2015 Porsche 911 Carrera 4
View on RP InventoryWhat makes this one special
This 2015 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 Cabriolet is everything the 991 generation did right: naturally aspirated flat-six power, all-wheel-drive confidence, and a power soft top that transforms character at the press of a button. Finished in classic Black over Black, it wears a sleek, understated look that lets the iconic silhouette speak for itself.
Power comes from the 3.4-liter naturally aspirated flat-six paired with Porsche's Doppelkupplung (PDK) seven-speed dual-clutch transmission—lightning-fast shifts and the control to let the driver decide exactly how involved they want to be. The 20-inch 911 Turbo Design wheels fill the arches perfectly, adding visual menace and a touch of the halo car's DNA. Bi-Xenon headlights, dual-zone automatic climate control, and Porsche Communication Management (PCM) round out the equipment, ensuring this Cabriolet is as comfortable on long coastal drives as it is carving canyon roads.
With just over 30,000 miles covered, this 991 has been properly enjoyed while retaining the precision and build quality Porsche is known for. It's a driver's car in the truest sense—engaging, analog in spirit, and ready for open skies.
The model history
The Story of the 991.1 Carrera 4 Cabriolet
When the 991-generation 911 arrived for the 2012 model year, it represented the most significant evolution of the icon in decades. The wheelbase stretched by 100 millimeters, the body grew wider, and the chassis was lighter thanks to extensive use of aluminum and high-strength steel. The result was a car that felt more planted, more capable, and somehow more 911 than ever. The Carrera 4 models brought Porsche's sophisticated all-wheel-drive system to the table, blending rear-biased handling with the confidence to deploy every bit of power in any conditions.
The 991.1 Carrera 4—covering model years 2012 through 2015—was powered by a 3.4-liter naturally aspirated flat-six producing 350 horsepower. It was the last of the naturally aspirated base Carreras, a fact that has only grown in significance as the 991.2 switched to turbocharged engines in 2016. The flat-six howl, the linear power delivery, the tactile connection—these are the qualities that make the 991.1 increasingly collectible among enthusiasts who prize driving feel over outright numbers.
The Cabriolet added another dimension: the ability to drop the top in just 13 seconds, even while moving at speeds up to 30 mph. It turned the 911 into an event every time you fired it up, especially with the sport exhaust crackling behind your head. Combined with PDK's seamless shifts and the all-weather capability of the Carrera 4 system, the 991.1 Cabriolet became one of the most versatile daily-driver sports cars ever built.
Today, the 991.1 occupies a sweet spot in the market. It's modern enough to live with every day—reliable, refined, equipped with contemporary tech—but analog enough to feel special every time you drive it. As the last naturally aspirated base Carrera, it represents the end of an era, and the market is beginning to take notice.
Fun fact
The 991 generation was the first 911 to use electric power steering instead of hydraulic, a change that sparked fierce debate among purists but allowed Porsche to fine-tune steering feel through software and improve fuel efficiency.
