About this car
The 2006 Porsche 911 Carrera S pairs Arctic Silver Metallic paint with black leather interior and a 3.8L H6 engine rated at 355 horsepower. A 6-speed manual transmission sends power to the rear wheels on a car that shows 47,433 miles. Original MSRP reached $92,635, and the example carries a long roster of factory options that include DVD-based navigation, the Bose high-end sound package, PASM, and the sport exhaust system.
Bi-Xenon headlights with dynamic leveling and washers sit ahead of rain-sensing wipers and a power sliding sunroof. The 19-inch Sport Design wheels wear caps with colored crests, and paint protection film covers the body. Inside, the power seat package adds driver memory, full power adjustment and lumbar support, while heated seats and headrests embossed with the Porsche crest complete the seating arrangement. A sport shifter shortens travel, the thicker leather-wrapped three-spoke wheel carries the crest, and HomeLink operates the garage door.
Further equipment includes the PCM with 5.8-inch color display, cruise control, automatic climate control with carbon filter, Alcantara headliner, and an alarm system with radar interior surveillance. Standard Porsche systems cover PSM, traction control, ABS, active brake differential and the VarioCam Plus valve timing arrangement on the horizontally opposed six.

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.
