About this car

The 2005 Porsche 911 Carrera S pairs a 3.8L H6 engine with an automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive. This example shows a Silver exterior over Black leather interior and has accumulated 10,000 miles. The car rides on 19-inch Carrera S light alloy wheels fitted with P235/35ZR19 front and P295/30ZR19 rear performance tires, and it includes the Porsche Active Suspension Management system.

Power comes through a 3.8L DOHC aluminum horizontally opposed six with VarioCam Plus variable valve timing, Motronic ME 7.8 engine management, and a double inertia flywheel. MacPherson strut front suspension with aluminum components and an independent multi-link rear suspension with coil springs and stabilizer bars support the chassis. A 16.9-gallon fuel tank feeds the engine, while force-sensitive power rack-and-pinion steering and four-wheel disc brakes with ABS complete the mechanical specification.

Body details include a power sliding sunroof, speed-dependent extendable rear spoiler, bi-xenon headlights with washers, heated power mirrors, and rain-sensing wipers. Inside, the 2+2 cabin offers full leather upholstery, automatic climate control with carbon filter, power windows and locks, cruise control, Homelink, remote releases, and a Bose surround sound system with CD player. Additional equipment comprises an alarm system with interior surveillance, stability and traction control, rear window defogger, and folding rear seat backrests.

Cylinders

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.
