About this car

The 2005 Porsche 911 Carrera S Cabriolet delivers open-air performance in a timeless package finished in Black with a matching Black leather interior. Powered by a 3.8L H6 engine paired with a six-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel drive, this low-mileage example shows just 28,490 miles and remains true to the 997 generation’s sharp handling character.

Every detail reflects Porsche’s engineering focus, from the PASM sport suspension and 19-inch Carrera S wheels to the power-operated double-lined soft top and speed-dependent rear spoiler. Bi-Xenon headlights with washers, rain-sensing wipers, and heated power mirrors complete the exterior, while the cabin features dual power seats, automatic climate control with carbon filter, and a PCM navigation system with Bose premium audio.

Driver engagement is enhanced by the leather-wrapped three-spoke steering wheel with Porsche crest, cruise control, HomeLink, and full power accessories. Safety systems include ABS, PSM, traction control, dual front and side airbags, and the Porsche Side Impact Protection system, all backed by the car’s rigid cabriolet structure.

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.
