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 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.
