2009 Porsche 911 Carrera S

This second-generation 997 Carrera S really hits the sweet spot.

It strikes the perfect balance between modern usability and genuine driver involvement. Responsive, intuitive and beautifully connected, it’s easy to understand why the 997 remains one of the most admired modern 911s.

Supplied in October 2008 for the 2009 model year, in pristine Carrara white, sitting lower on Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) and 19 inch Carrera S II alloy wheels with full colour Porsche crest centre caps.

The Sport Chrono Package Plus allows you to tailor the driving experience to suit your mood, sharpening engine and throttle response, delivering faster PDK gear changes and firmer suspension damper control. Combined with the quad tailpipe Sports exhaust system, this 997 delivers the full Porsche experience – 0-62 mph in just 4.3 seconds and a top speed of 186 mph.

The extended black leather interior provides a great contrast to the white bodywork, with heated and, very unusually, ventilated front seats, along with a heated multi function steering wheel.

Complementing the BOSE Surround Sound System is a Kenwood touchscreen head unit with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Bluetooth handsfree calling, DAB radio and digital sound processor. It also features four camera inputs, with a rear-view reversing camera currently installed.
