About this car

The 2005 Porsche 911 Carrera S delivers the signature blend of performance and refinement that defines the 997 generation. Finished in Dark Blue, this coupe pairs its sleek, aerodynamic profile with a 3.8L H6 engine and rear-wheel-drive layout. The automatic transmission shifts smoothly, allowing the flat-six to deliver its characteristic response whether cruising or accelerating.

Inside, the Leather-appointed cabin provides a driver-focused environment with supportive seating for four. At 68,357 miles, this example has been maintained to preserve the precision and balance Porsche is known for. The overall dimensions—178.8 inches long, 79.7 inches wide, and 51.3 inches tall—contribute to its planted stance and agile handling.

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.
