The story
Our black 2008 Porsche 911 Carrera coupe was a 997.2 with a six-speed manual gearbox. It is a previous member of The Stable, recorded here with photographs from our ownership.
The updated Carrera combined a 3.6-litre, direct-injected, naturally aspirated flat-six with hydraulic power steering. The manual gearbox connects this car to a different side of the 997.2 range from the optional PDK transmission.
For the differences between the two 997 generations and practical inspection advice, read our Porsche 997 buying guide, which includes more photographs of this car.
