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 four 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.
