Porsche 911 997 Carrera 4S

2011 Porsche 911 997 Carrera 4S with a full-service history.

The Porsche 997 is arguably the sweet spot in the 911 range. It features the lithe and nimble handling from a chassis that follows traditional 911 proportions, steering which provides wonderful feedback and engaging engines, but with up-to-date technology and performance.

The model was introduced in 2004 and was a major improvement on the outgoing 996. It featured a return to circular headlights which were the most obvious change but coupled with dynamic chassis changes along with much improved fit and finish. Above all that it remained a classic 911 size and retained hydraulic steering that provides feedback that electric systems struggle to match. Although subsequent 911 models are great, the 997 is a standout iteration.

Our model is a 997.2 registered in March 2011, so late in the line of production which ceased in 2012. It features the 3.8L flat six engine producing 385bhp with a four-wheel drive system and PDK, much improved over the Tiptronic in the pre-facelift model. Capable of 0-60 in 4.3 seconds and topping out at 183mph it is finished in white and presents perfectly as you would expect commensurate with its very low mileage of 38,800 and looks stunning against a black leather interior with upgraded Turbo wheels. It comes with all the must have options, a full list of which are below. The 997 has a two-year service interval and the full book pack records a full-service history with Porsche main dealers and independent specialists.
