THE PORSCHE 997

The sixth generation of the legendary Porsche 911 was dubbed the 997 and introduced in 2005. It retained the previous model's basic profile but drew on the 993 for detailing. In addition, the new headlights reverted to the original bug-eye design. The interior was similarly revised, with strong links to the earlier 911 interiors while at the same time looking fresh and modern. Initially, two versions of the 997 were introduced - the rear-wheel-drive Carrera and Carrera S. In late 2005, Porsche introduced the all-wheel-drive versions to the 997; while the Carrera 4 models (both Carrera 4 and Carrera 4S) were announced as 2006 models. The 997 remain a worthy model of one of the most celebrated cars ever produced


THE MOTORCAR OFFERED

This stunning Porsche 997 Carrera 4S Coupe features the desirable 6-speed manual gearbox, making it a thrilling more analog-type car to drive and enjoy, while its loaded with options and creature comforts as would only be expected from a Porsche. The car was sold new from Carlson Porsche of Palo Alto, California, and has remined in the Golden State ever since while in the care of just two enthusiastic owners. The car left the Stuttgart-based Porsche factory as is appears today, finished in classic Grand Prix White over a black leather interior, loaded with options and equipped with the aforementioned 6-speed manual gearbox. The first owner took delivery in March of 2008, and would retain the car until 2019, while putting just over 20,000 miles on the clock, and treating the sporty stick-shift Carrera 4S to regular service at Carlson Porsche. The black Fuchs-type wheels shod on Michelin Pilot Sport tires suits the car very well and draws on the legendary 911-model's heritage, while red brake calibers give the livery just enough pop. The stock radio head unit has been swapped for a Pioneer multifunction piece, but the stock unit is offered with the car, along with books and other factory accessories. Purchased by the consignor in 2019 - a friend of the original owner - the car remains in very close to showroom condition, and just over 22,500 miles are recorded on the odometer at the time of cataloging.
