About this car
The 2010 Porsche 911 Carrera S Cabriolet pairs Arctic Silver Metallic paint with a Black Standard Leather interior and a power-folding Black Cabriolet top. Its 3.8L H6 engine delivers power through a 7-speed PDK automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive, while the Sport Chrono Package Plus sharpens throttle response and shift points. With 36,540 miles showing, this example remains a focused open-air 911 that balances daily usability with genuine sports-car character.
Dynamic Cornering Lights, bi-xenon headlights with washers, and Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes (PCCB) equip the car for confident performance in varied conditions. Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) lowers the ride height and firms the dampers, and 19-inch Carrera S II wheels wrapped in summer performance tires complete the chassis. The automatic climate control, rain-sensing wipers, and keyless entry add everyday refinement without diluting the driving experience.
Inside, power comfort seats with driver memory and heating provide long-distance support, while the BOSE High End Sound Package, Navigation Module for PCM, Bluetooth interface, Universal Audio Interface, and XM Radio deliver modern connectivity. Additional details such as the 3-spoke leather-wrapped steering wheel, aluminum interior trim, and illuminated entry guards underscore the 997’s blend of precision and luxury.

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.
