About this car

The 2005 Porsche 911 Carrera S Cabriolet pairs the iconic 997 styling with open-air motoring and a naturally aspirated 3.8L H6 engine paired to a six-speed manual transmission. Finished in Gray over Black leather, this rear-wheel-drive convertible has covered 79,254 miles and features the desirable Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) system along with a power-operated double-lined soft top.

Performance hardware includes VarioCam Plus variable valve timing, a double inertia flywheel, MacPherson strut front suspension with aluminum components, independent multi-link rear suspension, front and rear stabilizer bars, and 19-inch Carrera S light alloy wheels wrapped in P235/35ZR19 front and P295/30ZR19 rear performance tires. Braking is handled by power four-wheel vented discs with four-piston monobloc fixed alloy calipers, while Porsche Stability Management (PSM), Active Brake Differential, and traction control (ASR) keep the car planted.

Inside, the 2+2 cabin offers front bucket seats with power backrest adjustment, folding rear seat backrests, a leather-wrapped three-spoke steering wheel with Porsche crest, and an adjustable steering column. Standard equipment includes automatic climate control with carbon filter, power windows with one-touch operation, cruise control, HomeLink, rain-sensing wipers, Bi-Xenon headlights with washers, and a PCM system with 5.8-inch color display, CD player, and nine speakers. Safety features encompass dual front airbags, side-impact airbags, Porsche Side Impact Protection (POSIP), ABS, and three-point belts with pre-tensioners.

About the Porsche 911 Carrera S 997

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.
