The 997.2 Carrera GTS sits at an interesting point in the 911 hierarchy — wider bodywork shared with the Carrera 4S, a 408-horsepower naturally aspirated 3.8-liter flat-six producing 23 horsepower more than the contemporary Carrera S, a standard limited-slip differential, and a sport exhaust from the factory. It is the most driver-focused naturally aspirated 997.2 short of the GT cars, and it came with everything the GT cars deleted. This example is a 2011 coupe in Carrara White over black leather and Alcantara, six-speed manual, with 56,453 miles.

Carrara White on the wider GTS bodywork is a striking combination — clean and purposeful without resorting to a darker color to make the point. Inside, black leather and Alcantara with carbon fiber trim throughout, Guards Red seatbelts, Alcantara steering wheel, white Sport Chrono dial, and RS Spyder center-lock wheels. The Carbon Package, heated adaptive sport seats, Bose sound, and PCM 3.0 with navigation round out a car that was optioned with intention. Paint protection film is installed, service records are on file, and the car carries a handful of tasteful modifications that enhance the driving experience without compromising its character. A clean, well-specified naturally aspirated 997.2 GTS manual in a color that suits it.
