Dealer Comments

Porsche Palm Springs is delighted to showcase, this Classic 1997 Porsche 911 Carrera S Dressed in an evocative Black exterior with a Black interior and with just 109,944 miles to its name, this vehicle is a testament to the timeless combination of performance, craftsmanship, and sophistication that Porsche embodies.

The 911 Carrera S stands as a beacon of classic Porsche design and performance, its Black exterior emphasizing the unmistakable curves and wide-bodied proportions of the legendary 993 generation. Adorned with 18-inch Technology Hollow-Spoke Wheels measuring 8 J x 18 in front with 225/40 ZR 18 tires and 10 J x 18 at the rear with 285/30 ZR 18 tires, it presents a purposeful and athletic stance. Rear-wheel drive and the engaging 6-speed manual transmission further reinforce the pure, driver-focused character for which the air-cooled 911 has become renowned.

Step inside and the Black interior greets you, exuding the focused elegance and craftsmanship synonymous with Porsche. The left Comfort Seat with full 8-way electrical adjustment provides an ideal combination of support and convenience, while the classic driver-oriented cockpit places the essential controls within easy reach. Every element reflects the purposeful simplicity and enduring character that define the 993-generation 911.

Engine and Performance: At the heart of this classic sports car is Porsche's naturally aspirated 3.6-liter air-cooled boxer six-cylinder engine, producing 285 horsepower and 250 lb-ft of torque. Power is delivered to the rear wheels through an engaging 6-speed manual transmission, providing the mechanical connection and responsiveness enthusiasts expect from a classic 911. The Automatic Braking Differential (ABD) and Limited Slip Differential (LSD) enhance traction and power delivery, complementing the Carrera S's balanced chassis and unmistakably analog driving experience.

Key Features:

• 18-Inch Technology Hollow-Spoke Wheels: Classic Porsche wheels featuring 8 J x 18 front fitment with 225/40 ZR 18 tires and 10 J x 18 rear fitment with 285/30 ZR 18 tires, accentuating the Carrera S's wide and purposeful stance.

• 6-Speed Manual Transmission: Delivers an engaging and direct connection between driver and Porsche's legendary air-cooled flat-six engine.

• Rear-Wheel Drive: Preserves the traditional 911 driving experience with rewarding handling characteristics and classic rear-engine dynamics.

• Comfort Seat with Full Electrical Adjustment: The left Comfort Seat features full 8-way electrical adjustment for enhanced support and personalized positioning.

• Automatic Braking Differential (ABD): Helps optimize traction by managing wheelspin and enhancing stability during spirited driving.

• Limited Slip Differential (LSD): Complements the manual transmission and rear-wheel-drive configuration by improving traction and controlled power delivery.
