Finished in GT Silver Metallic over Grey Natural Leather upholstery, this 2006 Porsche 997 Carrera 4S Coupe features a 6-speed manual transmission and was configured at an original sticker price of approximately $ 145k. Factory options include the X51 Carrera Power Kit, a Sport Shifter, Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes, 19” Carrera Classic wheels, extensive carbon fiber interior trim, the Bose High-End Sound Package, Custom Tailoring (Special Wishes that require further communication), and much more. Showing just over 47k miles on the odometer, this generously appointed C4S is now being offered for auction by its seller out of Oregon.
This 997 Carrera 4S is presented in GT Silver Metallic and showcases wider rear bodywork compared to the standard Carrera model. Optional features include yellow ceramic brake calipers, 5mm wheel spacers, and 19” Carrera Classic wheels with colored Porsche-crested center caps. Additional equipment includes integrated fog lights, self-dimming mirrors, a sunroof, a speed-activated rear spoiler, and quad exhaust outlets. Detailed images are provided in the gallery along with a clean CARFAX report.
The cabin presents Grey Natural Leather upholstery complemented by a carbon fiber three-spoke multifunction steering wheel, a carbon fiber rear center console, the Carbon Fiber Switch Panel Package, the Carbon Package, and carbon door finishers. The seller notes the Adaptive Sport Seats have been swapped for standard seats. A list of factory options is provided below:
The naturally aspirated 3.8-liter flat-six engine features the optional X51 Carrera Power Kit, which provides a factory-rated output of up to 380 HP and 306 lb.-ft of torque. Power is sent to all four wheels through a 6-speed manual transmission. Performance options include a Sport Shifter, Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes (PCCB), and the Sport Chrono Package Plus. The CARFAX report shows a total of 18 service history entries, and no outstanding maintenance items have been reported.
This sale will include a clean title.
The seller would like you to know: “This right here is an extremely rare car to find! What we have is a 2006 911 4S with a Carrera Power Kit (X51 package). This option in 2006 was $16,900! It included GT3 headers, GT3 throttle body, a revised intake manifold, carbon fiber dual inlet intake box, and some internal motor work as well. All this combined boosted the 3.8 ~30hp. Whoever optioned this car out new didn't stop there. It has a complete full leather interior with every carbon fiber package you could get, Bose surround sound, Carrera Classic wheels, and ceramic brakes! We have yet to see a 997.1 Carrera 4s with a sticker of $144,000. Someone here will be getting a very special car. Good luck to everyone!”

my bad, read other comments and see this is answered, sorry!
So... the lighting on interior pics is pretty weak. To be sure, the seats are GREY and not black? THX
DME has been posted along with a cold start video

@khoality @awindmiller Thank you for sharing your inspection.
The car has mild cylinder wall scoring present on one cylinder, which is a known and relatively common issue on 997.1-generation Porsche 911s. This has been professionally inspected and confirmed to be non-progressive at this stage. Importantly, many of these engines continue to run strong for tens of thousands of miles with similar or greater wear without performance loss or reliability issues, especially when the car is properly maintained and not abused.
This is a very common discussion in the Porsche enthusiast world, and the fact that it's confined to a single cylinder and hasn't worsened is a good sign.
I will post a cold start video to show the car does not smoke on start.
@Awindmiller pictures aren't super clear, issues with cylinder #5? I'm not sure what I'm looking at!
Also thank you for doing god's work!
I set up a google drive with my PPI from 7/26/24. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1m-ZYo2IAceto3cB7vsmrk_Xyse43rwYn?usp=sharing
@Awindmiller I would love to see it, please let me know how I can exchange info!
PPI done? IMS/Bore Scoring issues?
I have full Natural Grey leather in my ‘11 Cayman S. I think most of these photos depict the color well. The color is not anywhere near black and not even an overly dark grey. Very handsome in my humble opinion!
How much over the price the PCA member in North Carolina sold it to you for are you hoping for ? This car was $67k in August 2024. Just curious.
@exert The seats that are in the car currently are also Natural grey leather. As I mentioned previously, at some point in one of its ownerships, the sport seats must have been swapped out. The client we had received this car from had bought it like this.
@gpmotors Someone swapped out the Adaptive Sports Seats in natural leather for black standard seats in standard leather? So now the interior is a mix of natural leather and standard leather? Do you know what happened to the original seats?
Thank you for a genuine driving video. GLWTA. A fabulous vehicle.
@Awindmiller I’d like to see the PPI as well. Thanks!
@Awindmiller Id like to see PPI report- any red flags?
@keith_k Yes, one of the previous owners had swapped out the sport seats to the standard seats.
Grey Natural is pretty much black in most lightings. Only on direct sunlight do you see a bit of grey.
Great spec on this one. I notice the option list shows Adaptive Sport Seats, but the car appears to have the standard seats now. Also the Interior option is listed as Grey Natural Leather, but looks black. Is the Grey Natural leather just really dark?
Bid in the amount of $60,000
@Awindmiller I’m interested in seeing the PPI report
@Awindmiller Please send us a private message
@Azguy238 Yes, PSE comes with the X51 package
Does this car have PSE...Porsche Sports Exhaust?
I almost bought this car and have a PPI report if anyone is interested in seeing it.
