About this car
The 2006 Porsche 911 Carrera S Coupe presents a compelling example of Porsche engineering, finished in striking Arctic Silver Metallic over a Stone Grey Leather interior. With 86,657 miles, this low-mileage example has been maintained to preserve its signature driving dynamics and timeless design.
Power comes from a naturally aspirated 3.8L H6 engine paired with an automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive. The flat-six delivers responsive performance, supported by 22 city and 29 highway MPG ratings when running on premium unleaded fuel. Its compact coupe proportions—measuring 178.8 inches in length, 79.7 inches wide, and 51.3 inches tall—enhance the balanced handling that defines the 911 lineup.
Seating for four is trimmed in supple leather, while the overall specification emphasizes the Carrera S’s blend of grand-touring comfort and sports-car precision. Every element reflects the meticulous build quality expected from Porsche’s flagship sports car.

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.
