About this car
The 2009 Porsche 911 Carrera S Cabriolet delivers the signature blend of precision engineering and open-air exhilaration that defines the 911 lineage. Finished in classic Black over Black Leather, this RWD convertible pairs its sleek, aerodynamic profile with a naturally aspirated 3.8L H6 engine and automatic transmission, producing effortless power and refined grand-touring capability.
With 73,349 miles, the car maintains the balanced proportions and performance credentials expected of the Carrera S: a 3.8-liter flat-six, rear-wheel drive, and convertible top that seamlessly transitions between coupe-like composure and open-road freedom. Fuel economy ratings of 22 city / 28 highway mpg further underscore its efficiency for a high-performance convertible of this era.
Overall dimensions of 178.8 inches in length, 79.7 inches in width, and 51.3 inches in height contribute to the model’s planted stance and sporting dynamics, while the four-seat cabin wrapped in supple Black Leather provides both driver engagement and passenger comfort.

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.
