The seller offers for sale this 2011 Porsche 911 (997.2) Carrera GTS equipped with a 3.8-litre six-cylinder petrol engine delivering 408 hp and paired with a manual transmission, a configuration found in only 30% of GTS models produced. The car has been serviced exclusively by Porsche Centres, with the last major maintenance carried out at Porsche Lyon in 2024. The vehicle is in good mechanical condition with new Michelin PS4S tyres, fresh brakes, and no service needs. It includes desirable factory options such as the Sport Chrono Package, Porsche Sports Exhaust, sunroof, Bose sound system, and short-shift kit.
The paintwork remains in good condition with only minor stone chips and a small mark on one wheel. The cabin presents as new, featuring full leather and Alcantara trim, Porsche crests on the headrests, and red seatbelts. The car retains its original exhaust, with a Sharkwerks silencer currently fitted and the factory secondary silencer supplied. A theft in 2018 led to the replacement of all four central-lock wheels and minor body repairs at Porsche Hamburg, professionally executed with documentation available. The car has no visible rust and drives well.
The Porsche 997 Carrera GTS, introduced in 2010, was designed to bridge the gap between the Carrera S and GT3. Combining everyday usability with track-capable performance, it features widened rear arches, centre-lock wheels, and a power increase to 408 hp. Revered by enthusiasts as the last naturally aspirated Carrera with a hydraulic steering feel, it delivers an engaging and balanced driving experience. The manual GTS models have become particularly sought-after for their purity and rarity.

The description of this car is, to the best of the seller’s knowledge, accurate and not misleading. Route 66 Auctions requests a range of detail about the car from the seller and performs a level of due diligence. However, potential buyers must independently satisfy themselves as to the accuracy of the description. We strongly advise potential buyers to view or arrange inspections as well as conduct any research they feel is necessary before committing to bid or buy.
Please note that it is not uncommon for classic or collectible cars to have received cosmetic repairs in the past, to rectify damage or refresh appearance, and this work may be hard to see even upon visual inspection. Unless there is an explicit statement by the seller to the contrary, please assume that any vehicle could have had bodywork or paintwork. Photographs may not reflect the exact true colour or exact full condition of the vehicle. It is a bidder’s responsibility to assure themselves of the colour and condition of a vehicle, including its interior and the existence of any remedial bodywork or paintwork, before committing to bid or buy.
