About this car

The 2008 Porsche 911 Carrera S Cabriolet carries Arctic Silver Metallic paint over a black interior and rides on 19-inch Carrera S aluminum wheels. Its 3.8L horizontally opposed six-cylinder engine uses dry-sump lubrication, an oil cooler, and VarioCam Plus variable valve timing, while power reaches the rear wheels through an automatic transmission.

Porsche Active Suspension Management lowers the car 10 mm and works with Porsche Stability Management, automatic brake differential, and engine drag torque control. Power four-wheel vented disc brakes use four-piston monobloc calipers front and rear, and red-painted calipers sit behind the summer tires sized 235/35ZR19 front and 295/30ZR19 rear.

The convertible top folds with a wind deflector. Inside, power front bucket seats include adjustable lumbar support, the three-spoke steering wheel wraps in leather and carries multifunction controls, and the cabin is finished with illuminated Carrera S door guards, automatic climate control, and a PCM system with a 5.8-inch display and nine-speaker audio.

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.
