The 997 generation of the Porsche 911, launched in 2004, marked a return to the classic round headlight design after the polarizing "fried egg" lights of its 996 predecessor. Widely considered a high point in modern 911 design, the 997 blended timeless aesthetics with contemporary performance and luxury. The Carrera 4S, in particular, offered a compelling package, combining the wider body of the Turbo with the naturally aspirated 3.8-liter flat-six engine, producing 355 horsepower in its initial form. Its all-wheel-drive system provided enhanced traction and confidence, especially in adverse conditions, making it a highly capable grand tourer and a favorite among enthusiasts who appreciated its blend of everyday usability and genuine sports car thrill. This 2009 Carrera 4S Convertible, showing 54,517 miles, represents the final year of the desirable pre-facelift 997.1 models, before the introduction of direct injection. Powered by its original 3.8L H6 engine paired with an automatic transmission, this example presents a unique aesthetic. Its Carfax report notes a minor damage incident to the rear, which has since been addressed and enhanced with an aggressive aftermarket rear bumper and a striking fixed rear wing that perfectly complements the car's iconic 911 styling. Having spent its entire life in the warm, dry climates of California and Nevada, this Porsche has benefited from ideal conditions for long-term preservation, further supported by an extensive service history primarily from authorized Porsche dealerships. This Carrera 4S is poised for its next chapter, ready to deliver open-air exhilaration and classic 911 performance.
