Aluminum Look trim on the rear center console and instrument surrounds adds a subtle motorsport-inspired accent, while the remote six-disc CD changer reflects the premium technology of its era.The 997.1 Carrera S occupies an important place in Porsche history as one of the last truly analog 911s before increasing electronic integration and the later transition to turbocharged Carrera models.
