2011 Porsche 911 Carrera 2 GTS Cabriolet

A 997.2-generation Carrera GTS Cabriolet in Basalt Black over black half leather sports seats — one of the more desirable open-top 911 specifications from this era. The GTS sits at the top of the naturally aspirated Carrera range, extracting 408 bhp from the 3.8-litre flat-six with a switchable sports exhaust and Sport Chrono with Sport Plus as standard. This example is fitted with the 7-speed PDK gearbox, 19-inch GTS centre lock wheels, and a well-chosen options list that includes the Extended Leather Pack, BOSE sound system, heated seats, and the PDK lever surround in leather.

At 52,447 miles from new in 2011, this is a car that has been used and enjoyed without being abused. PASM and PSM are fitted, along with Bi-Xenon headlights, touchscreen satellite navigation, and rear parking sensors. The GTS door entry guards and LED daytime running lights distinguish it visually from lesser Carreras.

The 997 GTS has established itself as a collector-friendly modern classic — the last of the hydraulic-steering 911s with the most powerful naturally aspirated Carrera engine Porsche offered at the time. Cabriolet examples in dark colours with a black hood present a clean, understated look that ages well.
