We are proud to present this exceptional and exceedingly rare Porsche 911 (997.2) Carrera 4 Cabriolet. This particular example is a true ‘unicorn’ for the discerning enthusiast and collector: coming straight from its first registered owner, finished entirely in its 100% original factory paint, and specified in the breathtaking, ultra-rare hue of Ipanema Blue Metallic (3AZ).
The 997 Gen. 2 is widely regarded as the ‘sweet spot’ in modern 911 history, offering the perfect balance between an analogue, compact driving experience (featuring hydraulic steering) and the mechanical bulletproofing of the direct-injection (DFI) engines. In this specific configuration—combining the wide-body Carrera 4 silhouette with a traditional 6-speed manual gearbox and a rare factory color—this car is virtually irreplaceable on the European market.
With just 52,460 documented kilometers from new and backed by a Porsche Approved check and full Porsche Maintenance History (5 in total), this vehicle presents in absolute showroom condition both cosmetically and mechanically.
