About this car
The 2008 Porsche 911 Carrera S pairs Carrara White paint with a Black interior for a striking yet timeless appearance. This rear-wheel-drive coupe has covered just 18,989 miles and is powered by a 3.8L H6 engine paired with an automatic transmission. The driver-focused cockpit and balanced chassis deliver the precise handling expected from the 997-generation 911.
Every journey is supported by a comprehensive suite of Porsche-engineered systems that enhance both performance and comfort. Features such as Porsche Active Suspension Management with 10mm lowering, Porsche Stability Management, and automatic brake differential work together with the automatic extending rear spoiler and Vario-Cam Plus variable valve timing. The cabin offers leather seat trim, power-adjustable front bucket seats with lumbar support, and a power moonroof, while the 9-speaker AM/FM/CD audio system with MP3 capability provides clear entertainment.
Additional equipment includes Bi-Xenon headlights with washers, rain-sensing wipers with heated nozzles, heated power mirrors with memory, and keyless entry. Safety provisions encompass ABS, traction control, side-impact and side-curtain airbags, tire-pressure monitoring, and the Porsche side-impact protection system. Practical touches such as automatic climate control with active carbon filter, HomeLink, illuminated door entry guards scripted “Carrera S,” and split-folding rear seats complete the specification.

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.
