This superb high-specification 2007 Porsche 997 Carrera 4 perfectly
combines everyday usability with unmistakable Porsche
performance.
First registered in January 2007,
this example presents as a true modern classic, offering an engaging analogue
driving experience alongside refined comfort and all-weather capability thanks
to its four-wheel-drive system.
Powered by the
3.6-litre flat-six engine paired with a desirable six-speed manual transmission,
the car delivers an involving and rewarding drive. The current keeper has owned
the vehicle since April 2013, enjoying over a decade of ownership, with just
three former keepers recorded in total. The mileage currently stands at 70,414,
reflecting careful and consistent use over the years.
This Carrera 4 is particularly notable for its extensive factory
specification. Finished in special paint and complemented by a luxurious cocoa
leather interior, the cabin features soft ruffled leather seats with Porsche
crests embossed on the headrests, creating a distinctive and high-quality
environment. The car is equipped with Porsche Active Suspension Management, a
sports exhaust system, and the sought-after Sport Chrono Package Plus, enhancing
both performance and driver engagement. Further features include 19-inch
SportDesign wheels, Bi-Xenon headlights, PCM navigation with telephone module, a
Bose sound system, and a CDC-4 six-disc CD autochanger.
Comfort and convenience are well catered for, with electrically
adjustable and heated seats, a three-spoke multifunction steering wheel,
ParkAssist, and an electric slide/tilt sunroof. The inclusion of a short-throw
Sport Shifter further sharpens the driving experience, while subtle details such
as Porsche-crested wheel centres and the extended leather interior package
elevate the overall feel of the car.
The service
book is present but contains only two stamps dated 2008 and 2011. The vendor
advises that the car has been serviced throughout its life, however there are no
supporting invoices or documentation available to confirm this
history.
The vehicle is supplied with a
comprehensive handbook pack, including documentation detailing factory upgrades
over the standard Carrera 4 specification. It is MOT’d until June 2026, offering
peace of mind for the next owner.
The vendor has
advised that the car benefits from a professional engine remap, previously
rolling-road tested to approximately 390bhp. While supporting documentation is
no longer available, the increase in performance is immediately noticeable from
behind the wheel, adding an extra layer of excitement to an already capable
car.
A well-kept and highly usable example, this
997 Carrera 4 is equally at home on spirited weekend drives as it is on longer
touring journeys. The car presents very well overall, with only minor age and
mileage-related marks, including some scuffing to the rear wings, which do not
detract from its striking appearance. On inspection, the car drives exactly as
expected, further underlining its quality and appeal as a modern classic
Porsche.
