The 997 Carrera 4S features wider rear bodywork when compared to the standard Carrera, and this example is finished in Basalt Black Metallic. Additional equipment includes bi-xenon headlights, integrated fog lights, a sunroof, a speed-activated rear spoiler, and stainless-steel exhaust outlets. The Carfax report lists damage to the left side of the car in January 2009, with no further details noted. The front bumper cover was repaired in November 2022, and the selling dealer notes a ding in the body, hazy fog light lenses, worn quarter-panel rock guards, and signs of paintwork around the exterior. Photos of paint meter readings are provided in the gallery below.
The 19” Turbo wheels are mounted with 235/35 front and 305/30 rear Michelin Pilot Sport tires. Braking is handled by red Porsche-branded four-piston calipers over 13″ cross-drilled and vented rotors. The car is equipped with Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) and Porsche Stability Management (PSM). The front brake pads and rear rotors and pads were reportedly replaced in November 2020.
The cabin features heated power-adjustable front seats upholstered in black leather that extends to the dashboard and door panels. Interior amenities include red seat belts, a sport shifter, driver-seat position memory, an aftermarket Sony touchscreen stereo, Bose audio, an aftermarket phone mount, automatic climate control, and cruise control. The driver’s seat outer bolster shows wear.
The leather-wrapped steering wheel frames a central tachometer and a 200-mph speedometer as well as gauges for oil temperature, oil pressure, coolant temperature, and fuel level. The optional Sport Chrono Package added a stopwatch atop the dashboard. The digital odometer indicates 106k miles, approximately 13k of which were added under current ownership.
The 3.8-liter flat-six features VarioCam Plus variable valve timing and was factory rated at 355 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque. Noted service included replacing the thermostat and engine drive belt in August 2019 and the water pump in July 2022. A photo of a DME report is included in the gallery below.
Power is routed to all four wheels via a six-speed manual transaxle. Additional underside photos are provided in the gallery below.
