2010 Porsche 997.2 911 Carrera S Cabriolet

Description

The 997.2 Porsche 911 Carrera S Cabriolet represents a near-perfect balance between everyday usability and high-performance driving, wrapped in one of the most iconic shapes in automotive history. Introduced in 2009 as part of the facelifted 997 generation, the “Gen 2” brought significant upgrades over its predecessor, most notably under the skin.

At the heart of the 997.2 Carrera S Cabriolet is a newly developed 3.8-litre flat-six engine, now featuring direct fuel injection (DFI), delivering 385hp and 420 Nm of torque. This allowed for quicker throttle response, improved efficiency, and a higher redline. When paired with the lightning-quick 7-speed PDK dual-clutch transmission, it sprints from 0-100 km/h in just over 4.5 seconds, roof up or down.

Top-down driving in the Carrera S Cabriolet is an experience in itself. Porsche’s fully automatic fabric roof operates in just 20 seconds, and with minimal wind buffeting and a surprisingly rigid chassis, the car remains composed and responsive. Porsche’s Active Suspension Management (PASM) and optional Sport Chrono further sharpen the driving dynamics, making it equally at home on a mountain pass or the motorway.

Visually, the 997.2 features subtle but effective refinements: LED daytime running lights, revised bumpers, and taillights give it a more modern and aggressive stance, while the interior benefits from a reworked PCM infotainment system and improved materials throughout.

The example we have on offer presents beautifully with only 64326km. This car steps away from the usual Porsche Silver, being finished in Blue over black leather interior with silver rims and red callipers to contrast, making for a stunning spec. Being a 997.2, it comes standard with PDK, optioned with the Sports Chrono Package, and comes with Full Service History. The Carrera S Cabriolet occupies a sweet spot in 911 lineage, combining analog driving pleasure with just the right amount of modern technology. It’s a car that invites you to drive, rewards skill, and never forgets its roots.
