2009 Porsche 911 Carrera S (997.2) – Meteor Grey MetallicThe Ultimate Analogue 911 Experience
Rare 6-Speed Manual with GT3 RS Short-Shift | Just 16,200 km | By Appointment Only
Dream to Achieve. A Once-in-a-Generation Specification.
The Porsche 997.2 Carrera S represents what many enthusiasts consider the perfect balance in 911 evolution - modern engineering integrity paired with classic, analogue driving purity. This 2009 MY10 example elevates that formula to new heights through an extraordinary combination of rare factory options and genuine Motorsport enhancements, creating what may well be one of the most compelling driver-focused 997.2 Carrera S models available today.
The Carrera S Difference: More Than Just Extra Horsepower
While all 997-generation 911s are special, the Carrera S represents a significant step up from the base Carrera:
• 3.8L Flat-6 Engine (vs 3.6L in base Carrera) producing 355 HP - a 30 HP advantage
• Wider Rear Body (1.7 inches broader than base) with signature Carrera S rear fenders
• Standard Porsche Active Suspension (PASM) for adjustable damping
• Larger Brakes with red callipers (13.4" front vs 12.5" on base)
• Standard Sport Seats with enhanced bolstering
• Standard 19" Wheels (vs 18" on base Carrera)
The Rarity of Three Pedals
In an era when Porsche's customer base was increasingly opting for convenience, this Carrera S defied the trend with its pure, three-pedal layout. The numbers tell the story:
• Only 1 in 20 997.2 Carrera S models left Zuffenhausen with a manual transmission
• The last 911 generation to offer this transmission before the 991's shift-by-wire system
• A dying breed even when new, now becoming a collector-grade feature
But this transmission's story gets even more interesting...
The Motorsport Difference: GT3 RS Short-Shift Upgrade
While the standard Carrera S manual gearbox is excellent, this example received special treatment from Porsche's Motorsport division:
• Factory-arranged installation of the same short-shift mechanism used in the legendary 997 GT3 RS
• Shorter 30% throw compared to the standard Carrera S linkage
• Positive, mechanical engagement that transforms the shifting experience
• Genuine Porsche Motorsport heritage - installed at their race department facility
This isn't an aftermarket modification - it's how Porsche's engineers themselves would have upgraded the car, making it one of the most compelling road-going 911s for the true driving enthusiast.
The exterior's Meteor Grey Metallic is more than just paint - it's a chameleon-like hue that shifts from deep charcoal to warm grey depending on light. This provides the perfect canvas for:
• Porsche Exclusive Deep Grey leather interior - a specification so rare we've seen fewer than a handful worldwide
• Full carbon fibre trim package - including dashboard, centre console and door panels
• Sport Design 19" wheels in matching grey metallic - the perfect period-correct choice
• All instrument dials in White
Why the 997.2 Carrera S Matters
This generation represents the end of an era:
- Last hydraulic steering system - delivering unmatched feedback
- Final naturally-aspirated Carrera S before turbocharging
- Perfect 911 proportions before growth in subsequent generations
- Mezger-engineered reliability in the DNA
Preserved for the Discerning Collector
With just 16200 km and maintained regardless of cost, this Carrera S presents in exceptional condition throughout. The combination of:
• Genuine rarity (manual transmission)
• Factory-arranged Motorsport upgrades
• Extraordinarily well-considered specification
• Low mileage and excellent preservation
• On offer also is a highly desirable ' MAN997' NSW custom plates
