About this car

The 2005 Porsche 911 Carrera S delivers the wide-body stance and rear-engine balance that define the 997 generation. Powered by a 3.8L H6 engine paired with a 6-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel drive, this example has been driven just 33,019 miles while maintaining an exceptionally clean condition inside and out.

Its precise handling, strong acceleration, and responsive feel come from the upgraded brakes and suspension that complement the iconic Carrera S design. The car features a power rear spoiler, bi-xenon headlights with washers, and a sliding steel sunroof, all contributing to its pure sports-car character and strong collector appeal.

Inside, the cabin combines leather and Alcantara surfaces with comprehensive comfort and convenience equipment, including automatic climate control, power seats, cruise control, and a full array of gauges. Every system has been maintained to a high standard, resulting in a turn-key driving experience.

Production

Powertrain
Combustion

The Porsche 911 Carrera S (997 generation) was produced from 2004 to 2012, marking the fifth iteration of the iconic 911 lineup. As part of the 997.1 (2004-2008) and 997.2 (2009-2012) phases, Porsche manufactured approximately 213,000 units of the 997 generation across all variants, with the Carrera S being a popular performance model. Specific production numbers for the Carrera S are not publicly detailed, but its prevalence among enthusiasts suggests a significant share of the total.

The Carrera S initially featured a 3.8-liter flat-six engine in the 997.1, producing 355 horsepower, later upgraded to 385 horsepower in the 997.2 with direct fuel injection. It achieves 0-60 mph in around 4.5 seconds (manual transmission) and a top speed of approximately 182 mph. A key highlight for collectors is the availability of limited editions like the Carrera S Powerkit, offering enhanced performance. The 997 is historically significant as the last 911 generation to widely offer a manual transmission across trims. Value trends show steady appreciation, especially for low-mileage, manual examples, with prices often ranging from $40,000 to $70,000 USD depending on condition and provenance, making it a desirable entry point for exotic car collectors.
