Porsche 911 997 Carrera 4S (2008)

Kickdown's Take
by Moritz HelbichA 997 Carrera 4S with a manual transmission is exactly the combination that connoisseurs are looking for today. The beige leather interior with houndstooth patterns on the center panels makes this 911 a real head-turner. Cylinders that have just been endoscopically inspected with no issues found, new spark plugs and ignition coils, replaced front control arms, and a TÜV inspection valid through 2028 speak for themselves. Manual 997s are increasingly sought after and are among the most interesting modern 911s.

Comments of this past auction
Sind die Schäden des Albums „Sonstige“ behoben worden?
Technik: Im Jahr 2008 wurde die Modellreihe einem Facelift unterzogen (im Sprachgebrauch sodann 997.2 bzw. 997 MK2 genannt): Die Lufteinlässe und Stoßfänger wurden geändert und erstmals im 911 sind die Rückleuchten, Blinker, Bremslichter und das Tagfahr- und Positionslicht (Standlicht) mit Leuchtdioden ausgeführt. Eine weitere Neuerung sind die serienmäßigen Bi-Xenon-Scheinwerfer sowie das optionale Kurvenlicht. Die allradgetriebenen Modelle Carrera 4, Carrera 4S sowie Targa 4 und Targa 4S haben jetzt eine rote Leiste zwischen den Rückleuchten. Die größte Veränderung fand beim Antrieb statt: Die völlig neu konstruierten DFI-Motoren (Direct Fuel Injection) arbeiten mit Benzindirekteinspritzung. Porsche gibt eine höhere Leistung bei gleichzeitig verringertem Verbrauch an. So haben die Modelle Carrera und Carrera 4 eine Leistungssteigerung um 15 kW (20 PS) auf 254 kW (345 PS) erfahren; bei den Modellen Carrera S und Carrera 4S wurde die Leistung von 261 kW (355 PS) auf 283 kW (385 PS) gesteigert.
