About this car
The 2008 Porsche 911 Carrera delivers the signature blend of performance and elegance that defines the 997 generation. Finished in Arctic Silver Metallic with a black leather interior, this coupe pairs its 3.6L H6 engine with an automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive to produce 325 horsepower at 6800 RPM. With 130,676 miles, the car maintains its iconic stance through features such as the power sunroof, automatic extending rear spoiler, and full underbody paneling.
Engineering highlights include the horizontally opposed DOHC 24-valve six-cylinder with dry-sump lubrication, oil cooler, and Vario-Cam Plus variable valve timing, supported by a dual-mass flywheel and engine drag torque control. Power is delivered through a stainless steel exhaust with twin brushed steel tailpipes, while the chassis benefits from front and rear stabilizer bars, MacPherson strut front suspension, and multi-link rear suspension with coil springs. Braking comes from power four-wheel vented discs with four-piston monobloc calipers and black brake calipers.
Driver convenience is enhanced by rain-sensing front wipers with heated washer nozzles, power heated mirrors with memory, halogen headlights, front and rear fog lights, and a front air dam with black intakes. Inside, the 2+2 seating arrangement features split-folding rear seats, power seats with lumbar support, heated seats, and illuminated door entry guards with Carrera script. The PCM system includes a 5.8-inch color display, paired with automatic climate control featuring an active carbon filter, rear window defogger, Homelink, cruise control, and power windows with auto up/down and anti-pinch protection.

The Porsche 911 Carrera 4 (997 generation) was produced from 2005 to 2012 as part of the fifth iteration of the iconic 911 lineup. This all-wheel-drive variant of the Carrera offered enhanced traction and stability, appealing to drivers seeking performance in varied conditions. Approximately 30,000 units of the Carrera 4 and Carrera 4S (the more powerful version) were produced across coupe, cabriolet, and Targa body styles, making it less rare than some limited-edition 911 models but still desirable among collectors for its refined engineering.
Equipped with a naturally aspirated flat-six engine, the base Carrera 4 (2005-2008) delivered 325 horsepower from a 3.6-liter displacement, while the later 2009-2012 models featured a 3.6-liter with 345 horsepower. The Carrera 4S offered a 3.8-liter engine, producing 355 horsepower (early models) and up to 385 horsepower (later models). Performance highlights include a 0-60 mph time of around 4.5-5.0 seconds, depending on the model and transmission (manual or PDK dual-clutch). Its historical significance lies in being the last 911 generation before the full transition to turbocharged engines in the 991 series, adding to its appeal. Values have remained stable or appreciated slightly, especially for well-maintained, low-mileage examples or rare configurations like
