The 997 generation of the Porsche 911, introduced in 2004, marked a return to the classic round headlights and a more compact, athletic silhouette after the controversial 996. Its mid-cycle refresh, the 997.2, arrived in 2008 bringing significant advancements. This iteration introduced Porsche's groundbreaking direct fuel injection (DFI) engines and the revolutionary Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) dual-clutch transmission, replacing the Tiptronic S. While the seller's description mistakenly refers to the "Mezger" engine (which powered the GT3 and Turbo variants of the 997, and the 997.1 Carrera S Powerkit), the standard 3.8L DFI flat-six in the 997.2 Carrera S was a marvel of engineering, known for its increased efficiency, power, and improved throttle response, producing 385 horsepower. The 997.2 is often celebrated as the sweet spot for many enthusiasts, blending modern performance with a more analog driving feel before the introduction of electric power steering. This particular 2011 Porsche 911 Carrera S Convertible, with 69,615 miles on the odometer, presents an enticing opportunity to experience the best of the 997.2 generation. Finished in the sophisticated Meteor Grey Metallic, its retractable soft top allows for the full immersion of open-air motoring, enhancing the iconic flat-six soundtrack. The 3.8-liter DFI H6 engine, delivering a robust 385 horsepower, is paired with the highly regarded PDK transmission, ensuring rapid, seamless gear changes and exhilarating acceleration. This example was highly specified from the factory, boasting an original MSRP of $115,990.00, reflecting a desirable array of options that elevate its luxury and performance credentials. This is a chance to acquire a well-maintained example of a truly beloved 911 generation.
