Before stepping into its grand
Natural Brown Leather swathed cabin, you’re first met by ‚Carrera‘ insignia against black door sills, and when inside you can expect to find light-colored stitching, black trim on select areas (such as on the transmission tunnel, brake handle lever, and center console surround trim), and brown carpeting. The driver is welcomed by a 4-spoke steering wheel; black instrumentation dials situated behind orange needles; the satisfying-to-the-touch shifter of the emotive 6-speed transmission. Front occupants are embraced by power-adjustable seats that are notably characterized by perforations and detailed stitch work and and can expect in-cabin audio playback via the optioned Hi-Fi Sound System, featuring 10-speakers.
The 996.1’s Specialty: It’s no secret that the 911, regardless of trim, is committed to unwavering motoring excellence and is truly in a realm of its own, however, with the 996.1 911 (in comparison to the even more contemporary 911) this experience is heightened! It’s the 911 whose exterior design aesthetic was first previewed on the multi-million dollar 911 GT1 Evolution and the manual operated 996.1 Carrera Cabriolet is the lightest modern-era, rear-wheel-drive 911 Carrera convertibles, weighing in at approximately 3,075 lbs.! With the 996, you are reverted back to a time of pure driving simplicity, where electronic driving aids are at a minimum, the connection to the road is genuinely felt, and the car’s soul is alive and well even when not being driven!
