GT Silver 2006 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S Manual with 20K Miles
About this vehicle
GT Silver Metallic, 997-generation body, 20,535 miles. That's really the whole pitch right there — except it isn't, because this 2006 Carrera 4S rewards a closer look. The 997.1 brought back oval, round-lens headlights, which settled a lot of arguments the 996's unconventional face had started. Then the 4S goes a step further: rear fenders running 44 mm wider than those on the standard Carrera S, and you feel that extra width the moment the car's behind you at a stoplight.
Under the lid sits Porsche's 3.8-liter water-cooled flat-six, the M97/01, rated at 355 hp at 6,600 rpm and 295 lb-ft of torque at 4,600 rpm — a meaningful jump over the 3.6L engine in the base Carrera. Power routes through a 6-speed manual. Porsche's all-wheel-drive system distributes it across all four corners, and the factory claimed 0–60 in 4.6 seconds with a 179 mph top end. No qualifications needed on those numbers.
PASM — Porsche Active Suspension Management — came fitted as standard on the Carrera 4S, which put this car among the first Porsche road cars with electronically controlled adaptive dampers since the 959. Springs drop 10 mm versus non-S models. The dampers adjust continuously, so the car corners with real precision without turning every expansion joint into an event. Red Brembo calipers at all four corners handle braking, a clear upgrade over the black-caliper setup that went on the base Carrera and Carrera 4.
Title is clean. Located in Prospect, CT, presenting in GT Silver Metallic throughout. Finding a well-specced manual 997.1 4S at mileage like this is genuinely difficult — the wider body, AWD, 3.8-liter engine, and six-speed gearbox don't often land together at numbers this low.
