What truly distinguishes this particular car is its carefully executed and highly tasteful accent specification. All exterior details have been refinished in Aurum Gold Matte (0P9), creating a striking yet sophisticated contrast against the deep green bodywork. Unlike brighter or more ostentatious finishes, the matte Aurum gold delivers a muted, satin-like sheen that enhances the car’s lines without overpowering them. This includes elements such as the wheels, badging, and trim details, all working together to form a cohesive and design-led appearance. The result is a look that feels both contemporary and bespoke something rarely achieved without compromising the original character of the 911.
At its heart lies the naturally aspirated 3.8-liter flat-six engine, producing an unmistakable soundtrack and delivering power in a linear, engaging manner that modern turbocharged units often lack. Paired with precise steering and a well-balanced chassis, the 997 Carrera 4S offers a driving experience that is both involving and confidence-inspiring. It represents a sweet spot in Porsche’s evolution modern enough for comfort and usability, yet analog enough to maintain a strong connection between driver and machine.
The 997 generation is increasingly recognized as one of the last “pure” 911s, offering hydraulic steering, compact dimensions, and a mechanical honesty that has become highly sought after by enthusiasts and collectors alike. In this context, a uniquely specified example such as this finished in an elegant color combination with bespoke detailing stands out even further.
Offered for sale is a highly individual and tastefully specified Porsche 911 (997.1) Carrera 4S Coupé, produced on September 19th, 2006 (Model Year 2007). This example stands out through its rare color combination and extensive factory equipment, further elevated by bespoke Aurum Gold Matte exterior detailing.
Originally delivered in Black (C9X), the car has since been professionally restored and refinished in Forest Green Metallic (Z4 / C9Z). This transformation has been executed to a high standard and gives the car a far more distinctive and elegant presence, perfectly complementing the timeless proportions of the 997 generation.
The wide-body Carrera 4S shell, combined with all-wheel drive, gives the car a purposeful stance and exceptional usability.
Under the rear lid sits the naturally aspirated 3.8-liter flat-six engine (M97/01), paired with the Tiptronic S transmission (249), delivering a refined yet engaging driving experience characteristic of the last analog-era 911s.
