The 997 generation 2 cars do not suffer the problems of early 997 generation 1 cars, including IMS bearing failures, RMS leaks and Borescoring, all of these issues were eradicated by Porsche when they designed the all-new direct fuel injection DFI 911 engines for the generation 2 997s.
This 911 Carrera S comes with 2 Porsche keys, all tools, leather manual pack. HPI clear, 12 months MOT, 6 months warranty and roadside/home assistance, which can be extended up to 2 years.

Background
Production of the second generation 997 series 911 Carrera S began in 2009, it featured an all new engine with Direct Fuel Injection DFI which is mounted 10mm lower in the car, revised suspension system, new front bumper with larger air intakes, LED rear and front daylight running lights, all new Porsche Communication Management (PCM) System with touchscreen, hard drive navigation and Bluetooth.
“Behind the second-generation 997’s redesign lies one of the most significant sports cars of the moment. The 911 has always made sense for its practicality and dynamism, but now it’s even more polished, even quicker and significantly greener. It’s even better to drive. Porsche has played down the changes to the suspension, but they have completely eliminated the old car’s tendency to bob its nose up and down in response to changes in road surface and elevation. So you can lean on the front end with far more confidence now, while the 911’s trademark steering remains intact, offering stacks of feedback and instant turn-in. It’s pliant and handles brilliantly – a great mix.”

Exterior
Our hand selected Porsche 911 Carrera S looks stunning in its metallic coat of Basalt Black, a striking colour for the 997.2, especially with the red LED rear lights. The metallic Silver 19-inch Carrera S II lightweight alloy wheels are the perfect compliment to the paintwork. The paintwork condition is excellent, with no blemishes on any panel. The 911 Carrera S has been machine polished and waxed with Autofinesse Soul Carnauba Wax by us, which will help protect the paintwork and repel surface contaminants. All the trim has a perfect finish, as do the front and clear rear lights, which are free from any damage or moisture buildup. The windows drop as they should when you open the door. The engine and boot struts also operate as they should.
Interior
The heated leather Hardback Sport Seats with 2-way electric adjustment and the rest of the extended black leather interior with contrast silver stitching, are in excellent condition and provide a perfect pairing to the Basalt Black bodywork. The Leather Sport Design Steering Wheel elevates the driver focussed feel of the interior. A DAB digital radio Pioneer Headunit has been fitted, which features full Apple CarPlay and Android Auto functionality, bringing the the in-car entertainment up to date. There are no marks or signs of wear to any of the trim, panels or switchgear, with the leather retaining a wholly fresh appearance throughout.
Engine and Transmission
Our 911 Carrera S is equipped with the 3.8 litre flat six DFI engine, which addressed all previous weaknesses of the 996 and 997 first generation engines. The 911 Carrera S engine produces 385bhp and 310ft-lb of torque. The axle load distribution of approximately 40:60 ensures high directional stability and superb road behaviour. The engine starts cleanly when cold or hot, there is no smoke whatsoever either at startup or when driving. There are no unusual sounds or rattles when the engine is running. Our 911 Carrera S is equipped with the highly desired switchable sports suspension system PASM, which includes the dashboard switch that stiffens the suspension in an instant, increasing connection to the road. The Carrera S is also fitted with Sport Chrono Package Plus, which adds a SPORT and SPORT PLUS button that sharpen the throttle response, decreases shift speeds, hold gears for longer and blips the throttle on downshifts whilst also adding a dashboard mounted stopwatch to add to the sporting image of the C2S.
The optional 7-speed double-clutch PDK transmission system provides instant changes, unleashing the power of the engine with minimal fuss. Because it has been specified in combination with Sport Chrono Package Plus, it unlocks additional shift speeds in both SPORT PLUS and LAUNCH CONTROL modes. These modes are only available with these options selected from the factory along with PDK. They enable the Carrera S to respond and accelerate faster than the standard car, reducing the in-gear acceleration and the headline 0-60mph time by 0.4 seconds to just 4.4 seconds.
The 911 Carrera S sounds sensational because it has been fitted with the Akrapovic Titanium Exhaust system, which is now out of production and extremely rare.
Wheels, Tyres and Brakes
Our 911 Carrera S comes fitted with the optional 19-inch Carrera S II lightweight alloy wheels in metallic Silver, which are original, unmarked, free of damage and corrosion. The 911 suspension and wheel alignment has been fully setup by renowned specialists Centre Gravity with 7mm front wheel spacers and 15mm rear wheel spacers. The brake discs and pads are in excellent condition. The tyres are Pirelli P-Zero Porsche N2-rated high performance tyres, with plenty of tread left on them.
