The Porsche 911 Carrera 997.2, part of the fifth generation of the iconic 911 lineup, was produced from 2008 to 2012 as an update to the original 997 model introduced in 2004. Approximately 100,000 units of the 997.2 were manufactured across various trims, including coupes, cabriolets, and Targa variants, making it less rare than some limited-run Porsche models but still desirable among collectors for its refined engineering.

Featuring a revised 3.6-liter flat-six engine in base Carrera models (producing 345 horsepower) and a 3.8-liter version in Carrera S variants (delivering 385 horsepower), the 997.2 introduced direct fuel injection for improved efficiency and performance. It offered a 0-60 mph time of around 4.5 seconds for the Carrera S with the optional PDK dual-clutch transmission, a first for the 911. Collectors value the 997.2 for its blend of classic 911 design with modern technology, as well as special editions like the 911 Sport Classic (limited to 250 units). Values have appreciated in recent years, particularly for low-mileage examples and manual transmission models, with prices often ranging from $40,000 to over $100,000 depending on condition and variant.
