About this car
This 2008 Porsche 911 Carrera S Cabriolet presents in elegant Meteor Grey Metallic over a black leather interior, combining open-air motoring with the precision expected from Porsche’s iconic 911 lineup. With just 27,383 miles, the low-mileage example delivers the signature blend of performance and refinement that defines the Carrera S.
Power comes from a naturally aspirated 3.8-liter flat-six engine paired with an automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive. The convertible body style allows the driver to enjoy the engine’s distinctive sound while maintaining the structural integrity and handling balance that have made the 911 a benchmark sports car for decades.
Every detail, from the purposeful proportions measuring 178.8 inches in length to the efficient yet potent powertrain delivering 22 mpg city and 28 mpg highway, underscores the car’s dual role as a grand tourer and a driver’s machine.

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.
