2002 Porsche 911 Carrera (996.2)

Porsche gave the 911 Carrera a crucial refresh for its 2002 model year, launching the 996.2 generation with a 3.6-liter engine, updated exterior styling derived from the Turbo, and infotainment upgrades. Yet, the ugly headlight design was carried over.

Contemporary looks for a modern classic with a refreshed exterior design

Sleeker headlights, reshaped front and rear fascias, contoured bodylines, and a bevy of color options give the 996.2 a fresh look while maintaining its iconic 911 silhouette.

Improved performance with a more powerful 3.6-liter flat-six engine

Forget about the underpowered 3.4-liter engine; the 2002 Porsche 911 Carrera's new 3.6-liter produces 320 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque to run from 0-60 mph in five seconds and a top speed of 177 mph.

Classic 911 proportions with modern aerodynamic enhancements

Reshaped front air intakes, wheel arch lips, and an automatically deploying rear spoiler improve airflow and stability at speed.

Extensive safety features for peace of mind

Dual front airbags, side airbags, and a range of electronic aids, such as ABS and Brake Assist, provide comprehensive protection for occupants.

Sport-tuned suspension for sharp handling

The optional sport suspension, featuring firmer springs, dampers, and anti-roll bars, sharpens the 911's already impressive handling capabilities.

Supportive and comfortable sports seats

Leather-upholstered sports seats with enhanced bolstering provide excellent support during spirited driving while remaining comfortable for long-distance cruising.

Advanced infotainment system for the era

Optional Porsche Communication Management (PCM) system with a 5.8-inch screen, navigation, and Bose audio system keeps occupants informed and entertained.

Clever secondary storage solutions

Thoughtful storage spaces, including door pockets, a compact glove box, and a rear parcel shelf, make the most of the 911's interior space.
