About this car
This 2006 Porsche 911 Carrera S is finished in Black over Black and rides on a manual transmission with rear-wheel drive. The 3.8L H6 engine delivers naturally aspirated power in a compact coupe body that measures 175.6 inches long, 71.2 inches wide and 51.2 inches tall. With 42,646 miles, the car pairs classic 997 proportions with a well-chosen factory specification that includes the Sport Chrono Package Plus and Adaptive Sport Seats.
The Black exterior is accented by 19-inch Carrera Classic wheels and stainless-steel exhaust pipes, while the cabin features Black Sport Seats trimmed with Guards Red seat belts. Additional equipment includes a rear window wiper, ParkAssist system, navigation for PCM and Black floor mats with Porsche lettering. The combination creates an understated yet purposeful presentation that highlights the model's mechanical character and long-term ownership history.
Factory documentation shows an original MSRP of $90,535, and the car carries a clean accident-free record with consistent maintenance across three previous owners. The Sport Chrono Package Plus sharpens throttle response and includes the signature dashboard stopwatch, complementing the Carrera S chassis and the stronger 3.8-liter flat-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.
