Marketed between 2004 and 2013, the Porsche 997 was introduced by Porsche as the successor of the much-maligned 996. The complaints about the revised ‘fried egg’ headlamps on the previous model were addressed by reverting to a more traditional oval design, along with a multitude of mechanical upgrades and a wide array of configurations, from the powerful ‘Turbo S’ to the track-focused ‘RS’ variants, each with a particular focus on the driving experience.
The Carrera model is this generation’s purest iteration, with a naturally aspirated 3. 6-litre flat-six producing 325 horses and two gearbox options: a five-speed tiptronic transmission, and a 6-speed manual. The model’s simplicity, practicality and reliability make it an ideal everyday car for the enthusiast, one that can endure daily use with the comforts of cold air conditioning, ABS, airbags, and traction control; but with the qualities of handling, power, heritage, and style that make it a bona fide 911.
This particular car is the more powerful, all-wheel-drive Carrera 4 version. Originally delivered to Germany and presenting beautifully in black-on-tan, this sub-5, 000km 997 is completely original and comes with complete manuals, service records, tools, and spare key.
