Porsche 911 997.1 Carrera S (2004)

Moritz Helbich

Kickdown's Take

by Moritz Helbich

This 997.1 Carrera S impresses with 355 PS from its 3.8-liter boxer engine, which has been overhauled—featuring new pistons, connecting rods, and bearings, as documented by an invoice—while retaining its matching numbers. This means that the biggest weakness of the 997.1 models has already been addressed in this particular example. With its classic color combination, this 997 Carrera S is a solid investment and will delight enthusiasts of purist 911 coupes.

    Technik: Porsche 911 997.1 Carrera S (2004): Porsche 997 ist die interne Modellbezeichnung von Porsche für das von Juli 2004 bis Ende 2012 produzierte 911-Modell. Die sechste Generation des 911 ähnelt durch die Wiedereinführung der runden Scheinwerfer stärker dem Urelfer von 1963 als der Vorgänger vom Typ 996. Die im Vergleich zum Vorgänger 996 kaum gestiegene Motorleistung, bei leicht höherer Leermasse des Fahrzeuges, löste Kritik aus. Die Konkurrenz bot inzwischen bereits Fahrzeuge mit deutlich mehr Leistung an, auch wenn diese Fahrzeuge häufig schwerer sind als ein Porsche 997 und dementsprechend in der Fahrdynamik unterliegen. Auf positive Kritik stieß die Karosseriegestaltung der Modelle Carrera 4/4S insbesondere im Bereich der hinteren Radläufe, die nun wieder „hüftenartig“ ausgeführt sind. Darüber hinaus hat der 997 keine offensichtliche stilistische Ähnlichkeit mit dem günstigeren Boxster mehr und ähnelt vor allem von vorn wieder älteren 911-Modellen. LG Tom
