Porsche 997 Carrera S

The 997 is the most commercially successful Porsche 911 of all time. The styling harked back to the revered Porsche 993 era and was widely acclaimed by seasoned Porsche enthusiasts. The much-loved oval-shaped headlights returned, and the interior was re-designed with new controls, more reminiscent of the classic 911 interiors.

As far as the Carrera S is concerned, the driver can take this quite literally. This is where performance is paramount. The car’s performance values are a testament to its inner strength: a 3.9 litre engine with direct fuel injection. The power output is 385 hp at 6,500 rpm. The maximum torque is 420 Nm at 4,400 rpm.

The sound produced by the two stainless steel twin tailpipes is characteristically Porsche. Perfect roadholding is assured by Porsche Active Suspension Management, and the 10-mm lowered suspension. However, along with all these sporting features, this remains a practical everyday sports car.

Supplied new in September 2009, the Carrera S has enjoyed Porsche main dealer servicing and independent Porsche specialist servicing at scheduled intervals. It has recently benefited from a Porsche schedule service, brake fluid change and a new N-rated tyre set. It comes complete with a spare remote key and full driver’s book pack. A 12-month comprehensive warranty will also be included.
