2014 PORSCHE 911 CARRERA S 991.1 CABRIOLET PDK

3.8L NATURALLY ASPIRATED FLAT-SIX | SPORTS CHRONO | SPORTS EXHAUST | EXCEPTIONAL SPECIFICATION

There are 911s, and then there are examples with the specification, presentation and history that make you stop and take notice.

This 2014 Porsche 911 Carrera S 991.1 Cabriolet is one of them.
For many Porsche enthusiasts, the 991.1 Carrera S represents a very special period in 911 history. It was the final Carrera S generation powered by Porsches magnificent naturally aspirated 3.8-litre flat-six before the Carrera range moved to turbocharged engines with the 991.2.

For the enthusiast, that matters.
Producing approximately 294kW and 440Nm, the 3.8-litre flat-six is matched to Porsches superb 7-speed PDK dual-clutch transmission, driving the rear wheels.
The combination is exceptional instant throttle response, lightning-fast PDK shifts, beautifully balanced handling and, importantly, the unmistakable sound and character of a naturally aspirated Porsche flat-six.

And being the Cabriolet, you get to experience that engine in arguably the best possible way.
Lower the electrically operated roof, select Sport, open the Porsche Sports Exhaust and let the 3.8-litre engine rev. It is an experience that the later turbocharged Carreras simply deliver differently.

This particular Carrera S has travelled just over 100,000 kilometres and has recently undergone significant servicing and mechanical maintenance.

It has just been serviced and benefits from new brake discs and pads, new tyres all round, new spark plugs and coils, together with replacement filters.
For somebody considering a performance Porsche of this age, that recent expenditure is enormously important.

The specification is equally impressive.
It is fitted with the highly desirable Sports Chrono Package and Porsche Sports Exhaust, two of the options you really want on a naturally aspirated Carrera S.
It also features PDK, adaptive cruise control, extended leather and distinctive white instrument dials.

The presentation is striking.
Finished in Brilliant White, complemented by GT3-style decals, new gloss black alloy wheels and contrasting red brake calipers, it has a purposeful appearance without losing the timeless lines of the 911 Cabriolet.

Inside, the Black leather interior with contrasting white stitching beautifully complements the exterior and gives the cabin a particularly smart, sporting appearance.
This isn't simply a 911 that has been cosmetically prepared for sale. Considerable money has recently been spent where it matters mechanically, and it presents as a properly cared-for Carrera S ready for its next owner to enjoy.

What makes this car particularly appealing is something Porsche no longer offers in a Carrera S a large-capacity naturally aspirated flat-six, rear-wheel drive, Sports Chrono and Sports Exhaust, combined with the ability to put the roof down and hear that engine properly.

It is refined and comfortable enough to use every day, but press the Sport button, open the Sports Exhaust and allow the engine to climb through the rev range and you are very quickly reminded why the 991.1 Carrera S has developed such an enthusiastic following.
Porsche simply doesn't build a Carrera S like this anymore.

At $160,000, this represents an opp
