Background
Production of the second generation 997 series 911 Carrera 4S Cabriolet 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 4S Cabriolet looks stunning in its metallic coat of Atlas Grey, a striking colour for the 997.2, especially with the red strip reflector on the rear of the 4.4cm wider bodyshell. The 19-inch Carrera Classic lightweight alloy wheels finished in metallic silver are the perfect contrast to the paintwork. The 911 Carrera 4S Cabriolet has been waxed with Autoglym Ultra High Definition 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. The black convertible fabric hood is fully electric and operates perfectly, including remotely with the Porsche key, stowing away in its own compartment behind the rear seats. It has been treated with the Autoglym hood cleaner and water repellent treatment so is in fantastic condition.
Interior
The 12-way electric seats come with optional 2-stage heating, lumbar support system and Porsche crest embossed headrests, and just like the rest of the special order two-tone Black and Terracotta interior leather, are in excellent condition and provide a perfect contrast to the Atlas Grey bodywork. 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 4S Convertible 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 4S 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 4S is equipped with the highly desired switchable sports suspension system, which includes the dashboard switch that stiffens the suspension in an instant, increasing connection to the road.
The optional 7-speed double-clutch PDK transmission system provides instant changes, unleashing the power of the engine with minimal fuss.
Wheels, Tyres and Brakes
Our 911 Carrera 4S comes fitted with the optional 19-inch Carrera Classic lightweight alloy wheels, which are original, free of damage and corrosion. The brake discs and pads are in good condition with minimal wear. The tyres are N rated Michelin Pilot Sport high performance tyres with plenty of tread all round.
History File
