About this car

This 2005 Porsche 911 Carrera S Cabriolet delivers the signature blend of open-air freedom and rear-engine performance that defines the 911 lineage. Finished in Red over a Black interior, the convertible pairs its retractable soft top with a naturally aspirated 3.8L H6 engine and rear-wheel-drive layout, producing the balanced handling and distinctive sound expected from Porsche’s flagship sports car.

Power is delivered through an automatic transmission, while the chassis benefits from the model’s wider stance and upgraded suspension components that distinguish the Carrera S from standard 911 variants. With 85,131 miles recorded, this example offers a compelling combination of classic 911 character and everyday usability, supported by EPA estimates of 22 mpg city and 28 mpg highway on premium unleaded fuel.

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.
