2012 911 Carrera 4 GTS Coupe

The 997.2 Carrera 4 GTS represented the pinnacle of the standard 997 lineup, combining the 408-horsepower Powerkit-equipped 3.8-liter flat-six with the wider all-wheel-drive body, center-lock wheels, and distinctive Alcantara-trimmed interior. Unlike the rear-wheel-drive Carrera GTS, which was offered for both 2011 and 2012, the Carrera 4 GTS was a one-year-only model for 2012. With its naturally aspirated engine, widebody stance, and limited production, it has become one of the most sought-after non-GT cars of the 997 generation.

This 2012 911 Carrera 4 GTS Coupe came finished in Black over a Black leather interior and showed just 17,000 miles. In addition to the standard GTS equipment, it was optioned with the desirable Aerokit Cup bodywork, giving the already purposeful widebody an even more aggressive look. The gallery included hundreds of detailed photos and the car appeared to be in excellent condition throughout. While service history beyond what was listed on the CarFax was notably absent, it’s hard to argue with the presentation of this one. Still, a great car.

Over the past twelve months, 997.2 Carrera 4 GTS values have averaged $103,900, with a low of $82,750 and a high of $135,000 for a 4,500-mile example sold back in October of last year. Despite showing more miles, you can’t argue with the spec, especially the Aerokit Cup bodywork. Buyers certainly didn’t, as our Spotlight Car sold at a final bid of $162,500, setting a new twelve-month high.

You may have a more expensive watch in your drawer. But this will be the one on your wrist.

Two things that always go hand in hand are Porsche and watches. Every Porschephile I know is also a watch nerd, and just like Porsches, watches can be enjoyed at all price points.

Enter Jay Turkbas, founder of Sheffield Watches. Jay approached me two years ago when he was relaunching his new microbrand, inspired by his original Sheffield watch from the 1970s. He took that inspiration and paired it with more than 30 years in product development to bring back the classic Sheffield Dive Watch line, a name once known for honest, low-price-point quality in 1950s New York.

Today Sheffield Watches has grown to more than 20 models and has partnered with names like Spike Feresten of Spikes Car Radio and Jay Leno, with one of my favorites, the Jay Leno’s Garage Driver’s Watch. Throughout that growth, Jay has kept the same Sheffield philosophy alive, creating watches at accessible price points that outperform expectations in build quality and performance. Give Sheffield Watches a look. I think you will be just as impressed as I am.To read the FULL Stuttgart Market Letter, with Noteworthy Sales (and No Sales), New Listings, and a full rundown of every Porsche sold today, subscribe below.
