Factory color

Arctic Grey

Porsche factory color · paint code M7K

Arctic Grey (M7K) is a light, muted solid gray from Porsche with no metallic flake and a cool, faintly blue cast that becomes more apparent in sunlight. Porsche introduced it in 2022 on the high-performance Cayenne Turbo GT and 718 Cayman GT4 RS, describing it as inspired by Graphite Blue and reminiscent of the historic Slate Grey. It has since been offered across the 718, 911 and Cayenne lines, including the 911 GT3 and, as a special color, the 992-generation 911 GT3 RS.

Powertrain
Combustion

The Porsche 911 Carrera S (997 generation) was produced from 2004 to 2012, marking the fifth iteration of the iconic 911 lineup. As part of the 997.1 (2004-2008) and 997.2 (2009-2012) phases, Porsche manufactured approximately 213,000 units of the 997 generation across all variants, with the Carrera S being a popular performance model. Specific production numbers for the Carrera S are not publicly detailed, but its prevalence among enthusiasts suggests a significant share of the total.

The Carrera S initially featured a 3.8-liter flat-six engine in the 997.1, producing 355 horsepower, later upgraded to 385 horsepower in the 997.2 with direct fuel injection. It achieves 0-60 mph in around 4.5 seconds (manual transmission) and a top speed of approximately 182 mph. A key highlight for collectors is the availability of limited editions like the Carrera S Powerkit, offering enhanced performance. The 997 is historically significant as the last 911 generation to widely offer a manual transmission across trims. Value trends show steady appreciation, especially for low-mileage, manual examples, with prices often ranging from $40,000 to $70,000 USD depending on condition and provenance, making it a desirable entry point for exotic car collectors.
