This 2003 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S is finished in iconic Speed Yellow over Black full leather with Speed Yellow deviated stitching and matching Speed Yellow hardback sport seats. Originally delivered through Braman Motorcars in Palm Beach, Florida, this is believed to be one of the most heavily optioned 996 Carreras delivered to North America, carrying over $50,000 in factory options when new, equivalent to more than $90,000 today. Cars like this simply do not come around often. 

At the heart of this Carrera 4S is the highly coveted X51 Power Kit, a factory performance upgrade that transformed the already excellent 3.6L flat six into something far more special. Featuring revised cylinder heads, camshafts, intake components, and ECU mapping, the X51 package adds roughly 30 horsepower and gives the car a noticeably sharper, more eager personality throughout the rev range. Combined with the widebody Carrera 4S chassis, this is one of the most exciting and desirable analog 911 driving experiences of the era. 

The cabin feels every bit as special as the spec sheet suggests. Speed Yellow hardback sport seats, full leather trim, and deviated stitching create an unmistakably early 2000s Porsche atmosphere that feels both purposeful and incredibly well optioned. The driving experience is further elevated with a PCCM+ head unit paired to the factory Bose sound system, seamlessly adding Apple CarPlay functionality while maintaining a clean OEM appearance. 

This example spent much of its life between Boca Raton, Florida and New York under long term ownership before entering an estate in 2022, where it remained in storage. Prior to storage, several maintenance items were addressed including the air filter, brake pads and sensors, plenum and gasket, clutch start switch, rear emblem, rearview mirror, multifunction switch, washer pump, and wiper system components. 

Cosmetically, the car presents well overall, though the rear C-pillar trim shows some wear from earlier sun exposure. While the CARFAX is clean, paintwork was performed to the hood, front bumper, and driver’s side panels at some point in the car’s life. Although extensive service documentation beyond the CARFAX history is not available, underside inspection confirms the presence of an LN Engineering oil fed permanent IMS bearing solution, an incredibly desirable upgrade for long term peace of mind. Prior to sale, we completed a fresh oil service and brake fluid flush, making this rare and highly specified Carrera 4S ready for its next caretaker.
