2009 Porsche 911 (997.2) Carrera S PDK Cabriolet: The final evolution to what many die-hard enthusiasts consider to be the last of its kind, from its famed pendulum properties that are viewed by some as serving as the 911’s charismatic conscience and is an alluring attribute that isn’t as apparent in its successor, the frank yet fabulous feedback as given by its hydraulic assisted steering, to its old-school-driver’s-car aura you’re met with up upon entry that only continues in the most illustrious way when piloting it, are just a few of the many covetable traits that make the 6th generation 911 astoundingly desirable amongst today’s offerings and possesses all the right elements in positioning it to be a contemporary classic.
This 1-Owner and preferably optioned Carrera S displays an odometer reading of a very low miles 1,XXX miles from new, displays a Clean CARFAX Report and features the following equipment/factory-ordered options (Original MSRP of $113,750): Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK); Heated Front Seats; Heated Steering Wheel; Wheel Caps with Colored Crest; Seat Ventilation; Bluetooth Phone Interface; Sport Chrono Package Plus; Navigation Module for PCM; Bose High End Sound Package; XM Radio; Floor Mats in Interior Color; Multi-fnctn Strng Whl-Lthr-PDK; Universal Audio Interface; Guards Red; Pwr Comfort Seats w/Driver Mem; Sand Beige Standard Leather; Cabriolet roof in Black; Porsche Crest in Headrest.
Showcased on the Carrera S‘ distinctive 19-inch double-spoke wheels with a body finished in the surfacing saluting and forever iconic red tone of Guards Red over a highly complementary Sand Beige Standard Leather upholstered cabin featuring embossed Porsche crests located on the headrests of the heated and cooled Comfort Seats, Sand Beige carpeting, light-finished stitching found throughout, and an audio experience provided by the optioned Bose High End Sound System while the option of allowing the atmosphere to be fully invited in by way of retracting the Black finished soft top.
Equipped with the optioned Sport Chrono Package Plus and the „rapid-fire-gear-changes-without-zero-power-interruption“ PDK transmission, it not only allows for a reduction in the time that it takes to go from 0-60 (the coupling of the duo allows for a time of approximately 4.5 seconds) but the intensification of one’s heart-rate increases exponentially as you’re granted the Sport Plus button. When pressed, euphoric motorsport-channeled characteristics never felt so tangible as it allows for racetrack-enhanced traits such as Launch Control to be made available while the PDK system experiences immensely decreased shift times and favorable shift points for peak acceleration.
The 997.2 represents the final iteration of the 911’s iconic svelte and „right-sized“ silhouette, taking form from previous generations; with the 991 and now 992 911s, this is lost. Though featuring a suite of electronic conveniences, it’s still largely analog and this sought-after characteristic isn’t tainted by the „powers that be“; the S variant comes equipped as standard with the sought-after Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) system (aids in intensifying the already scalpel-like handling characteristics) along with a naturally aspirated engine with nearly 400-hp that’s shared with the 991 as well as updated interior components. This 911 generation beautifully borrows things from the new generation, yet still retains the old ideologies of what makes a 911, a 911.
