About this car
The 2009 Porsche 911 Carrera S Coupe presents a compelling blend of classic 911 proportions and performance-oriented engineering. Finished in Black over a Carrera Red interior, this low-mileage example has covered just 44,340 miles and is powered by a 3.8-liter flat-six engine paired with an automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive.
With a naturally aspirated H6 displacing 3.8 liters, the Carrera S delivers the signature Porsche driving experience through its responsive powertrain and balanced chassis dynamics. Fuel economy ratings of 22 mpg city and 29 mpg highway complement the coupe’s efficient yet potent character, while the compact dimensions of 178.8 inches in length and 51.3 inches in height underscore its agile footprint.
Inside, the Carrera Red cabin provides a sport-focused environment with seating for four. The overall design emphasizes driver engagement, from the wide 79.7-inch stance to the purposeful layout of this two-door coupe.

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.
