Produced for just two years in 1997 and 1998, the 993-generation 911 Carrera S model is among the most obscure air-cooled 911s Porsche has ever produced-but given what it offers, it shouldn't be. As the rear-wheel-drive-only counterpart to the more well-known Carrera 4S, the Carrera S features a lowered suspension with wider wheels and the front end styling, flared sills, and rear fender flares from the 911 Turbo. Special interior treatments included Carrera S badging, door panels and sunvisors in Black leather, and a Steel Grey-painted hand brake, door sills, instrument trim, and shift knob. In total, less than 1,000 of the Carrera S model were produced for the U.S. market in the year, making this non-metallic Black example a particularly compelling find for collectors who know what the Carrera S represents.

Completed in Stuttgart in September 1997 as a 1998 model, both the original service book and its Porsche build sheet reveal that this 911 Carrera S was equipped from new with several desirable options-most importantly the engaging six-speed manual transmission and Aerokit front and rear spoilers (XD1 and XD2) which together form the “Aero II” aerodynamics package. Additional highlights include an interior upholstered in optional supple Cashmere Beige leather, leather covered CD storage, oval stainless steel tailpipes, Motor Sound Package, and Litronic headlights. Following production, the Carrera S has been fitted with a pair of highly coveted hardback sport seats in Cashmere Beige and Rest-of-World bumpers for an exceptionally clean look.

Originally delivered through Jim Ellis Porsche (now Porsche Atlanta Perimeter), this Carrera S features a clean CARFAX Vehicle History Report that records only three owners from new. Acquired by its second owner in November 2005 with approximately 50,000 miles traveled, it has seen just 9,000 additional miles in the subsequent two decades, a period punctuated with a dry ice detail and servicing at Tucker Motorsports and The Shop 21 in Ocala, Florida. Most recently, in 2024, new Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 tires were fitted at 58,382 miles and a comprehensive $18,000 service conducted in May 2025 that included new engine seals, fresh oil and filters, new spark plugs, new rear axles, and fresh power steering fluid.

Offered today with only 59,222 miles at cataloging, with recent servicing, a bevy of desirable options, and in a fantastic color scheme, this example represents a rare opportunity to acquire a well-documented example of Porsche's final air-cooled generation 911 Carrera S. Its six-speed manual transmission, Aerokit aerodynamics packages, hardback sport seats, and Rest-of-World bumpers make for an exceptionally well-sorted and visually striking example. With its clean CARFAX Report, original books, toolkit, and service invoices chronicling the car's history from Stuttgart to today, this is the Carrera S that discerning collectors and enthusiasts have been waiting for.
