2006 Porsche 911 Carrera S 997

The 997 represents a pivotal moment in the evolution of the iconic 911 where classic analogue character met modern usability in a way few generations have managed since. 

Powered by a 3.8-litre flat-six producing 261kW, the Carrera S delivers a 0–100 km/h sprint in approximately 4.8 seconds (with Tiptronic S), backed by a top speed north of 280 km/h. With its wider rear track, PASM (Porsche Active Suspension Management), and unmistakable silhouette, the 997 refined the driving experience without diluting the essence that defines a 911.

Delivered new December 2005 through Porsche Sydney South and finished in timeless Arctic Silver, this example has covered just 82,000 kilometres from new and presents as a well-maintained, highly usable modern classic. 

Equipped with the Tiptronic S transmission, it offers both relaxed touring capability and responsive manual control when desired, equally at home in city traffic or on an open road where the flat-six can properly stretch its legs.

This vehicle is accompanied by a full and complete service history, documented through Porsche and respected Porsche specialists, with its most recent service completed in June 2026. It comes complete with two keys, original books, and all supporting documentation, exactly what you want to see in a properly cared-for example.

This later M97 model falls outside of the IMS affected production numbers and features the upgraded non-serviceable IMS bearing from factory.

The condition and provenance reflect consistent ownership and attentive maintenance, making this a compelling opportunity for someone seeking a 997 that hasn’t been overcomplicated, overdriven, or overpromised. It’s simply a well-sorted 911 that does exactly what it should: start every time, drive beautifully and remind you why these cars have such a loyal following.

In short, this is a 911 that doesn’t need excuses or exaggeration. It’s honest, well-kept and ready to be enjoyed.
