'KV53 FBJ' is a genuine low mileage (15,826) one owner 996 series Carrera 4S presented in the highly attractive colour combination of Arctic Silver Metallic bodywork and Metropole Blue leather upholstery. This stunning Porsche is equipped with the much-favoured manual gearbox and has been exclusively maintained from new buy Porsche Centre Silverstone, and boasts services at 4,564, 5,683, 6,484, 11,906 and 14,000 miles. The impressive specification includes: 18 inch Turbo II wheels; rear park assist; rear wiper; BOSE sound system; 6 CD autochanger; and part-electric sports seats. It is now being offered complete with its full complement of owners' manuals and pair of original keys.
Designed by Pinky Lai, the 996 series 911 was manufactured between 1997 and 2004 and is notable for featuring the first new chassis platform since the model's introduction in 1963, and being the first variant to be powered by a water- rather than air-cooled engine. It replaced the popular 993 series from which only the suspension and six-speed manual gearbox were retained, be it in revised form. Introduced in 2002, the Carrera 4S (or C4S) derivative shared the wide-body look of the Turbo, as well as its brakes and suspension. Its dry sump 3.6-litre engine produced a healthy 320bhp at 6,800rpm; enough to propel the car from rest to 60mph in 5.0 seconds and then on to a potential terminal speed of no less than 174mph.
The extraordinary story of the 911 is one of 55 years of development over design, that's completely overcome the handling challenges created by the combination a light front end and a rear-mounted engine. It is extraordinary to think that it is now 40 years since Porsche itself attempted to replace the model with the very different 928, and yet it is still one of the cars to own, bar none.
