Overview
Guards Red over black on a 997.2 Carrera GTS Cabriolet with a six-speed manual and just over ten thousand miles. The GTS occupied the sweet spot of the 997.2 lineup, adding the wide Carrera 4S body, a sport exhaust, PASM, and a 408-horsepower version of the naturally aspirated 3.8-liter flat six to the open-top formula. Red on black in a convertible is a combination that needs no apology, and the manual gearbox keeps this one in the conversation for serious drivers.
At 10,580 miles this car has been used sparingly and cared for accordingly. The 997.2 generation corrected the IMS concerns of its predecessor and is widely regarded as one of the most resolved expressions of the air-cooled-lineage 911 before the move to turbocharged engines across the range.

About the model
The 997.2 GTS represented the apex of the naturally aspirated, hydraulic-steering 911 Cabriolet before Porsche transitioned the Carrera lineup to turbocharged engines with the 991.2. Positioned above the S and below the GT cars, it combined breadth of ability with genuine driver engagement, and low-mileage manual examples are increasingly difficult to find.
