About this car

The 2008 Porsche 911 Carrera S pairs its signature 3.8L H6 engine with a six-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel drive, delivering 355 horsepower in a classic 997-generation coupe. Finished in Black over Black leather, this example includes the Sport Chrono Package for adjustable performance modes along with PASM sport suspension and red brake calipers.

Every drive is enhanced by the car's balanced chassis and precise steering, while the sliding power sunroof, automatic extending rear spoiler, and 19-inch premium wheels maintain the model's timeless presence. Inside, dual power heated seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and automatic climate control with active carbon filter create a focused yet comfortable cabin.

Advanced audio comes from the Bose premium sound system with AM/FM stereo, single-disc CD/MP3 player, and communication management display, while convenience features include keyless entry, HomeLink, rain-sensing wipers, and power windows with auto up/down and anti-pinch protection.

Powertrain
Combustion

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.
