2009 Porsche 911 997 Carrera

Since it first stunned the world in 1963, the 911 has evolved through nine successful generations as the backbone of Porsche and in the process become the best sportscar ‘in the world’.

Generation six, known internally at Porsche as the type 997 is fast becoming widely accepted as the single best modern 911 money can buy, especially so for the 997.2.

An ideal blend of race proven heritage, technology, economy, safety, practicality and unburstable build quality means the type 997 911 Carrera meets the most exacting demands of the 21st-century driver for the daily grind as well as the weekend escape artist looking for that total sensory engaging, head clearing session.

In design, gone are the type 996 ‘fried egg’ headlights, to stay are the classic free-standing headlights, traditional curvy 911 lines, sportingly small over-all dimensions and just the right amount of tech like the optional variable sports exhaust.

There’s 325 horses of power, a wider front and rear wheel track delivering Ludacris grip levels, a now hard to find rack-and-pinion steering system, as well as Porsche Stability Management (PSM) that together, works in tarmac melting unison.

The car offered is a single owner, 2009 911 Type 997.2 Carrera 2 delivered new by Porsche Centre Sydney South, ordered in Basalt Black over Black leather trim with the mechanical feeling 6 speed manual transmission.
