The 997-generation Porsche 911 Carrera S is widely regarded as one of the finest expressions of Stuttgart's legendary rear-engined icon. Taking over from the slightly (and perhaps unfairly) controversial 996, it boasted a return to classic styling cues with a slight uptick in performance and larger wheels. With its naturally aspirated 3.8-litre flat-six engine and a chassis honed over decades of evolution, the Carrera S offered a compelling blend of everyday usability and genuine sporting ability that continues to attract enthusiasts and collectors alike. it's arguably the sweet spot in the modern Porsche lineage.
This 2006 example, showing 53,000 miles, is reported to be completely standard and unmodified, and is quite the handsome looker. The vendor informs us that the car presents in very good condition throughout, and it has been ceramic coated to help preserve its exterior finish.
Accompanied by a long MOT and with a full service history, this Porsche is a great opportunity to get behind one of Stuttgart's finest.WHOLE_CAR_019.jpg188.54 KB
