Launched for the 2019 model year, the 992 Carrera S represents the eighth generation of the iconic 911. It's powered by a 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged flat-six producing 443 hp, a notable increase over its predecessor. The 992 introduced a wider body as standard, a new 8-speed PDK dual-clutch transmission, and a completely redesigned interior with modern tech while retaining classic 911 design cues.
The Carrera S hits the sweet spot for many enthusiasts. It offers a significant performance advantage over the base Carrera without the higher cost and track-focused nature of the GT3. The introduction of a 7-speed manual transmission option for the 2020 model year further boosted its appeal for purists. It's a highly capable sports car that works just as well as a daily driver, making it a very desirable package.
With 393 sales averaging $163,830, the 992 S market is robust. Early production cars are becoming more affordable, but low-mileage examples with desirable options still command prices well over their original sticker. The wide price range, which stretches to over $800,000, is influenced by unique specifications and one-off charity cars like the 'Sally Special,' which distort the top end of the market. Most examples trade between $130,000 and $200,000.
Buying Tips
- The 7-speed manual transmission, available from 2020, is rare and commands a premium over the excellent 8-speed PDK.
- Key options that boost value include the Sport Chrono Package, Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC), rear-axle steering, and the sport exhaust system.
- Always get a pre-purchase inspection from a Porsche specialist. Ask for a DME report to check for engine over-revs, which is especially important on manual transmission cars.
- Prioritize cars with an existing factory or Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) warranty, as repairs can be costly.
- Check for high-quality paint protection film (PPF) on the front end. It's a common and desirable addition that protects against rock chips.
Based on 393 sales, prices for the 992 Carrera S range from $94,000 for early models to $805,992 for highly optioned or special editions.
