Porsche 911 997 Carrera 4S (2008)

Kickdown's Take

by Moritz Helbich

A 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.
