Description
This is not just a sports car it's a driver's machine, engineered by Porsche at a time when the 911 still felt beautifully mechanical, connected, and alive.
The 997 Targa 4S blends classic 911 DNA with everyday usability and serious performance. Powered by the iconic 3.8-litre naturally aspirated flat-six, it delivers that unmistakable Porsche soundtrack sharp, metallic, and addictive as it climbs through the rev range. The power delivery is instant, linear, and full of character in a way modern turbocharged cars simply can't replicate.
With the wide-body Carrera 4S shell and all-wheel drive system, this car has huge grip and confidence in all conditions, yet still keeps that rear-engined feel that makes a 911 so engaging. The steering is full of feedback, the chassis balance is superb, and the whole car feels compact, planted, and eager whether you're flowing down a B-road or stretching its legs on the motorway.
The Targa glass roof system is a highlight: panoramic, electrically operated, and giving you the best of both worlds coupe security with an open, airy feel. Slide it back and the cabin fills with light and sound from that flat-six behind you. It completely changes the driving experience.
Built for driving is not a clich here:
Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) keeps the car composed yet comfortable
Huge 4S brakes provide serious stopping power
Wide rear stance gives it that unmistakable, muscular 911 look
Rock-solid German build quality everything feels engineered, not just assembled
This car has been properly cared for and comes with:
Full service history
Both original keys
Car cover
It has clearly been owned by enthusiasts, not just drivers.
I'm only interested in it going to a good new owner who understands what this car is a modern classic 911 that rewards proper driving and will only become more special with time.
Please note: the car is not sold with the private registration plate.
If you want a 911 that still feels raw, communicative, and built around the driver this is it.
