About this car
This 2006 Porsche 911 Carrera S Coupe pairs the iconic 911 silhouette with the enhanced performance of the S model. Finished in striking GT Silver Metallic, the coupe showcases the classic wide-body stance, sculpted fenders, and purposeful proportions that define the generation. The cabin is trimmed in rich Special Cocoa full leather, creating an intimate, driver-focused environment with supportive seating for four.
Power comes from a naturally aspirated 3.8-liter flat-six paired exclusively with a six-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel drive. The engine delivers strong mid-range pull and the signature high-revving character expected of a Carrera S, while the manual gearbox provides direct, engaging control. Official ratings of 22 city and 29 highway MPG underscore the balance of performance and efficiency achieved by this 911.
With 55,045 miles, this example remains a capable and rewarding driver’s car that retains the sharp handling and precise steering that made the 997-generation Carrera S a benchmark sports coupe.

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.
