Summary

For sale is a Porsche 997 Carrera Coupé originally delivered in the U.S. (Miami, USA) in black with a newly upholstered Alcantara interior. The current owner, a mechatronics engineer himself, has extensively refurbished the vehicle: The suspension was overhauled with GTS components, the entire exhaust system—including a new exhaust manifold—was replaced, the control arms and axle components were replaced, and new tires were installed. The Alcantara steering wheel with paddle shifters underscores the meticulous interior design. The exact mileage can no longer be verified with certainty due to a speedometer replacement and is estimated at approximately 206,000–220,000 km. The vehicle has had no accidents under its current ownership and was last serviced in August 2025. According to Carfax, there are two reported claims, one of which occurred in 2010 in the U.S. The extent of the damage is unknown. Even without a complete service history, the work performed and the good condition of the body and interior indicate a vehicle that has been carefully maintained.
