Details

This final-year 1998 Porsche 911 Carrera 2S was a limited-production offering with “widebody” styling derived from the Turbo and rear-wheel drive. With a factory Arena Red exterior and a gray leather interior, this example is powered by an air-cooled 3.6-liter flat-6 engine, rated at 282hp with 251 ft/lbs of torque. It is also equipped with a hydraulic valvetrain and VarioRam intake system with variable-length runners. A Tiptronic 4-speed automatic transmission delivers the best of both worlds with its manual capability on demand and sends its power to the road via a rear transaxle driving 18-inch Turbo Twist wheels. Offered from the last year of availability for Porsche’s air-cooled 993-series 911 models, this example features Carrera 2S specification. Options and amenities include air conditioning, a radio and CD player. According to known history, this 911 Carrera 2S was delivered new in Pennsylvania, eventually migrating to California before its purchase in Texas by the current owner/collector. Accompanying items include two keys, a leather bra and mirror covers, recently installed new battery and battery tender. Documents include a written summary and a list of vehicle features from the current owner’s purchase. From The Gilstrap Collection.
