2005 Porsche 911 997 Carrera

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.

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

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 of power, a wider front and rear wheel track delivering ludicrous grip levels, a now hard to find rack-and-pinion steering system and tech like Porsche Stability Management (PSM) and Satellite Navigation.

The car offered is an as new 911 Type 997 Carrera 2 delivered new by Porsche Centre Sydney South, May of 2005 and ordered in sharp Arctic Silver metallic paintwork over Black leather trim travelling just 59,300 kilometres.

• Porsche’s Communication Management with Bluetooth

This 911 is accompanied with a set of keys, original manuals, leather bound Porsche wallet and original service booklet documenting an excellent service history.

Having been fastidiously maintained and preserved this 997 is ready to drive off the showroom floor with recent works including a major service, the IMS Bearing solution and a new clutch all completed by a known Sydney based Porsche specialist.

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.
