Porsche 911 2009 (09) - S 2dr

When it comes to water cooled Porsches, the 997 generation 911 is arguably the most popular. They had done away with the somewhat divisive looks of the 996, added more power, better quality interiors and resolved some of the reliability issues that plagued the earlier generations.It should be no surprise that their popularity continues to grow as these cars develop into modern classics. Across the full range of models, from Carrera to GT3, every rung of the 997 ladder is lined with automotive gold.This example is quite special, as a 2009 model year 997.2 Carrera S Cabriolet. For the facelifted 997.2, Porsche added more power, tweaked the handling, updated the interiors and lifted the exterior with new lights, bumpers and trims.This car is also special as it is a factory manual car, finished in Basalt Black over a black interior. It wears a set of 19 inch multi spoke alloys finished in bright silver and subtle Carrera S badging.The interior is everything you would expect of a Porsche. The highest quality materials, with an excellent standard of finish and German precision throughout. Leather adorns nearly every tangible surface, a smooth finish everywhere except the seats, which feature perforations throughout the centres. Optioned from new with Porsche PCM infotainment system, it has just enough tech to enjoy without getting distracted from the real reason you buy a Porsche - to drive it.And drive it you will. As this is a Carrera S, you are treated to a 3.8 litre flat six that in this 997.2 guise produces 380 bhp. In todays world we are blinded by enormous power figures but that is not to be dismissed - it is similar to the power of a Ferrari Testarossa. Power is sent exclusively to the rear wheels via a 6 speed manual gearbox.The 911 has built a reputation for being an everyday sports car or supercar, and whilst these cars are remarkably reliable and dependable, they do require regular maintenance. This car has been cared for both via the main dealer network and Porsche specialists.
