Introduction

Stuart McIntyre

Professional Consigner

The versatile and sporty Targa 4S 997.2 applies half a century of supercar refinement in one small yet powerful package.

The Porsche 911 (997) was manufactured between 2004 and 2013 and in 2009 Porsche updated the 997 line-ups, introducing styling changes, a revised engine with an impressive sheet of performance figures.

These new models were faster, lighter and more fuel-efficient. On launch, the 997.2 was an instant hit among fans and motoring press worldwide. It's said to be the last of the true nimble 911s before the 991 took over, the Gen 2 comes with a host of features that increase its desirability.

This 911 997.2 C4S Targa is a refined modern classic finished in a 'Carrara White', fitted with full black leather interior and comes with excellent service history, having been owned by Donald for the previous 2 years.

This auction listing was written from information supplied by Stuart after meeting Donald the owner, and having visited and photographed the vehicle.

Meet the owner

Unlike any car I've ever driven - the 997.2 911 will always have a special place in my heart.

Donald has been the proud owner of this Porsche 911 997.2 for the previous two years, however, now due to lack of use he has decided to part with the car and he's hoping a like-minded Porsche enthusiast will take over ownership.

The car has been well looked after by main dealers and specialists throughout the years - it had its last service in December 2020.

Donald will be happy to answer any questions you may have in the comments below.

EXTERIOR VIDEO

Exterior

Porsche have bought back the iconic rear reflective strip and given the front end an attractive second-gen face lift.

Wheels and Tyres

The car looks awesome on gloss black 19" 10 spoke alloys which contrast well against the white paintwork.

The wheels are in excellent condition, if you are being very picky, surface corrosion is showing on the wheel bolts - an easy Sunday job.

The attractive wheels are wrapped in Pirelli P-Zeros which also appear in excellent condition with plenty of tread.

Bodywork

Sleek and distinctive 911 body lines, the car appears in very well cared for condition - excellent condition. The reflective rear strip harks back to the impact bumper era of 911.

All panel gaps look correct - please take a look through all the pictures and videos for a detailed view.

Paint

Finished in 'Carrera White' with the black Targa 4S side decals, this 911 really does look the part.

The paint has an excellent lustre and colour to it, even in colour across each panel.

Please take a look at the high-resolution videos for a closer look at the paintwork.

Glass and Trim

All in excellent condition along with the rest of the car.

'ON THE ROAD' VIDEO

Mechanics

Fitted with a feisty 3.8L flat-six, lowered suspension and various other factory upgrades - this really is a proper drivers' car.

Engine and Gearbox

The larger displaced 3.8L was fitted on all 'S' and '4S' models of the 997.2, offering outstanding figures and times; 0-60 in just 4.3 seconds.

These units represented a significant step forward for Porsche, with 40% fewer moving parts and 6kg trimmed off in bulk from its predecessor. All the 997.2 engines featured a smaller stroke with a larger bore, direct fuel injection, and high compression ratios - 12.5:1 on the Targa 4S.

The car started first time in our cold start video which we conducted for the mechanical video - take a look, to see the car drive out of the garage too.

Suspension and Brakes

The Targa 4S comes fitted with adaptive suspension, perfect for any driving circumstance - perhaps you're popping to the shops, or out on a spirited run - this car has you covered.

Maintenance on this example has been carried out by main dealers and specialists, brakes serviced in line with the schedule ensuring that everything works as expected.

The Drive

The four-wheel-drive system adds to the 997 experience, adding an element of safety to an already very secure car.

Donald really enjoys getting the 4S out on most weekends around Glasgow's sweeping roads, and mentions how quick yet confidence-inspiring this car can be.

Electrics and Other

Fitted with the OEM Porsche multimedia screen, Donald reports all the other electrics on the car are working exactly as they should - no issues.
