About this car
This 2008 Porsche 911 Carrera S pairs its signature rear-engine layout with a 3.8L H6 powerplant and a 5-speed automatic transmission featuring Tiptronic S and steering-wheel-mounted selectors. Finished in Slate Gray Metallic over a Black leather interior, the coupe has covered 77,940 miles while retaining its classic proportions and driver-focused cockpit. Rear-wheel drive, adaptive suspension, and speed-sensing steering deliver the balanced handling expected from the model.
High-Intensity Discharge headlights with washers and front fog lights illuminate the road, while a power moonroof, rain-sensing wipers, and heated mirrors add everyday usability. Inside, power-adjustable front bucket seats, a leather shift knob, sport steering wheel, automatic climate control, and a premium AM/FM/CD/MP3 audio system create a refined yet engaging environment. Practical touches include a front center armrest, illuminated door entry guards with Carrera S script, HomeLink garage-door transmitter, and an overhead console.
Safety and performance equipment encompasses electronic stability control, traction control, four-wheel independent adaptive suspension with anti-roll bars, 4-wheel disc brakes with ABS and brake assist, dual front and side airbags with overhead protection, occupant sensing, low tire pressure monitoring, remote keyless entry, and a security system. The exterior also features body-color bumpers, an automatic extending rear spoiler, and red brake calipers.

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.
