 way electrical left and right seat but pics show 4 way? Am I missing something? Thank you
Nice car. The paint readings are off the charts. Normal original would show 3.5 to 6. That’s ok. How does the hood and front bumper paint look? Stone chips, etc. Thank you!

8pxCkr thank you for looking at my auction. The interior is black, just seems to look like dark gray in some photos. In regard to any type of repaint that I cannot verify. I can say that the overall appearance of the paint finish is VERY good and seems to be even throughout the car.
Beautiful 993. The interior looks more like a dark gray than black in the photos, but that could be the lighting/processing. Can you confirm this is standard black leather or a special order dark gray, which I have seen on these, but was not a standard color. Based on the meter readings it looks like the car has been resprayed. Any details on that work, when it was performed, why, etc.?
I do want to mention that the car was in Germany for a while and obviously from the miles that were put on the car it found a home in a collection. Those of you that have been around enthusiast cars from Germany can attest that these cars are generally VERY well-maintained examples that are coveted the world over.
@Greyeti Thank you for the question regarding this 911. We do have several documents from when the car was in Germany. This sale will include those documents as well.
