About this car

The 2005 Porsche 911 Carrera S Cabriolet is finished in Arctic Silver Metallic with Full Leather Black upholstery. It is powered by a 3.8L H6 engine rated at 355 horsepower and paired with a six-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel drive. The car shows 58,746 miles.

Its chassis uses MacPherson strut front suspension with aluminum components, an independent multi-link rear suspension with coil springs, front and rear stabilizer bars, and the Porsche Active Suspension Management system. Braking is handled by power four-wheel vented discs with four-piston monobloc fixed alloy calipers, ABS, active brake differential, traction control, and Porsche Stability Management. The car rides on 19-inch Carrera S light alloy wheels fitted with P235/35ZR19 front and P295/30ZR19 rear performance tires.

The power-operated double-lined soft top includes a manual wind blocker and a speed-dependent extendable rear spoiler. Lighting consists of Bi-Xenon headlights with dynamic leveling and headlamp washers. Inside are front bucket seats with power backrest adjustment, folding rear seat backrests, a leather-wrapped three-spoke steering wheel with Porsche crest, automatic climate control with carbon filter, and a PCM system with 5.8-inch color display, CD player, and nine speakers.

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.
