About this car
This 2007 Porsche 911 Carrera S Coupe pairs Atlas Grey Metallic paint with Black leather upholstery over a 3.8L H6 engine and six-speed manual transmission. The rear-wheel-drive coupe shows 49,300 miles and carries the understated, driver-focused character that defines the 997.1 generation. Its naturally aspirated flat-six delivers the classic 911 experience with hydraulic steering feel and compact proportions that later models have moved away from.
Factory options on this example include the Sport Exhaust System, 19-inch Turbo wheels, and 5mm wheel spacers that give the car its planted stance. Inside, Supple Leather covers the front and rear seats while the Power Seat Package adds adjustability. Bose High End Sound, self-dimming mirrors, and a rear window wiper complete the specification, along with Black Mats with Porsche Lettering.
The Carrera S remains one of the most sought-after 997 variants because it adds meaningful performance and presence without venturing into Turbo or GT3 territory. This particular car combines the right color, the right mechanical options, and a clean history that makes it stand out among available examples.

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.
