About this car

The 2006 Porsche 911 Carrera S delivers classic 997 performance in Lapis Blue Metallic over a Sand Beige interior. Its 3.8L H6 engine sends power through a 6-speed manual transmission, and the two-door coupe has covered 78,315 miles while remaining in the care of just two owners since new.

Service records document consistent maintenance, including a recent oil and filter change, thermostat and housing replacement, coolant flush, spark plug service, engine and cabin air filter changes, and clutch, pressure plate, and flywheel work performed at 77,000 miles. Additional updates encompass the rear main seal, rear shocks, and differential output seal, while brand-new Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires were fitted shortly before the most recent inspection.

The car passed a bore-scoring inspection with no issues detected, and it is accompanied by two keys, original books, and a full service records binder. Xenon headlights, heated front seats, and silver gauge faces complete the specification.

Production

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.
