The Porsche 911 is rightly known as possibly the most useable sportscar on the market. A supercar that can be used daily, the 911 manages to transcend multiple plains to appeal to a broad cross-section of car lovers. The Porsche 991 generation, although only-just superseded, has already cemented itself as a firm favourite amongst fans of 911. This 2014 Porsche Carrera S Cabriolet has 46,461 miles on the clock, and has been impressively spec’d — an extra consideration buyers of used Porsche's must consider, as standard equipment is notoriously thin on the ground in the 911 range.

Exterior and Interior

This Carrera S Cabriolet features a black convertible roof, which matches the Basalt Black Metallic paintwork. It sits on 20” staggered Carrera Classic alloy wheels. Inside this 2014 Porsche 911 Carrera S, is a two-tone leather interior in black and Luxor Beige. This 911 has been optioned with the SportDesign steering wheel — a $250 add-on when new. Also added are the highly-adjustable 14-way power sports seats with memory. The keen-eyed will spy this Carrera S has been fitted with the highly-desirable Sport Chrono package. The first giveaway is the centrally-mounted chronograph clock. But rather than just being a visual enhancement, the Sport Chrono package unlocks several key features on the 911 Carrera S. These features include launch control, dynamic engine mounts and Sports Plus Mode — a mode that, when selected, activates an even more aggressive PDK calibration, a more relaxed stability program, aggressively firm engine mounts, and an extra-sensitive throttle pedal. It also activates the sports exhaust, which is another optional extra this 911 has been given from the factory.

Engine

This Porsche 911 Carrera S is equipped with a 3.8-liter six-cylinder boxer engine. Naturally aspirated, it puts out 395 hp and 325 lb-ft torque. Power is put down via Porsche's sublime 7-speed dual-clutch PDK transmission. The 0-60mph time is 4.1 seconds, but with the Sport Chrono pack (which adds launch control), you can shave off 0.2 seconds meaning this 911 Carrera S will do it in 3.9 seconds.
