About this car

This 2005 Porsche 911 Carrera S Coupe presents in striking Carmon Red Metallic over a Terracotta Leather interior, delivering the classic 911 driving experience with 74,680 miles of documented use. Powered by a naturally aspirated 3.8-liter flat-six engine paired with a precise six-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel drive, the car combines balanced handling with the distinctive character of Porsche’s air-cooled successor platform.

The Carrera S specification brings enhanced performance credentials, including a wider stance and upgraded braking system over the standard Carrera. With a curb weight kept low through intelligent engineering and a low center of gravity, this coupe offers responsive steering and composed high-speed stability. Fuel economy is rated at 22 mpg city and 29 mpg highway when driven with restraint.

Finished in its original exterior hue and complemented by the rich Terracotta cabin, this example retains the timeless proportions and purposeful design that define the 997-generation 911. Every element—from the sculpted bodywork to the driver-focused cockpit—reflects Porsche’s commitment to precision and driver engagement.

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.
