About this car

This 2006 Porsche 911 Carrera S pairs a naturally aspirated 3.8L H6 engine with a 6-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel drive. Finished in Black with Black Leather interior, the coupe has accumulated 91,302 miles while retaining the sharp handling and everyday usability that define the 997 generation.

Power reaches the rear wheels through a limited-slip differential and active brake differential, supported by Porsche Active Suspension Management, Porsche Stability Management, and traction control. The chassis features independent MacPherson strut front suspension, multi-link rear suspension, front and rear stabilizer bars, and 19-inch Carrera S light alloy wheels wrapped in performance tires.

Bi-Xenon headlights with dynamic leveling and washers sit above a power sliding sunroof. Rain-sensing wipers, heated power mirrors, a speed-dependent rear spoiler, and stainless steel door sills complete the exterior. Inside, front sport bucket seats with power backrest adjustment, full leather trim, automatic climate control with carbon filter, and an Alcantara headliner create a focused cockpit.

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.
