Up for auction is this stealthy 2005 Porsche 997 Carrera S Launch Edition finished in black over a black leather interior. Built to commemorate the inception of the 997 model, this 2005 Launch Edition highlights exclusive factory options including the Bose High-End Sound Package, PCCB Ceramic Composite Brakes and Sport Chrono Package Plus. Featuring a TECHART aerokit as well as a desirable 6-speed manual transmission, this Carrera S is now being offered for auction showing approximately 81k miles on the odometer.
Stated to have been covered by paint protection film for most of its life, the black exterior finish is shown to be in excellent condition. A collection of detailed images is provided in the photo gallery. This Carrera S features an aftermarket TECHART aerokit consisting of a front spoiler, enhanced side skirts and a rear wing. Yellow painted PCCB brake calipers complement the 19” OZ Racing Ultraleggera wheels which are finished in Satin black and come wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires dated 2016. The seller notes that the original wheels will be included in-sale along with the factory decklid.
This 997 showcases a luxurious black full leather interior with adaptive 18-way front Sport Seats. The interior is said to be in factory condition and the seller indicates that an upgraded aluminum pedal set has been installed. Commanding an original sticker price of over $99k, this Carrera S comes outfitted with the following exclusive options:
A naturally aspirated 3.8 L flat-six engine sends 355 HP to the rear wheels by way of a desirable 6-speed manual transmission. Utilizing this drivetrain, the Carrera S is capable of accelerating from 0-60 MPH in as little as 4.6 seconds while reaching top speeds north of 180 MPH. The PCCB Ceramic Composite Brakes provide ample stopping power while the Sport Chrono Package Plus allows the driver to adjust performance settings. As a result of an IMS bearing failure at approximately 32k miles, this 997 was outfitted with a brand-new Porsche factory replacement engine featuring an upgraded IMS kit. Having been recently treated to a full 80k mile service, this Carrera S remains in excellent driving condition.
The sale of this unique 997 will include two keys, service records and a clear title as well as the original books, wheels and decklid. If you have been in search of a generously equipped Porsche 997, this special Launch Edition Carrera S makes the perfect choice.

Same IMS, but stronger more durable bearing.
Since the engine was replaced in 2009, can you tell if Porsche replaced it with the latest and much more robust IMS that was available in 2009?
