Background
Production of the second generation 997 series 911 Carrera 4S began in 2009, it featured an all new engine with Direct Fuel Injection DFI which is mounted 10mm lower in the car, revised suspension system, new front bumper with larger air intakes, LED rear and front daylight running lights, all new Porsche Communication Management PCM System with touchscreen, hard drive navigation and Bluetooth.
“Behind the second-generation 997's redesign lies one of the most significant sports cars of the moment. The 911 has always made sense for its practicality and dynamism, but now it’s even more polished, even quicker and significantly greener. It’s even better to drive. Porsche has played down the changes to the suspension, but they have completely eliminated the old car’s tendency to bob its nose up and down in response to changes in road surface and elevation. So you can lean on the front end with far more confidence now, while the 911’s trademark steering remains intact, offering stacks of feedback and instant turn-in. It's pliant and handles brilliantly – a great mix.”

Exterior
Our hand selected Porsche 911 Carrera 4S Cabriolet looks stunning in Gloss Black, a striking colour for the 997.2, especially with the red strip reflector on the rear of the wider bodyshell. Just the Carrera 4 and Carrera 4S models came in the 4.4cm wider body shell, the Carrera 2 and 2S were only sold in the narrow 911 body. The 19-inch Carrera S II wheels finished in metallic BBS Silver are the perfect contrast to the paintwork. The 911 Carrera 4S has been machine polished and waxed with Autofinesse Soul Carnauba Wax by us, which will help protect the paintwork and repel surface contaminants. All the trim has a perfect finish, as do the front and clear rear lights, which are free from any damage or moisture buildup. The windows drop as they should when you open the door. The engine and boot struts also operate as they should. The black convertible fabric hood is fully electric and operates perfectly, stowing away in its own compartment behind the rear seats. It has been treated with the Autoglym hood cleaner and water repellent treatment so is in as new condition. The convertible hood can be operated remotely with the Porsche keys or even on the move, up to around 30mph should the weather change suddenly.
Interior
The optional 12-way Electric Leather Seats come with Lumbar Support System, so you can adjust the seat exactly to your preferences including the curvature of your spine, making these incredibly comfortable seats on short or extended journeys. They are combined with the optional seat memory function which supports both exterior mirrors and all seat positions on the driver’s side, stored on the individual keys and memory panel on the drivers door. The seats also come with the incredibly rare 3-stage Ventilated Seat Option, these are extremely effective at keeping you cool on the hottest days. The seats also have the optional 2-stage heating system and heated steering wheel, both perfect for keeping you warm in the winter months. There are no major marks or signs of wear to any of the trim, panels or switchgear, with the leather retaining a wholly fresh appearance throughout.
Engine and Transmission
Our 911 Carrera 4S is equipped with the 3.8 litre flat six DFI engine, which addressed all previous weaknesses of the 996 and 997 first generation engines. The engine produces 385bhp and 310ft-lb of torque. The axle load distribution of approximately 40:60 ensures high directional stability and superb road behaviour. The engine starts cleanly when cold or hot, there is no smoke whatsoever either at startup or when driving. There are no unusual sounds or rattles when the engine is running.
Our 911 Carrera 4S is equipped with the highly desired switchable sports suspension system, which includes the dashboard switch that stiffens the suspension in an instant, increasing connection to the road. It is also fitted with Sport Chrono Package Plus, which adds a SPORT and SPORT PLUS button that sharpen the throttle response, decreases shift speeds, hold gears for longer and blips the throttle on downshifts whilst also adding a dashboard mounted stopwatch to add to the sporting image of the C4S.
The optional 7-speed double-clutch PDK transmission system provides instant changes, unleashing the power of the engine with minimal fuss. Because it has been specified in combination with Sport Chrono Package Plus, it unlocks additional shift speeds in both SPORT PLUS and LAUNCH CONTROL modes. These modes are only available with these options selected from the factory along with PDK. They enable the Carrera 4S to respond and accelerate faster than the standard car, reducing the in-gear acceleration and the headline 0-60mph time by 0.4 seconds to just 4.5 seconds.
Another addition is the exceptional Porsche Switchable Sports Exhaust PSE which significantly improves the sound of the 911 on any journey, without being too loud or intrusive.
Wheels, Tyres and Brakes
Our 911 Carrera 4S comes fitted with the optional 19-inch Carrera S II Lightweight Alloy Wheels which are finished in metallic BBS Silver. They are in great original condition.. The brakes are phenomenal, with factory Guards Red callipers and PORSCHE lettering in white, cross drilled and vented discs front and rear with plenty of life left in them. The tyres are Pirelli P-Zero Porsche N rated high performance tyres with plenty of tread all round.
The car is HPI clear and comes complete with 6 months warranty and roadside/home assistance, which can be extended up to 2 years. We are a Hertfordshire based Porsche Specialist, all our Porsche are kept indoors, ready to view by appointment regardless of the weather.
