Transmission - 66k Miles - Dark Blue Metallic - Black Interior
What's in a name? According to the old saying, those four words
imply that consideration must be taken to understand a title,
ranking, or place in a hierarchy or family. In this case, we are
talking about the 911 Carrera family. The car offered for your
consideration is a Carrera S, which thanks to a Porsche's new
approach with engines, is a slight departure from Porsche's
traditional naming nomenclature. You see this car has turbos, but
is not called a Carrera Turbo. Odd, but there is a method to the
madness in Stuttgart. The S, which we understand denotes Sport,
means a difference of about 50 horsepower more than a base Carrera.
We use the term standard loosely, since even the base or standard
Carreras are amazing cars. With today's technology it is fairly
easy for manufacturers to create different engine variations and
power using the same base engine. This car is ready to put a big
grin on a new owner's face. For your consideration is this Night
Blue Metallic Carrera S coupe. It's an understated color on a
performance car which is capable of throwing you back in your seat
at the blink of an eye. The Night Blue Metallic exterior is
understated until the car is in bright sunlight, then the beauty of
the color comes out. Paired with the blue paint are black Porsche
wheels wrapped in Bridgestone tires. Another hint of the
performance capabilities are red brake calipers front and rear,
which really pop against the surrounding dark colors. The factory
Carrera S badging at the rear of the car has been omitted, which
may be an effort to fly under the radar a little bit. Other
exterior highlights are LED lighting, sunroof, quad exhaust tips,
and an active rear spoiler. A luxurious interior full of controls
for all the various driver assist systems, and comfort and
convenience options is no surprise in this car. Among the controls
are options for traction control, suspension settings, Sport mode
settings, spoiler settings, and stability control settings. Seating
surfaces are black leather, while an alcantara headliner and black
carpeting finish off the interior styling. At the rear of the car
is a 3.0 Liter twin turbocharged Flat-6 engine. Boost is the big
difference in the engine department, as the extra power is produced
by allowing the Turbos to create more boost. 16 psi to be exact.
More boost means more power, which means a bigger grin on drivers
faces. For those who remember that the Porsche Turbo cars were the
only Carreras that had turbochargers strapped to the engine, this
is a peculiar idea. Porsche still sells the 911 Turbo, but as with
past generations, Carreras badged only as Turbo are toward the top
of the line in the power production game. This Carrera S offers 420
horsepower, which will leave you on a high after a good punch of
the throttle. A 7-speed manual transmission handles gear selection,
giving the car longer legs for high speed cruising. Sure, to
Porsche purists it is a bit odd to have a Carrera which is not
badged simply as Turbo and to have a turbo - or two - strapped to
the engine. As you would expect though, Porsche has the 3.0 liter
twin turbo engine which is mounted at the rear of this car all
dialed in. Torque, and power delivery are sure to put your head
back on the seat, and a smile on your face. This car's iconic
Carrera shape finished in Night Blue Metallic, over black leather
interior makes for a beautiful car. Make room in your life for a
few extra, and maybe unexpected, turbochargers. They're sure to
boost your mood. Please call if interested or e-mail with specific
questions. Thank you for looking.
