The 997 generation of the Porsche 911, produced from 2004 to 2012, is often lauded by enthusiasts as the last of the "analog" 911s, blending modern performance with a more direct, involving driving experience. Its design, a graceful evolution of the classic 911 silhouette, brought back the beloved round headlights that many felt were missed on its 996 predecessor. The Carrera S variant, introduced with a larger, more powerful engine and standard Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM), cemented its place as the sweet spot for many drivers seeking a balance of track capability and road usability. The "dot 2" refresh, arriving in 2008, brought significant updates including direct fuel injection, a revised PDK transmission (though our car thankfully retains three pedals), and subtle styling tweaks, further refining an already exceptional platform. This 2011 Porsche 911 Carrera S represents the pinnacle of the 997.2 generation, presented in a timeless shade of black over a matching black interior. With just 17,543 miles on its 3.8L naturally aspirated flat-six engine, this example has been remarkably well-preserved. Crucially, it features the highly desirable 6-speed manual transmission, a choice that connects the driver intimately with the 385 horsepower on offer, delivering a truly engaging and unfiltered Porsche experience increasingly rare in modern sports cars. This is a chance to acquire a meticulously maintained example of one of the most celebrated modern 911s, ready to thrill its next owner.
