About this car

The 2005 Porsche 911 Carrera S delivers the signature 997 experience with its 3.8L H6 engine paired to a six-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel drive. Finished in Basalt Black Metallic over Sand Beige Leather, this coupe has covered 143,224 miles while retaining the sharp handling and everyday usability that define the model.

Key engineering features include Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM), Porsche Stability Management (PSM), and an active brake differential that sharpen responses on both road and track. The 19-inch Carrera S wheels are wrapped in performance tires, and the power-operated sunroof, rain-sensing wipers, and speed-dependent rear spoiler add refined convenience to the classic silhouette.

Inside, the 2+2 cabin features standard leather upholstery, a leather-wrapped three-spoke steering wheel with Porsche crest, and an Alcantara headliner. The PCM system with its 5.8-inch color display, nine-speaker audio, HomeLink, and automatic climate control with carbon filter keep the cockpit comfortable and connected on longer drives.

About the Porsche 911 Carrera S 997

Production: 2004–2012
Cylinders: 6
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.
