About this car

The 2005 Porsche 911 Carrera convertible presents in Arctic Silver Metallic with a Black leather interior. This rear-wheel-drive example is powered by a 3.6L H6 engine with VarioCam Plus variable valve timing that delivers 325 horsepower through a 5-speed automatic transmission with Tiptronic S. The car rides on 18-inch Carrera III light alloy wheels wrapped in P235/40ZR18 front and P265/40ZR18 rear performance tires and shows 45,429 miles.

Power is delivered via a double inertia flywheel and longitudinal-mounted engine with an engine oil cooler. The chassis features MacPherson strut front suspension with aluminum components, independent multi-link rear suspension, front and rear stabilizer bars, force-sensitive power rack-and-pinion steering, and four-wheel vented disc brakes with four-piston monobloc fixed alloy calipers. Porsche Stability Management, Active Brake Differential, Traction Control, and ABS with four-channel operation provide composed handling, while a 16.9-gallon fuel tank supports extended drives.

The power-operated double-lined soft top includes a manual wind blocker and a speed-dependent extendable rear spoiler. Exterior equipment comprises H7 projector halogen headlights, power-heated color-keyed mirrors, rain-sensing wipers, front and rear fog lights, and body-colored bumpers. Inside, the 2+2 cabin offers full leather trim, heated power front bucket seats with length and height adjustments, 50/50 folding rear seats, a leather-wrapped three-spoke steering wheel with Porsche crest, automatic climate control with carbon filter, and a PCM system with 5.8-inch color display, AM/FM stereo, in-dash CD player, and nine speakers.

About the Porsche 911 Carrera 997

Production

Cylinders

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.
