Kickdown's Take
by Juri PilawaThe 997.1 Carrera with a manual transmission has become increasingly sought-after in recent years. This vehicle has been meticulously maintained and serviced by Dronia Sportwagen since 2018; prior to that, it was serviced exclusively at Porsche Bonn and Mainz. The mileage of approximately 142,000 kilometers is perfectly documented in the complete service history. The exterior and interior are in excellent condition. A well-maintained convertible for 911 enthusiasts who love open-air driving with a manual transmission.

Questions and Comments
Technik: Im Sommer 2004 wurden die Modelle 997 Carrera und Carrera S vorgestellt. Beide Modelle haben einen wassergekühlten Sechszylinderboxermotor mit einem Hubraum von 3596 cm³, der im 911 Carrera 239 kW (325 PS) bei 6800 min−1 leistet und ein maximales Drehmoment von 370 N·m bei 4250 min−1 liefert. Der 911 Carrera S hat aufgrund einer um 3 mm vergrößerten Zylinderbohrung insgesamt 228 cm³ mehr Hubraum und infolgedessen eine etwas höhere Leistung als das Basismodell. Sie ist mit 261 kW (355 PS) bei 6600 min−1 angegeben; das maximale Drehmoment beträgt 400 N·m bei 4600 min−1. Äußerlich unterscheiden sich die beiden Modelle vor allem am Heck, in dem sich beim S-Modell vier statt zwei Auspuffendrohre befinden. Die Carrera-S-Modelle haben rote statt der schwarzen Bremssättel des Carrera. LG Tom
