Overview

Launched in 2004, the 997-generation served as the successor to the 996-generation of the Porsche 911 sports car. The midlife refresh, aka the 997.2, introduced for the 2009 model year, saw the addition of direct fuel injection technology, Porsche’s dual-clutch ‘PDK’ transmission, revised suspension settings, and minor styling updates. Viewed as one of the last ‘mechanical’ 911 models before forced induction and electronic aids became mandatory features, enthusiasts view the 997-gen as an opportunity to enjoy a millennium-era Porsche 911 with an uninterrupted, engaging driving experience.  
 

This 2011 Porsche 911 Carrera S Cabriolet combines the elevated performance capabilities of the 911 Carrera S with the benefits of an open-top four-seater convertible. This example brings an attractive Guards Red paint finish with a Black interior and matching softop convertible roof, riding on a sporting set of 19” Porsche Turbo II aluminium wheels. Previous applications of SystemX exterior ceramic coating and protectant for the convertible top provide additional long-term protection to all sections of this Porsche's body. Minor exterior modifications add slight aesthetic changes,  ranging from Zunsport lower front grilles and aftermarket Morimoto LED front headlights, paired with Euro-specification side indicator light covers. 

 

The interior features a combination of cabin amenities and Porsche-specific elements that highlight this cabriolet’s elevated performance capabilities. Highlights include a multi-function leather heated steering wheel, power-adjustable front leather ventilated seats with memory settings, adorned with Porsche crest details in the headrests, and various equipment included in the optioned Comfort and Infotainment Packages. The notable inclusion of the Sport Chrono Package Plus prominently adds a dashboard-mounted stopwatch with adjustable driving and damper settings - allowing the driver to set up the chassis for a further engaging drive. Power comes from a rear-mounted 3.8L flat-six engine, driving the rear wheels through a 7-speed PDK dual-clutch transmission, providing rapid gear changes with the ease of a standard automatic transmission. 

 

Just under 40,000 miles are displayed on the odometer of this 1-previous-owner Porsche cabriolet. Accompanying the sale are two key fobs, owner’s literature, a window sticker, and purchase documentation.
