About this car

The 2005 Porsche 911 Carrera S Cabriolet presents a striking Silver exterior over a Black leather interior, powered by a 3.8L H6 engine paired with a 6-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel drive. With just 20,435 miles, this convertible delivers the signature 911 driving experience through its 3.8L DOHC SMPI aluminum horizontally-opposed 24-valve 6-cylinder engine, Vario-Cam Plus variable valve timing, and Porsche active suspension management system (PASM).

Performance is enhanced by the Porsche stability management (PSM), active brake differential, traction control (ASR), and pwr 4-wheel vented disc brakes with 4-piston monobloc fixed alloy brake calipers. The chassis features independent multi-link rear suspension with coil springs, MacPherson strut front suspension with aluminum components, front and rear stabilizer bars, and force-sensitive power rack-and-pinion steering, all riding on 19-inch Carrera S light alloy wheels with P235/35ZR19 front and P295/30ZR19 rear performance tires.

Inside, the cabin offers 2+2 seating with standard leather upholstery, front bucket seats with length and height adjustments, an Alcantara roof lining, and a leather-wrapped 3-spoke steering wheel with Porsche crest.

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.
