The 2004 Porsche 911 Carrera S (997) is a high-performance rear-wheel drive variant of the 2003 911 Carrera (997). Porsche continued the tradition of adding the "S" to their sportier models.
It is the first Carrera S to be powered by the 3.8 litre flat-six producing 350 bhp at 6,600 rpm and 400 Nm (295 lb-ft.) of torque at 4,600 rpm. Porsche also added PASM (Porsche Active Suspension Management) with two driving modes for different driving conditions.
