2008 Porsche 911 997 Carrera S

Since it first stunned the world in 1963, the iconic 911 coupe has been through nine successful generations in its role as the backbone of Porsche.

Generation six, known internally at Porsche as Type 997 is fast becoming known as the single best modern 911 money can buy.

“It’s a seriously quick car and it’s the one that most enthusiasts want” Evo Magazine, Feb 18 2013 on the 997 Carrera S Buyers Guide.

An ideal blend of racing heritage, driver centric technology and supreme build quality, the 997 Carera S is a sweet-spot within the line-up. It features PASM- switchable adaptive damping- as standard plus variable-ratio steering and stability control, then there was the optional Sport Chrono pack, which, as well as the retro style dash-mounted stopwatch, offered a Sport button that quickens throttle response, stiffens damping and loosening the traction control reins.

The S also offered extra top-end power and mid-range torque from the larger 3.8-litre engine, bigger brakes, 19inch wheels and Xenon lights.

The car offered is a superb 2008 911 Type 997 Carrera S ordered in the sharp combination of Basalt Black over two-tone Black and Tan leather trim and has travelled just 35,000 kilometres. Brilliantly optioned, this car features:

Exceptionally well maintained both inside and out this Carrera S is accompanied by a complete Porsche and specialist service history, an extensive list of service receipts, both original keys and Porsche options sheet.

From the firm sports seats and mint condition dash controls to the as new exterior, all of the hallmarks we look for in a meticulously maintained car are here.
