About this car
The 2009 Porsche 911 Carrera S Cabriolet pairs its Pewter exterior with a Black interior and the potent 3.8L H6 engine mated to a PDK dual-clutch automatic transmission in rear-wheel-drive configuration. This 997.2-generation example features the Sport Chrono Plus Package, which adds Sport and Sport Plus driving modes along with a dashboard stopwatch for sharper throttle response and more aggressive shift programming.
With 71,868 miles, the car delivers the direct-injection flat-six performance and everyday refinement that define the generation, complemented by a power convertible soft top, 19-inch Carrera S II wheels, and Porsche Active Suspension Management. Bi-Xenon HID headlights, rain-sensing wipers, a power rear spoiler, and Porsche Stability Management complete the dynamic package.
Inside, heated power leather seats, automatic climate control, Porsche Communication Management, and a premium sound system provide comfort and connectivity on every drive.

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.
