The Porsche 911 Carrera S 997.2 was available between 2009 (late 2008 in Europe) and 2012 as a mid-cycle refresh for the variant. 9,470 coupes were built and a convertible was also available. The "S" variant was rated at 385hp and given more efficiency due to standards in Europe. These 6-speed manual transmission cars were seen as "standard" for the model. The 997 was succeeded by the Carrera S 991.1.
