One of the most famous sports cars of Germany, if not the world, is the iconic Porsche 911. When it debuted in 1964, it was met with gasps of awe. This car came with an iconic teardrop shape, but that wasn’t its most defining feature. No, that would be the air-cooled engine neatly tucked away in the tail. Given that rear-engined vehicles weren’t receiving the best publicity in the sixties, it was incredibly bold of Porsche to go down this path. However, in true Germanic fashion, they made sure to iron out the kinks before releasing the product. While a 911 must be treated with respect, it is considered to be a pure driver’s car, and a bucket list item for many. So, if you want a contemporary 911 but one that will become a classic soon enough, consider buying this 2003 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S from us.

Exterior and Interior
Wearing a gray paint theme, this 2003 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S relies on its iconic shape and those famous headlamps to do the talking. Coming from the 996 generation, the car wears a paint protection film on its front end too. Everything else is as it left the factory, from the silver five-spoke wheels, to the red brake calipers lurking behind them. This car also appears to have a sunroof, so you can enjoy some open-air thrills. The gray interior of this 2003 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S is a two-plus-two, which means two adults and two children can travel within its comfortable, leather-upholstered confines. The driver receives the famous five-dial instrument binnacle that is a defining feature of the 911, right from the very first ones in 1964. Here, the gauges feature white faces, and there’s a multifunction display beneath for odometer and trip information. Meanwhile, the center stack offers climate control, plus a radio with a CD player. As for the trunk, it’s at the front, since the engine occupies the space behind the passenger cabin.

Engine

Hence, this 2003 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S has a 3.6L flat-six in the tail, with water cooling and a dry-sumped design. The engine is factory rated for 320hp at 6,800rpm, resulting in a top speed of over 170mph. Drive is sent to the rear wheels through a 5-speed automatic gearbox.
