Vehicle Description
Chassis No. WP0CA29998S765280
The ever-collectible 997-generation 911 marked the first time
Porsche's design and engineering efforts began with the Cabriolet
version, rather than the Coupe. This forward-thinking strategy
addressed the complex chassis stiffness challenges of the Cabriolet
and ensured the Coupe would benefit from the enhanced rigidity.
This approach meant that despite the minimal added weight of the
Cabriolet, it would achieve almost identical performance figures -
an amazing feat, yet one typical of those Stuttgart engineers so
used to hone the 911 year after year.
Completed in Stuttgart, Germany, in October 2007, this
997-generation Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet is presented in
classic Carrera White over a rarely seen special-order Cocoa
Natural leather interior. The car has just 46,635 miles on the
odometer at the time of cataloging and a clean CARFAX Vehicle
History Report. Naturally, it features Porsche's iconic 3.6-liter
flat-six engine with VarioCam that produces 325 horsepower and 273
lb-ft of torque. Smartly equipped with the enthusiast-preferred
"row your own" six-speed manual transmission, it accelerates from
zero to 60 mph in a brisk 5.0 seconds, capable of reaching a top
speed of 177 mph. Noteworthy additional factory-fitted options
include optional 18-inch "Carrera III" wheels, Porsche Stability
Management (PSM), a BOSE High-End Sound Package, a six-disc remote
CD changer, heated seats, a power seat package, Bi-Xenon lighting,
and wheel caps with colored crests.
Under previous ownership, the car saw regular servicing at Porsche
Gold Coast of Jericho, New York. Most recently, under current
ownership, the car benefits from a comprehensive major service
completed in June 2023. This work was performed by a Porsche
specialist, Rennsport Automotive, in Bedford Hills, New York, and
included an engine, transmission, and differential oil change, new
spark plugs, new coil packs, new belts, and a fresh battery.
Additionally, faded taillights were replaced along with the
installation of clear side markers, all of which were sourced
directly from Porsche. Finally, the shifter was upgraded with a
short-throw Rennline shifter for a crisper shifting and engaging
driving experience. The car has an aftermarket stereo head unit
installed, with the original factory unit included with the sale.
With its recent major service and six-speed manual, this
collectible, low-mileage Carrera Cabriolet is sure to charm those
in search of a modern 911 in an elegant color combination with
top-down enjoyment.
