About this car

The 2005 Porsche 911 Carrera S Cabriolet stands out with its Slate Gray Metallic finish over a Leather Interior in Special Color - Terracotta. Powered by a 3.8L naturally aspirated flat-six that produces 355 horsepower, the car pairs that engine with a six-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel drive. At 69,893 miles, it carries the Sport Chrono Package Plus along with several exclusive options that include deviations from standard specification.

The cabriolet roof is finished in black. Nineteen-inch SportDesign wheels wear caps with colored Porsche crests. Inside, the instrument dials match the Terracotta leather, while adaptive sport seats, a leather instrument surround, a three-spoke multifunction steering wheel in smooth leather, and a rear center console in leather complete the cabin. A BOSE surround sound system, navigation module for PCM, and telephone module are also fitted.

Standard equipment includes VarioCam Plus variable valve timing, Porsche Active Suspension Management, bi-Xenon headlights with washers, rain-sensing wipers, power-operated double-lined soft top, and a speed-dependent rear spoiler. The braking system features four-piston monobloc calipers on vented discs with ABS, PSM, and active brake differential. Interior details extend to automatic climate control with carbon filter, power windows with one-touch operation, HomeLink, and an alarm system with radar interior surveillance.

Production

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.
