The designates that the car is in the "S" model trim:

Carrera 3.6L 6 cyl 345 hp/288 lb-ft

Carrera S 3.8L 6 cyl 385 hp/310 lb-ft

The "S" is also the "wide body" car (rear fenders to clear larger tires) and sells for around $10K more than the regular car. For more, visit Porsche's website.

Thanks JFP. I guess I wasn't too clear or clear enough in my question as I have a 2008 Carrera S but my S is the silver color just like the word Carrera is. I was wondering how other owners of S models got a red letter S instead of the silver S like the rest of us probably have.

Islands62 has it right. The S versus non S does not make a difference in 997 Body. I think those are remains from the older air cooled days where a Carrera S did in fact get a wider body. In current 997 all the AWD cars get a widebody as do the GT2 and GT3RS.
