2005 Porsche 911 Carrera S on 2040-cars

The 2005 Carrera S wasn't just a performance package on the standard 911, it made it a higher tier car. Coming from
factory with a bigger 3.8-liter engine, Porsche Stability Management technology, larger brakes with red calipers,
19" wheels, Bi-Xenon headlights, a sports steering wheel, and aluminum interior trim were all additions included in
the 911S. There is a significant difference in the standard Carrera from overall performance to future resell
value.
2005 is a pivotal year in the 911's history. This is the debut of the 997 redesign that bought the 911 back to an
appearance closer to the original. In fact, the fascia proved so popular, it's hard for many to tell the difference
between this one and a brand new 911 coupe. I am very picky about the level of care and maintenance which shows in
that the car feels and looks almost new. Just take some time to look at the Arctic Silver Metallic paint. It's a
timeless color on a German sports car, and so when it's maintained this well, the Porsche becomes ageless. This is
a garage kept car, driven in fair weather. The paint and body as well as the 19-inch Carrera S wheels look amazing
with Carrera S wide body stance. The look of a new 911 at a fraction of the price.
Porsche interiors are durable and finely crafted. With just the tight amount of shiny alloy, it's not overly
flashy, and instead gives the impression of high-quality materials and craftsmanship that is worthy of the price.
The black leather bucket seats are engineered to both keep you planted in the corners and comfortable on long
trips. This is loaded with automatic climate control, keyless entry/alarm, cruise control, sunroof, and power
everything. Because this is a modern classic, you also get modern safety features such as front airbags, side
airbags, and anti-lock brakes. But even with the premium upgrades, this one continues all the great 911 traditions.
So the ignition key still goes on the left, and the tachometer gets the most prominent placement as the largest
gauge that boldly sits in the center.
The Carrera S liquid-cooled 3.8-liter flat-six brought a significant power upgrade in 2005 with 355 horsepower and
295 pounds of torque. This coupe has its original motor, and just like the rest of the car, you can instantly tell
it has been well cared for. You know this from its average of less than 3,500 miles per year, the overall condition
of the car shows in its driving and look. This 911 is great for a daily driver to hammering down the backroads. The
Porsche 911 is one of the best engineered sports cars around. You can see it in the details, like the flat
underbelly for improved aerodynamics. You feel it on the road with an exceptionally well balanced suspension
(especially for a rear-engine car.) This car needs nothing and is ready for the road. I have added a clear bra
for protecting the paint as well as tinted windows and all weather mats. I have original mats that are like new
and will be included. I have also added the LED lighting upgrade to the front driving lights for a great look and
safety. The remainder of the car is completely stock and well maintained. There are no leaks or issues and has
always been well maintained. I have owned 911s for 20 years and currently own 3 Porsches and keep my cars right
and in great condition.

Watch Evo pick its 2015 Car of the Year in this epic video
Mon, Dec 7 2015With just a few days left in 2015, it's the perfect time to check out Evo's annual Car of the Year test to determine the greatest performance vehicle of the last 12 months. The writers' picks for the 11 finalists spanned a breadth of engaging models and included: Peugeot 208 GTi by Peugeot Sport, Lamborghini Aventador SV, Seat Leon Cupra Sub8, McLaren 675LT, Porsche 991 GT3 RS, Porsche Cayman GT4, Honda Civic Type R, Ferrari 488 GTB, Chevrolet Camaro Z/28, Lotus Evora 400, and Mercedes-AMG GT S. For the venue to test the mettle of these performance machines, Evo stuck close to home this year and visited the twisting roads at the beautiful north coast of Scotland. Racing brothers Marino and Dario Franchitti also came along for the ride to provide two more voices in the competitive challenge to determine a winner. Evo's video explains why each model deserves to be among such rarified company but doesn't gloss over their faults either. There can be only one winner, though. We don't want to spoil it, so check out the clip for magnificent views of these performance machines through the Scottish countryside.
2013 Goodwood Festival of Speed statue unveiled
Thu, 11 Jul 2013Each year at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, a single marque is celebrated with a large and ornate "Central Feature" sculpture, with recent automakers including Audi in 2009, Alfa Romeo in 2010, Jaguar in 2011 and Lotus last year. This year, Porsche gets the honor, and it is using the opportunity to commemorate 50 years of the 911.
The sculpture features three generations of the 911 towering over the Goodwood House. The most recent 991 911 has the lowest position, with an original 1963 car second highest and a 1973 2.7 RS at the top of the pile. Be sure to check out the sculpture for yourself in the gallery of images above.
The mid-engine Porsche backstory
Thu, 09 Oct 2014As an automaker's identity evolves over years, its signature becomes defined by any number of factors - heritage (Mercedes-Benz), image (Lamborghini), or market share (Toyota). In the case of Porsche, it was an engineering quirk that forged the German company's most enduring character trait.
Porsche would not have survived - let alone, thrived - in today's saturated landscape had it not been for the 911, and that slope-tailed sports car wouldn't have sprung to life without its predecessor, the 356. While phenomenal success of those rear-engine icons built the company, forays into the mid-engine configuration have played a significant part in establishing the brand's identity.
