I recall hunting for my first 911, thinking that there are 911s… and then there are the ones that I really want. This is the sort of car that remind you why the badge means something.
Regardless of what stage of the “911 lifecycle” you are in, entering or upgrading (leaving? Hah!). This 2005 Porsche 997 Carrera 4S is exactly that car. Finished in timeless Basalt Black over black leather, this is the widebody, all-wheel-drive, naturally aspirated sweet spot of the modern classic 911 era. Backed by a 6-speed manual and a 3.8L flat-six delivering 261kW and 400Nm, it’s a car that feels alive in a way newer machines often struggle to replicate. And frankly those numbers feel awfully light on compared to this car’s real world performance.
The driving experience is everything you want it to be. Mechanical, connected, and genuinely engaging. The FabSpeed exhaust adds a proper voice to the experience, turning every drive into an occasion without losing that refined Porsche character.
This particular car presents with a strong and well-documented service history, including recent major servicing through Porsche Centre Gold Coast, along with significant maintenance items already addressed. At approximately 144,000km, it has clearly been cared for by enthusiasts who understand what these cars deserve and its condition reflect this. Service history summarised below.

Condition-wise, the car presents very well for its age. The front end has been refinished due to stone chipping, the wheels have been refurbished, and the car benefits from recent inspection and ongoing upkeep.
With strong demand for manual, widebody 997s continuing to build . These are no longer just used cars… they are modern classics. If you’ve been waiting for the right 911, not just the one you can get, then this is a car that ticks all the boxes…I mean, unless if you’re scared of going fast… ; )
