Background
Production of the second generation 997 series 911 Carrera began in mid 2008, it featured an all new engine with Direct Fuel Injection DFI which is mounted 10mm lower in the car, revised suspension system, new front bumper with larger air intakes, LED rear and front daylight running lights, all new Porsche Communication Management PCM 3.0 System with touchscreen, hard drive navigation for UK and Europe. The generation 2 cars also do not suffer all of the potential problems of early 997 gen 1 cars, including IMS bearing failures, RMS leaks and Borescoring, all of these issues were eradicated by Porsche when they designed the all-new direct fuel injection DFI 911 engines for the generation 2 997s.

“Behind the second-generation 997's redesign lies one of the most significant sports cars of the moment. The 911 has always made sense for its practicality and dynamism, but now it’s even more polished, even quicker and significantly greener. It’s even better to drive. Porsche has played down the changes to the suspension, but they have completely eliminated the old car’s tendency to bob its nose up and down in response to changes in road surface and elevation. So you can lean on the front end with far more confidence now, while the 911’s trademark steering remains intact, offering stacks of feedback and instant turn-in. It's pliant and handles brilliantly – a great mix.”

Exterior

Our hand selected Porsche 911 Carrera looks stunning in its gloss coat of Guards, a timeless colour for the 997.2, especially with the red LED rear lights. The metallic silver 19-inch Sport Design wheels are the perfect contrast to the paintwork and are optioned with the 5mm wheel spacers front and rear. This 911 Carrera is particularly special because it was specified with the lightweight Aluminium Doors, rather than Steel Doors that most Carrera models came with, these Aluminium doors are standard on 911 models such as the flagship Turbo, GT3 and GT2. The paintwork condition is excellent. The 911 Carrera has been machine polished and waxed with Autofinesse Soul Carnauba Wax by us, which will help protect the paintwork and repel surface contaminants. Prior to this the whole car was treated to Gtechniq by a Porsche main dealer. All the trim has a perfect finish, as do the front and clear rear lights, which are free from any damage or moisture buildup. The windows drop as they should when you open the door. The engine and boot struts also operate as they should.

Interior

The 911 Comes with full leather comfort seats that have the 2-stage seat heating and electric backs. All of the Black interior leathers are in excellent condition and provide a perfect contrast to the Meteor Grey bodywork. There are no marks or signs of wear to any of the trim parts, panels or switchgear, with the leather retaining a wholly fresh appearance throughout. This car was fitted with a number of Factory X code parts, including Guards Red Seatbelts, Centre console, Instrument Dials and Sport Chrono Stopwatch. The steering wheel is also the ultimate Sport Design item with a thicker leather rim, full size metal PDK shift levers and Drive Mode display.

Engine and Transmission
Our 911 Carrera is equipped with the 3.6 litre flat six DFI engine, which addressed all previous weaknesses of the 996 and 997 first generation engines. The 911 Carrera engine produces 340bhp and 288ft-lb of torque. The axle load distribution of approximately 40:60 ensures high directional stability and superb road behaviour. The engine starts cleanly when cold or hot, there is no smoke whatsoever either at startup or when driving. There are no unusual sounds or rattles when the engine is running.

The Carrera is fitted with Sport Chrono Package Plus, which adds a SPORT and SPORT PLUS button that sharpen the throttle response, decreases shift speeds, hold gears for longer and blips the throttle on downshifts whilst also adding a dashboard mounted stopwatch to add to the sporting image of the 911.

The optional 7-speed double-clutch PDK transmission system provides instant changes, unleashing the power of the engine with minimal fuss. Because it has been specified in combination with Sport Chrono Package Plus, it unlocks additional shift speeds in both SPORT PLUS and LAUNCH CONTROL modes. These modes are only available with these options selected from the factory along with PDK. They enable the Carrera to respond and accelerate faster than the standard car, reducing the in-gear acceleration and the headline 0-60mph time by 0.3 seconds to just 4.7 seconds.

Wheels, Tyres and Brakes

Our 911 Carrera comes fitted with the optional 19-inch Sport Design lightweight alloy wheels finished in metallic silver, which are free of damage. The brakes are phenomenal, with Black callipers and PORSCHE lettering in white, cross drilled and vented discs front and rear with plenty of life left in them. The tyres are Pirelli P-Zero Porsche N-rated high performance tyres, with plenty of tread left on them.

The car is HPI clear and comes complete with 6 months warranty and roadside/home assistance, which can be extended up to 2 years.
