Porsche 997.2 Carrera 4S

The facelifted 997.2 generation is widely considered one of the greatest modern Porsche 911s ever built. It represents the final Carrera generation to combine hydraulic steering with a naturally aspirated flat-six engine, offering an authentic driving experience that many enthusiasts believe was never quite replicated by later generations equipped with electric steering.
Power comes from Porsche’s outstanding 3.8-litre Direct Fuel Injection flat-six engine producing 385 horsepower and 420 Nm of torque. The DFI engine introduced with the 997.2 generation significantly improved reliability while eliminating the well-known IMS bearing concerns associated with earlier water-cooled engines.

Combined with Porsche’s lightning-fast PDK dual-clutch transmission and intelligent all-wheel-drive system, the Carrera 4S accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.7 seconds before reaching a top speed of 297 km/h. Even by today’s standards, its performance remains seriously impressive, while the naturally aspirated flat-six delivers the unmistakable soundtrack and razor-sharp throttle response that have made the 997.2 increasingly desirable among Porsche enthusiasts worldwide.

The Carrera 4S has always occupied a very special place within the 997 range. Sharing its wide rear body with the contemporary 911 Turbo, the rear body is 44 mm wider than the standard Carrera, giving the car an unmistakably muscular stance while maintaining the timeless elegance of the classic 911 silhouette. Together with the signature full-width rear reflector strip, the Carrera 4S is widely regarded as one of the most beautifully proportioned modern Porsche 911s ever produced.

Finished in the exceptionally rare Amethyst Metallic (LM4Z), this example immediately distinguishes itself from the vast majority of 997 models finished in more common colours such as Black, Silver or Grey. Amethyst Metallic is one of Porsche’s most distinctive and seldom-seen factory colours, offering a unique appearance that changes beautifully depending on the light. Rich shades of deep aubergine, bronze and warm metallic reflections perfectly highlight the sculpted lines of the wide-body Carrera 4S.

Combined with the Black full leather interior, the result is an elegant, timeless and highly exclusive specification that is rarely encountered today.
Perhaps even more impressive than its specification is its outstanding maintenance history.

Throughout its entire life, the car has been serviced exclusively by official Porsche Centres:

• November 2012 – 8,373 km – Porsche AG Stuttgart

Every service has been carried out according to Porsche’s factory maintenance schedule, demonstrating the exceptional level of care this car has received since new.

The vehicle benefited from Porsche Approved Warranty coverage for many years. The warranty could only no longer be renewed because the vehicle exceeded Porsche’s current maximum age limit of 15 years—not because of any technical issue.
To confirm its outstanding condition, the car has recently passed a complete Porsche 111-Point Inspection without any remarks, clearly demonstrating its exceptional mechanical and cosmetic condition.
This Carrera 4S is completely accident-free.

The current owner nevertheless chose to have the front bumper and bonnet professionally refinished purely for cosmetic reasons in order to achieve an immaculate appearance. This work is fully documented with photographs and was not related to accident damage.

As a passionate Porsche enthusiast, the current owner also carried out several tasteful cosmetic refinements, all of which remain completely reversible.
The original silver “Carrera 4S” rear script was replaced with a discreet black “911” emblem, creating a cleaner rear appearance. The original Carrera 4S emblem is included with the vehicle.
The original red brake calipers were professionally refinished in yellow, a combination that beautifully complements the Amethyst Metallic exterior while maintaining an authentic Porsche appearance.

The original side skirts were replaced with Sport-Design side skirts, giving the car an even more purposeful stance. The original Porsche side skirts accompany the vehicle.
The car was originally specified with the desirable Porsche Exclusive clear/red rear lights (option XXG).

The current owner personally preferred the classic appearance of the standard Porsche rear lights and therefore installed original factory red rear light units. The original Porsche Exclusive rear lights are included with the car, allowing the next owner to choose either configuration.
Importantly, every original factory component removed during these cosmetic enhancements is included, allowing the vehicle to be returned to complete factory specification if desired.

Factory equipment includes:

• C00 German market specification
• XES Illuminated stainless steel door entry guards
• XSC Porsche Crest embossed in headrests
• XXB Aluminium-look fuel filler cap
• XXG Porsche Exclusive clear/red rear lights
• 026 Silver instrument dials
