The Carrera S has been the volume performance 911 since the 996 era: the base car's balance with a meaningful step in power, brakes, and wheel diameter. The generations here run from the naturally aspirated 3.8-liter 997 and 991 cars to the turbocharged 3.0-liter 991.2 and 992. It is the reference point against which the rest of the sports car market has measured itself for twenty years.
