Launched in 2004, the 997 generation 911 marks a return to more traditional styling elements. These elements counterbalance the changes made to the 996 generation to overcome mixed reactions. The 997 was updated in 2008 with numerous improvements. It features a 385 hp flat 6 with direct fuel injection, and a new PDK automatic gearbox.
This Porsche 997.2 Carrera S Cabriolet was launched on May 20, 2010. It was purchased at the Centre Porsche Levallois in France and has remained in the country with its three successive owners. Its current owner acquired it on May 2, 2023. The car is configured in Gris Meteor Métallisée with a red soft top, gray wheels and red brake calipers. Overall condition is impeccable. The bodywork and paintwork are free of any noticeable defects, scratches or dents. The soft top is also in very good condition. No costs are to be expected on the aesthetic aspect of this example.

Aluminum accents contrast with the black leather on the steering wheel, center console and dashboard. All in excellent condition.

This Porsche 911 Type 997 also boasts excellent mechanical performance. It's equipped with the 3.8-liter Flat 6 developing 385 hp, as well as the PDK automatic gearbox, introduced on the 997 range. Start-ups are trouble-free, and all mechanical components function normally. No suspicious noises were heard during the drive. This model is serviced in Porsche Centers and by Porsche specialists.

The Porsche 997.2 Carrera S Cabriolet, the second generation of Porsche's 997 series, marks a significant evolution in the brand's history. Launched in 2008, this updated version persisted until 2012, offering technical and aesthetic improvements over its predecessor, the 997.1.
Aesthetically, the 997.2 is distinguished by subtle but noteworthy changes. The headlamps, inherited from the 996's controversial "frog's eye", return to a more traditional design reminiscent of those on the 993. The front end incorporates larger air intakes, and the rear lights have been redesigned with LED technology. The cabriolet retains the soft top, favoring classic lines and low weight.
Under the hood, the 997.2 Carrera S Cabriolet houses a 3.8-liter, 6-cylinder boxer engine producing 385 hp, an increase on the 355 hp of the 997.1 model. This engine enables the vehicle to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in around 4.7 seconds, with a top speed of around 300 km/h. The direct fuel injection system, a first for the Carrera, improves fuel efficiency and reduces emissions.
The transmission is another area where the 997.2 shines. Buyers could choose between a 6-speed manual transmission and the new 7-speed PDK dual-clutch transmission. The latter offers quicker gear changes and greater fuel efficiency. Porsche's active suspension system (PASM) is standard, allowing the driver to choose between different suspension settings, adapting the car to different road conditions and driving styles.
Inside, the Carrera S Cabriolet features high-quality materials and ergonomic design. Technological integration includes the Porsche Communication System (PCM) with enhanced navigation and audio interface. Options such as adaptive sports seats, Bose audio system and Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS) were available.
The Porsche 997.2 Carrera S Cabriolet represents a significant advance on its predecessor, successfully combining technical improvements with refined design. It remains a notable example of Porsche engineering and design, offering high performance without compromising luxury and comfort.
