About this car
This 2009 Porsche 911 Carrera S Cabriolet presents in striking Black exterior finish paired with a rich Leather interior, offering open-top motoring with classic 911 proportions. With only 36,309 miles, this well-preserved example delivers the engaging driving dynamics expected from Porsche’s flagship sports car in convertible form.
Power comes from a naturally aspirated 3.8L H6 engine producing strong mid-range torque and a signature flat-six soundtrack, routed through a precise 6-speed manual transmission to the rear wheels. EPA estimates of 22 city and 28 highway mpg complement the car’s balanced performance credentials, while the convertible body style adds versatility without sacrificing the model’s signature handling poise.
Measuring 178.8 inches in length with an overall width of 79.7 inches and height of 51.3 inches, the Carrera S Cabriolet maintains the iconic silhouette while providing four standard seating positions for occasional rear passengers.

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.
