The Porsche Type 997, or simply 997 is the project code name for the current version of the sports car Porsche 911, built by the German manufacturer Porsche since 2004. Production began in July 2004 and two variants, the Carrera and Carrera S coupés, were available immediately. The all-wheel drive Carrera 4 and Carrera 4S versions began shipping in November 2005, while the Turbo and GT3 derivatives went on sale in late 2006 and the 997 GT2 in 2007. The new 530 hp (395 kW) GT2 can accelerate 0–60 mph of 3.6 seconds and has a top speed of 204 mph (328 km/h)[1]. The Targa top models are also available, in Targa 4 and Targa 4S forms. The 997 is the most commercially successful 911 of all time. As of July 2007 it has sold 100,000 units since its introduction in April 2004.

[edit] First generation
[edit] Design
While the exterior styling is changed—in fact, the 997 Carrera S and Carrera 4S models share only their roof panels with their predecessor, the 996—it is again more evolution than revolution, typical of Porsche and the Carrera. British motoring journalist Jeremy Clarkson (a known detractor of Porsche vehicles, especially the 911) has often voiced the opinion that Porsche had "the laziest design team in the world" due to the almost unnoticeable change in external appearance between the 997 and earlier models. The most notable difference between the 997 and the predecessor 996 is the return to circular headlights, like those of pre-996 Carreras, with separate indicator units. The interior has been almost entirely re-invented and all the controls are new; however, it is more reminiscent of classic 911 interiors than of the outgoing 996. The body in general remains low profile with a drag coefficient of 0.29 for the Carrera and .30 for the Carrera S.[citation needed]
Visually, the rear bodywork is a total of 88 mm (3.5 in) wider.
[edit] Performance
The base Carrera has essentially the same 3.6 L (3596 cc, 219 cu in) flat-6 (Boxer) engine from Type 996 Carrera. The Carrera S uses a new 3.8 L (3824 cc, 233 cu in) flat-6 engine. The X51 Powerkit is available for S, 4S, Targa models, which increases engine power.
According to testing carried out by several American automotive publications, the Turbo model can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in about 3.7 seconds with an automatic transmission and 3.9 seconds with the manual transmission. The Carrera S model is capable of going 0 to 60 mph (97 km/h) in 4.6 seconds, and carries a top speed of 300 km/h (186 mph), while the base Carrera model has 0 to 60 mph (97 km/h) acceleration in 4.8 seconds, with a top speed of 285 km/h (177 mph). Note, however, that these figures contradict the conservative official Porsche figures.
The viscus clutch all wheel drive system (997.1) sends between 5% and 40% of engine torque to the front wheels as needed.
[edit] Cabriolet
For the first time, development of the cabriolet version of the 997 led the design and engineering effort at Porsche with the coupe following. Porsche applied the logic that if you started with the more difficult cabriolet challenges (for chassis stiffness) the coupe version would simply be that more rigid. Despite additional weight, the cabriolet versions attain nearly the same performance figures as their coupe counterparts. Even the rear tail comes up slightly higher on the cabriolets to compensate for differences in drag over the canvas top vice the smoother coupe shape.
[edit] 911 Club Coupe
In 2006, the Porsche 911 Club Coupe[2] was produced in limited numbers (50) as a commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the Porsche Club of America[3]. The first production model was returned to the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart, Germany and one lucky PCA member won the fiftieth model in a sweepstakes drawing. The remaining 48 models were offered to randomly chosen PCA members who applied to purchase this extremely rare car. The Porsche 911 Club Coupe which is available only in the unique Azurro California color, comes equipped with a more powerful 381 PS (376 hp/280 kW) motor, part of the X51 Powerkit. Other features unique to this special model include a vehicle identification number (VIN) which ends with the production number and special commemorative badging and door sills which adorn the interior.
[edit] Turbo
The 997 Turbo debuted in February 2006 at the Geneva Motor Show. It has a new front bumper with turn signals incorporated to look like LED lights in a horizontal bar through the air intake. The fog lights are moved to the corners of the bumpers. Large air intakes in front of and behind the rear wheels are other obvious visual cues. The retractable rear wing is also one of the highlights, a feature which has been available on the 996 Turbo as well.
The engine is reported to be based on the rugged and very reliable 964/GT1 design. The engine is rated 480 PS (473 hp/353 kW) and 620 N·m (457 lb·ft). The turbocharger uses two-stage resonance intake system.
The BorgWarner's Variable Turbine Geometry (VTG), first variable geometry turbines introduced to street Porsche 911 cars, uses guide vanes located in front of the turbine wheel that modulates inflow angle and speed. Variable geometry turbines were previously only available to diesel engined vehicles, but a similar approach was used successfully by Garrett Systems starting in 1989 with the Shelby CSX that utilized a computer controlled variable nozzles instead.
The optional Sport Chrono package allows 911 Turbo to overboost for 10 seconds, increasing peak torque over a narrow rev range.
According to official Porsche figures, it produces 480 hp (358 kW; 487 PS), accelerates 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.9 seconds with the manual transmission, and 3.7 seconds with Tiptronic S transmission. It has also recorded a 60 mph (97 km/h) time of 3.2 seconds at the hands of US motoring publication Motor Trend, eclipsing all of its major competitors and even Porsche's own Carrera GT supercar. The 997 Turbo has an official top speed of 311 km/h (193 mph), though Jeremy Clarkson supposedly took the car to an indicated speed of 322 km/h (200 mph) during his 2008 video special, Clarkson: Thriller.
[edit] Turbo Cabriolet
Porsche AG announced on May 7, 2007 that the 911 Turbo Cabriolet would go on sale in September 2007. The Porsche 997 Turbo Cabriolet is one of the fastest convertible sports cars in production. It is capable of reaching similar top speeds, and acceleration, of the standard Porsche 997 Turbo Coupe. This is considered an astonishing feat because usually the convertible version of cars are much slower than the hardtop variant, due to its slightly less stable aerodynamics associated with its soft roof, and its extra weight caused by the structural reinforcements made necessary by the absence of B and C pillars.
[edit] GT3
The 997 GT3 model also debuted in Geneva in 2006. Like previous GT3 models, it is a way for Porsche to homologate aerodynamic features for racing, as well as a starting model for customer racing. The 997 GT3 was priced at US$106,000. The engine has the same displacement as the Turbo, but without turbocharger and uses a new variable intake system. The engine is rated 415 PS (409 hp/305 kW) and 405 N·m (299 lb·ft)[4]. It has an 8400 rpm redline which is the same as the 612 bhp (456 kW; 620 PS) Carrera GT's. The 3.6L dry-sump engine does not seem to share the rear main seal (RMS) problems of the earliest 3.6L/3.8L semi-dry-sump engines.
The GT3 body includes a special front bumper which increases cooling for the front-mounted radiators as well as a split spoiler at the rear. The GT3 also includes a special rear bumper and center tailpipes which draw heat away from the engine. It is lowered and rides on 30-series 305mm (12in) tires on 19in (483mm) wheels. The car weighs 3075lb (1395 kg).
The 997 GT3 is more driver-friendly than its predecessor, with "comfort" seats and the Porsche Communication Management system installed.
The special RS model[5] came without most of these luxuries out to focus more on track-oriented driving (although the car is still road-legal). The package also included a full rollcage and carbon fiber seats to add to that race-car-for-the-road feel. The RS version was released in Europe in October 2006; the North American release was in March 2007[6]. A racing version of the GT3 RS debuted in 2007, and it was called the 997 GT3 RSR.
The ratios on the six-speed transmission are more aggressive, allowing the GT3 to hit 60 mph (97 km/h) in 4.1 seconds, while the RS accomplishes the same in 4 flat. It will continue to 100 mph (161 km/h) in 9.2 seconds and has an ungoverned top speed of 310 km/h (193 mph).
[edit] Targa
The Targa 4 and Targa 4S versions, like the Porsche 911 Targa of the 993 and 996 generations, are equipped with a glass roof and hatch. At any speed, the roof can be opened where it drops down an inch and slides a metre back underneath the hatch. As the roof weighs an additional 60 kg (132 lb) the suspension has been modified from Carrera models. When the glass roof is retracted, a small glass deflector above the windshield is raised to aid in aerodynamic stability.
Unlike previous versions of the Porsche 911 Targa, the Porsche 997 Targa 4 and Targa 4S have an all-wheel-drive drivetrain, hence the "4" in the name. The naming is to fit in with the naming trend of other Porsche models, namely the Carrera 4 and Carrera 4S, whose "4" in the names are also due to their all-wheel drive systems. Targa 4 models are slightly slower than the hard top Carrera models because the heavier roof and all-wheel-drive drivetrain increases the weight and the inertia associated with acceleration.
[edit] GT2
This is the most powerful and fastest road-going 911 GT2 ever to be sold to the public.[1] The Porsche 996 911 GT2 was superseded by the 997-generation GT2, on sale since November 2007. On Friday July 13, 2007, an official brochure of the 997 GT2 was leaked on the internet.
The 997 GT2 has a twin turbocharged 3.6 litre 6-cylinder engine[1] based on 997 Turbo but Porsche achieved power increase through completely newly designed expansion intake manifold in which the distributor pipe is longer than in Turbo and the intake manifolds are shorter, a full titanium silencer is used also in GT2, even though the Porsche 911 (997) Carrera S variant has a slightly larger engine at 3.8 litres. Despite the power hike, Porsche claims fuel consumption at full throttle is improved by 15 percent compared with the Turbo.[1] The GT2 accelerates in 3.6 seconds to 60 mph (97 km/h) and in 7.4 seconds to 100 mph (161 km/h) and has top speed of 329 km/h (204 mph). This makes it the first Porsche 911 GT2 to exceed the 200 mph (322 km/h) top speed after the 1998 Porsche 911 GT1 Race Version (which is not considered an actual Porsche 911 due to its mid-mounted engine and it only saw roads for homologation purposes). The Porsche 997 GT2 has a curb weight of 1440 kg (3175 lb). Transmission choice includes only a 6-speed manual gearbox.
The GT2 is the first Porsche equipped with launch control, a way of taking off with maximum force while preventing mechanical meltdown.[1] That means the revs are automatically set to the correct level for an optimal launch.[1]
Based on leaked out spy photos its appearance is slightly different from its sister-car, the Porsche 911 (997) Turbo, in a few ways. It does not have fog lights in the front bumper, it has a revised front lip, it has a larger rear wing (with two small air scoops on either side), and it has a different rear bumper (now featuring titanium exhaust pipes).
The Porsche 911 (997) GT2 is also different from the Porsche 911 (997) Turbo because the GT2 is rear-wheel-drive not all-wheel-drive. This causes the Porsche 911 GT2 to have a slightly faster acceleration from 100 km/h (62 mph) than the Manual Porsche 911 Turbo by 0.2 seconds.

[edit] Second generation (2009-)
.JPG)
The 997 was revised in 2008 for the 2009 model year. The updated Porsche 911 (called 997 Gen II internally at Porsche[8]) included following changes:
- A revised front bumper with larger air intakes
- Headlamps with newly optional dual HID projectors, a new LED taillamp shape, and LED turnsignals
- New direct injection engines with redesigned Porsche Sport Exhaust (PSE)
- Redesigned PCM system with optional touch-screen hard-drive navigation
- Tiptronic S option was replaced by PDK (Porsche Doppelkupplung) 7-speed twin-clutch gearbox.[9][10][11]
Production began at late 2008. Pricing was increased from the 997, Gen I; the base Carrera model is set to start at US$ 76,300 for North American buyers.
Initially available models include coupe and cabriolet versions of Carrera, Carrera 4, Carrera S and Carrera 4S. The car was unveiled at the Paris Auto Show in September 2008.
On June 6, 2008, these changes to the Porsche 911 were revealed on the Porsche website. The Turbo will have to wait until the Frankfurt show in September, thereafter the Turbo-based GT2 will be updated.[12]
[edit] Targa (2009-)
The updated Targa and Targa 4S models were announced on the 28th of July 2008.[13]
[edit] GT3 (2010-)
The 2010 Porsche 911 GT3 was unveiled at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show[12], available in Europe from May, in the US from October.[12] To make the GT3 safe for less experienced drivers, the stability control system is available[14] on the 2010 model year GT3 for the first time.[12] Changes to the exterior are only subtle still recognizable[12] bringing about aerodynamic improvements.[12] Total downforce has been doubled.[12]
Power output rises from 415 to 435 hp.[12]
