Description: Introduced in 2004 as a 2005 model, the first thing that needs to be said about the Type 997 is that Porsche worked out the headlight situation. This is perhaps significant, because although the mecha...

If this was the same blue as that techart tuned one later in the article, it would be best
Yeah they can handle great I can admit that and they are great all around cars. I just don't like the looks of them. they all have a beetle looking from end and the same kind of body style through the entire lineup.
Porsche is one of the best companies out there and if you're gonna talk smack about it, then I don't think you know too much about cars. I'm sure if you ever drove in a Porsche Austin you wouldn't be saying this.
More than 100 features and designs are different if you are intrested in little.
@austin if you know about them, they look very different, and if you pay about 160k or so, you get a car that goes from 0-60 in under 3 seconds. Also, magazines have gotten 0-60 times under 4 seconds for thr 991 911 carrera s, so you obviously dont know what your talking about hahaha...
As I said before you have to pay upwards of 100 grand to get anywhere near a 4 second 0-60. Turbo s is more than 150,000.
I was just about to say no Volkswagen beetle comparisons. And Austin the gt3 rs does 0-60 in less than 4 seconds, and the turbo s does it in about 3
I've never understood what's so great about a Porsche. They almost all look the same and u don't get anything below a 4.5 0-60 time until pay 100 grand for one. Pretty much pricy beetles that have been flattened out.
Description: The look of the car is, again, mostly the same as the 996, with the major exception being the headlights. The back of the car is now 3.5 inches wider, although there were enough widebody variants of t...

I think it means 412 since on the next page it says a larger engine produced 493
I was cruising next to a 2012 GT3 RS 4.0 yesterday on the road. amazing machine...
In fact, I saw two of these (one in grey/red and one in orange/black) this weekend
Description: Lastly, there is the GT3 RS 4.0, in which the enlarged engine produces 493 horsepower. Just wait for the full lineup of the Type 991 to be unveiled, you can bet this will only get more complicated. Th...

WOW! There is so much Gen 1 and Gen 2 information intermixed here its crazy! The 997.1 Turbo used the 964 based engine! One of the most notable differences in the 997.2 Turbo was Porsche used the Non-aircooled engine, it is the Carrera Engine.
Description: This made for even smother application of power than even 996's sequential system. The 997 Turbo was even faster than the Porsche Carrera GT, a V10-powered supercar released just two years prior,...

Yeah, im not to inpressed with how the information was laid out here- it reads well but the information is very jumbled
My favorite of the bunch. I saw one of these parked at a Whole Foods parking lot, oddly enough.
Saw this back in january at a car show. Its amazing to just stare at. The rollcage has the accent color too
Would so love to drive one of these one day. Would love to own the 4.0 litre version in my dream collection as it's my favourite 911.
Description: The GT2 became the first Porsche to come equipped with launch control, which has now spread to other models. Turbo S and faster 911 models with launch control have been clocked hitting 60mph in under ...

Saw this spec a little while ago. Best 911 I had ever seen, until I see a GT2 RS or the 4.0 RS.
Description: In 2010 Porsche came out with the 911 Sport Classic, which was another Carrera S built according to a similar philosophy as the Club Coupe. It had a special color, interior touches and offered a speci...
