About this car

This 2006 Porsche 911 Carrera S Coupe pairs a Black exterior with Beige leather interior and is powered by a 3.8L H6 engine paired with a manual transmission. The rear-wheel-drive sports car delivers engaging performance through its horizontally opposed six-cylinder powerplant equipped with VarioCam Plus variable valve timing, a double inertia flywheel, and Motronic ME 7.8 engine management with electronic throttle control.

Its chassis features MacPherson strut front suspension with aluminum components, an independent multi-link rear suspension with coil springs, front and rear stabilizer bars, and Porsche Active Suspension Management. Stopping power and grip come from P235/35ZR19 front and P295/30ZR19 rear performance tires, while a force-sensitive power rack-and-pinion steering system and 16.9-gallon fuel tank support extended driving. Exterior details include a power sliding sunroof with tilt and one-touch operation, a speed-dependent extendable rear spoiler, Bi-Xenon headlights with dynamic leveling and washers, power heated color-keyed mirrors, and rain-sensing wipers.

Inside, the 2+2 cabin offers folding rear seat backrests, an adjustable steering column, power windows with one-touch operation, central locking with remote control, cruise control, and a HomeLink universal garage door opener. Additional appointments comprise an onboard computer, remote hood and trunk releases, an alarm system with radar interior surveillance, rear window defroster, CD storage shelf, integrated dual cup holders, leather-wrapped shift knob and handbrake lever, Alcantara roof lining, footwell lighting, and a locking glove box. Safety provisions include driver and passenger airbags, 3-point safety belts with pretensioners and load limiters, side-impact door beams, and front and rear crumple zones.

Production

Cylinders

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.
