About this car

The 2005 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet pairs Atlas Grey Metallic paint with a Black leather interior and a 3.6L H6 engine mated to a six-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel drive. At 89,990 miles the car retains the compact proportions and low stance of the 997 generation, with a power-operated convertible roof and rollover protection system integrated into the body structure.

Power windows, heated power side mirrors, rain-sensing intermittent front wipers, and front fog lights handle daily use, while a rear spoiler, aluminum alloy wheels, and hydraulic power steering maintain the model’s handling focus. Inside, the cabin features leather upholstery on bucket front seats with power adjustments for both driver and passenger, a split-folding rear seat, leather-trimmed center console and dash, alloy and leather shift knob, and leather-wrapped tilt and telescopic steering wheel.

Climate control is automatic with a single zone, supported by a rear window defogger. Audio consists of an AM/FM radio with single-disc in-dash CD player. Driver aids include four-wheel ABS, stability control, traction control, dual front airbags, front side airbags, and front side curtain airbags, along with an alarm system and power door locks. Additional controls comprise cruise control, keyless entry, a garage door opener transmitter, a tachometer, trip odometer, and clock.

Powertrain
Combustion

The Porsche 911 Carrera 997, part of the fifth generation of the iconic 911 lineup, was produced between 2004 and 2012 (model years 2005-2012). Approximately 213,000 units were manufactured across all variants during its production run, making it less rare than some earlier 911 generations but still desirable among collectors for its balance of modern engineering and classic Porsche design. The 997 Carrera base model featured a 3.6-liter flat-six engine, producing 325 horsepower, while the Carrera S offered a 3.8-liter version with 355 horsepower. Performance highlights include a 0-60 mph time of around 4.8 seconds for the Carrera S with a top speed nearing 182 mph.

For exotic car collectors, the 997 holds appeal due to its historical significance as a return to a more rounded, classic 911 aesthetic after the controversial 996 design. Special editions like the 997 GT3 RS and Turbo models are particularly sought after, with limited production numbers and track-focused engineering. Value trends show steady appreciation, especially for low-mileage examples and manual transmission variants, as the 997 is often seen as one of the last analog-feeling 911s before the shift to more digital systems in later generations.
