The Appeal
The Carrera S is arguably the sweet spot of the 997 range, mixing analogue engagement with elevated performance. These cars got the 350bhp 3.8L engine plus sharper steering and suspension.
This car adds a Tiptronic box and the clever Sport Chrono Package to its list of factory specifications. Finished in grey/blue with black leather, it also has a glass sunroof and smart five-spoke 19-inch alloys. Throughout it is a really tidy car that has clearly been looked after by its handful of keepers.
The vendor tells us that he acquired the car in 2021 from specialist Paragon Porsche. He’s entrusted the same dealer to service the car ever since. Other work has included replacing the exhaust flange bolts and suspension arms at the front and rear. The pistons have been camera-checked for bore score with no issues found.
With advisory-free MOT to August 2026, this low-mileage car has the right specification and maintenance provenance to stand out.
The vendor says:
“Car drives incredibly well, it’s very responsive, exactly what you’d expect of a 911.”
