About this car
The 2008 Porsche 911 Carrera S pairs Meteor Grey Metallic paint with Carrera Red Natural Leather to create a distinctive 997 that balances understated aggression with bold personality. Powered by a 3.8L H6 engine paired with an automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive, this coupe has covered 52,915 miles while retaining the classic proportions and planted stance that define the generation.
Factory options elevate the specification beyond the standard Carrera S. The car was equipped with 19-inch Turbo wheels, 5mm wheel spacers, widebody elements, self-dimming mirrors, red taillights, and gear lever trim finished in the exterior color. Inside, the Power Seat Package adds heated front seats, while Porsche crest headrests, a leather rear center console, and deviating carpet complete a tailored cabin.
Audio and navigation upgrades include the Bose High End Sound Package and the Navigation Module for PCM. Natural leather trim throughout the interior gives the cabin a richer, more premium feel that complements the Carrera Red colorway.

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.
