The 997 generation of the Porsche 911, launched in 2004, marked a triumphant return to classic 911 design cues after the more radical 996. Enthusiasts lauded its round headlights and sculpted fenders, echoing the beloved air-cooled era while pushing performance boundaries. The Carrera S variant, introduced alongside the base Carrera, brought a significant upgrade: a larger 3.8-liter flat-six engine, producing 355 horsepower and a noticeable bump in torque. This allowed for a 0-60 mph sprint in just 4.6 seconds and a top speed of 182 mph, firmly establishing the 997.1 Carrera S as a formidable sports car and a high point in modern 911 evolution. This particular 2006 Carrera S exemplifies the discerning taste of its original owner, showing just 13,301 miles on the odometer. Its Midnight Blue Metallic exterior, a sophisticated choice, is beautifully complemented by a Stone Grey interior. The driving experience is pure Porsche, thanks to its engaging 6-speed manual transmission, a feature increasingly cherished in today's automotive landscape. Further enhancing its appeal, this example boasts the Sport Chrono Package, Power Seats with Memory, Heated Seats, and the immersive Bose Sound system. Unique Porsche Exclusive options, such as the exterior color dash trim strip and the rear center console painted in Midnight Blue Metallic, truly set this low-mileage 997 apart. This Carrera S offers a rare chance to acquire a meticulously specified and preserved example of a modern Porsche icon.
