Porsche 997.2 Carrera S for Sale
RPM is pleased to offer this 2008 Porsche 997 Carrera 2S Cabriolet, presented in Basalt Black Metallic with an extended Black Leather interior. This generation 2 example pairs timeless looks with the updated technology and reliability of the later model.
Powered by a 3.8-litre naturally aspirated flat-six producing 385 BHP, the Carrera 2S offers a compelling blend of performance and everyday usability. Fitted with the desirable 7-speed PDK transmission and equipped with the Sports Chrono Package Plus, this Cabriolet accelerates from 0–62 mph in just 4.5 seconds. It’s a car that feels agile, responsive and composed – open-top motoring with real dynamic depth.
With only 42,303 miles on the clock, this 997 C2S Cabriolet has been carefully maintained and remains in excellent condition throughout. First registered and supplied by Porsche Centre Reading in July 2008, it represents a standout example from an era often regarded as the sweet spot of 911 development, the last of the truly analogue-feeling cars before modern electronics became more dominant. With its hydraulic steering, naturally aspirated powertrain and compact dimensions, the 997 delivers a driving experience that feels connected, involving and refreshingly pure.
