2005 Porsche 911 997 Carrera 4 MY06

Since it first stunned the world in 1963, the iconic 911 coupé has been through nine successful generations in its role as the backbone of Porsche.

Generation six, known internally at Porsche as the type 997 is fast becoming known as the single best modern 911 money can buy.

Gone are the type 996 ‘fried egg’ headlights, to stay are the classic sloping 911 lines and sportingly small over-all dimensions. New in is 300 horses, wider front and even wider rear wheel track should it be fitted with Porsche’s 4WD system known to be the lightest and most clever system in its class.

An unrivalled blend of racing heritage, technology, economy, safety, practicality and unburstable build quality mean the type 997 911 Carrera meets the most exacting demands of 21st-century drivers Monday to Friday and even on weekend escapes.

The car offered is a Porsche 911 Type 997 Carrera 4 delivered new by Porsche Centre Melbourne in May of 2006 in sharp Arctic Silver metallic paintwork over Black leather trim travelling just 72,000 kilometres.

This 911 features the following:

• 6 Speed Manual Transmission

• Four-Wheel Drive with Rear Wide-Body

• Arctic Silver Metallic Paintwork

• Painted Interior Centre Console

• Porsche Communication Management

• Electric Seats with Memory

• Bose Surround Sound

• Rear Park Assist

Today the car is in exceptional condition inside and out and has been a truly cherished sportscar. Mechanically the car has been maintained annually by Porsche Centre Melbourne Service which is documented in its original servicing booklet which accompanies the sale of the vehicle along with its original set of keys.

Practical sports motoring with razor sharp handling, blistering performance, classically styled lines and technology that doesn’t anaesthetise the driving experience there is no wonder the 997 is fast becoming known as the last truly great 911.
