The top-tier version of Porsche’s 997.2 Carrera, the GTS featured wider bodywork derived from the all-wheel-drive Carrera 4 as well as center-lock wheels, a premium interior, the Sport Exhaust System, and a more powerfully tuned 3.8L engine. This 2012 GTS Cabriolet comes finished in Carrara White and optioned with a limited-slip differential, Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK), Sport Chrono Package Plus, painted exterior trim, painted hardback Adaptive Sport Seats, and a host of exclusive interior details. It was sold new in California where it remained with the original owner for 7 years before moving to Washington with its second owner. It was eventually sold to the third owner in 2019 from whom it was acquired by the seller. Showing approximately 45k miles on the odometer, this GTS is now being offered for auction out of New Orleans, Louisiana.
This Cabriolet was ordered in Carrara White including optional painted side skirts, mirror attachment points, and lower rear fascia. Other options include Bi-Xenon headlights and exclusive clear taillights. Removable tints have been applied to the windows and the seller states the paint was recently polished and ceramic coated, detailed images are provided in the gallery. Factory black-painted 19” center lock wheels come dressed Michelin Pilot Sport tires. The front tires are dated from 2019 showing 6/32” of tread, and the seller states new rear tires have been mounted since the car was photographed for auction. The front bumper was previously refinished which is said to have resulted in the minor damage reported on CARFAX in 2015.
Inside, this 997.2 features full black leather upholstery in favor of the standard GTS Alcantara package. The heated 18-way Adaptive Sport Seats showcase exclusive Porsche crested headrests and backrest shells painted to match the exterior. Other optional details include illuminated door entry guards in stainless steel, a PDK gate surround in leather, a center console in leather with an embossed logo, a three-spoke multifunction steering wheel, and instrument dials in Carrara White. The car was also specified with self-dimming mirrors, the BOSE Surround Sound System, and a SiriusXM satellite radio tuner. The original PCM system has been replaced with a modern Kenwood touchscreen head unit including Apple CarPlay, Bluetooth, navigation, and a backup camera. The car has also been fitted with WeatherTech floor mats and an integrated K40 radar detector and laser jamming system.
This GTS is equipped with a naturally aspirated 3.8-liter flat-six engine rated at 408 HP, an increase of 23 HP over the standard Carrera S. Power is sent to the rear wheels via 7-speed PDK transmission and an optional limited-slip differential. Equipped with the optional Sport Chrono Package Plus, the GTS reaches 60 MPH from a standstill in approximately 4 seconds. Porsche Sports Exhaust (PSE), Porsche Traction Management (PTM), and Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) are also equipped as standard on the GTS. The right-side flap for the cabriolet top was replaced in May 2020, a four-wheel alignment was performed in September 2021, and an oil/filter service was completed in June 2022 within the last 1k miles.
This sale will include a clean title.

@53ND_ND35 I am a dealer and have not/will not register the car on my behalf. I purchased it from the third owner, whoever purchases it from me will be the 4th...
Thanks. Please clarify. Text above suggests you are the 4th owner (“sold to the third owner in 2019 from whom it was acquired by the seller”). Carfax pics suggest 3 previous owners. Which is accurate? How long have you had the car?

@53ND_ND35 .. here's a nice proxy for the window sticker in case the seller doesn't have the original... https://vinanalytics.com/car/WP0CB2A99CS754569/
Do you have the original PCM? How about window sticker, service docs, etc?
@jfcl911 no information or paperwork on it at all, no. Can confirm the front bumper has been resprayed, but it is to a very high standard, matching the finish on the rest of the car perfectly. Considering the carfax reports damage and not an accident one can assume it was purely a simple cosmetic repair. Hope this helps and thanks for the bid!

Great spec in a classic GTS color. All this car needs is a Sharkwerks bypass to open up the exhaust!
For the discerning, It's a 997 Speedster at a fraction of the price!
