The Porsche 997 - the 7th generation of the 911

The latest work by Porsche's chief designer Harm Lagaay was a deliberate homage to the design language of the original 911, replacing the 997's fried-egg lights of the predecessor model with the typical round headlights. These changes were well received by customers and fans of the sports car. these changes were well received by customers and fans of the sports car. The variation was seen as the return of a characteristic feature of the Porsche 911. The mirror-egg lights on the 996 had previously been the subject of occasional discussions. The Porsche 997 was built from 2004 to the end of 2012 and presents a wide variety of models. A total of 213,004 997 sports cars were built.

The 997 generation has a few notable special models like the 911 Sport Classic. Within just 48 hours, all 250 examples of this Model sold. The 911 Speedster, also with 408 hp, was produced in a number of 356 units. A special treat: buyers of the Turbo S Edition 918 Spyder were able to exclusively order the special Edition 918 Spyder model of the 997.2 Turbo S.

The Porsche 997 is a versatile model. A total of 24 model variants have been produced. It is available as

997 Coupé
997 Targa
997 Convertible
997 Speedster
with rear- and all-wheel drive (Carrera 2 and Carrera 4)
with slim and widened body
with water-cooled naturally aspirated and turbo engines
as 997 GTS
as sports versions 997 GT2, 997 GT2 RS, 997 GT3 and two 997 GT3 RS versions
as special models 911 Sport Classic and 911 Speedster, Black Edition and Turbo S Edition 918 Spyder

Porsche 997 PreFacelift (PFL)

Porsche models before the so-called facelift were more visually restrained. The old design became more apparent again in the models of the 997 recognizable. Under the hood in the rear, the further development of the waterboxer moved in. In the S variant, it had a displacement of 3.8 liters. It is therefore more popular than its predecessor, the Porsche 996. Until the facelift, the Porsche 996 and 997 were equipped with engines that had high oil consumption. which had a high oil consumption. This was attributed to the added tolerances between the cylinder and piston ring.

Porsche 997 Facelift (FL)

After four years, Porsche subjected the 997 model series to a technical revamp in various areas in 2008. The revision of the model is referred to as a facelift, and the vehicles are subsequently referred to as the 997.2 and 997 MK2. Externally, the 997 received modified air intakes and bumpers and, for the first time, LED lighting technology. Bi-xenon headlights were fitted as standard. The all-wheel-drive models Carrera 4, Carrera 4S, Targa and Targa 4S were given a red bar between the taillights.

Porsche 997 Carrera 4S Facelift

The biggest change then came in the powertrain: The 997 was equipped with newly designed DFI engines with gasoline direct injection. This brought more performance and lower consumption. In the Porsche 997 Carrera 4S Facelift with the continuous reflector strip, for example, the change in the powertrain brought a change in the powertrain brought a power increase from 261 kW (355 hp) to 283 kW (385 hp). The top speed of the Facelift models is achieved in sixth gear. A Porsche dual-clutch transmission was also installed as an option. The seventh gear is used to save fuel and has a long long gear ratio. This allows it to be shifted without interrupting traction and acceleration figures go through the roof. The S models have a body ten millimeters lower as standard and the electronically controlled Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM). Revised The standard Porsche Communication Management (PCM) system with DVD drive, color display and touchscreen has also been revised. A navigation and navigation and telephone module was offered as an option, as well as a TV tuner that can only be activated when the vehicle is stationary for safety reasons.

Porsche 997 Turbo

With the Porsche 997 Turbo, the sports car manufacturer relied on a world first, developed in close collaboration with BorgWarner Turbo Systems: the Variable Turbine Geometry (VTG). This involves a gasoline engine with a turbocharger with adjustable guide loops on the turbine. With exhaust gas temperatures as high as 1000 degrees Celsius compared with diesel engines, a high-temperature alloy had to be used. In 2007, the Turbo was joined by a Turbo Convertible. The Turbo uses a rear spoiler that automatically extends from a speed of 120 kilometers per kilometers per hour. After the 2009 facelift, the Turbo also received direct injection. Its output thus increased to 300 HP. In 2010, the Turbo S was added.

Porsche 997 GTS

Optically restrained and less sporty than the GT3, the Porsche 997 Carrera GTS came along. On request, it was available as a convertible or with an automated dual-clutch transmission. Compared with the Porsche 911 Carrera GTS, the rear end was widened by 44 millimeters. The classic 911 design is clearly recognizable. The chassis remains unchanged, except for the wider track of the rear axle.

With the 997, Porsche wanted to offer both performance and comfort in the top range, thus combining the virtues of various 911 special models. Compared to the 997 Carrera S, it is significantly more powerful. It is a 408 hp (300 KW) boxer engine. The same power unit is also used in the 997 Classic Sport and the Speedster. The increase in power is due, among other things, to a revision of the intake tract. This revision also helps to optimize the torque and power of this engine, especially in the mid-range. The unit also features a new intake system, improved engine management and modified cylinder heads. The variable resonance intake system is capable of switching between torque- and power-controlled geometry through six flaps.

Despite the enormous power, the 997 GTS is designed for comfort and everyday usability. Thus, no comfort concessions were made here, such as in the GT3 models designed for pure sportiness. The 997 GTS was produced as both a coupe and a convertible. Porsche even offered this model with an automated dual-clutch transmission on request. Apart from the wider track on the rear axle, the chassis is also the same as that of the Carrera S. The chassis' limit range is set high so that the driver will not reach it in normal road traffic. Porsche also attaches importance to a certain level of suspension comfort. Visually, the high-performance model is not too flashy either. A body that is 44 millimeters wider at the rear than the normal Carrera S gives away the fact that it is a GTS. Otherwise, the special model blends inconspicuously and harmoniously into the classic 997 design.

Porsche 997 Sport Classic

Under the designation Sport Classic, Porsche presented a special 997 model in time for the 2009 International Motor Show (IAA). After a three-year development period, the model, which is visually based on older classics, was completed. The 997 Sport Classic is in the tradition of the exclusive small series typical of Porsche in a very limited number of units. Only 250 examples were to be built.

A striking feature is the rear spoiler borrowed from the Carrera RS 2.7 (1973). This is known by the nickname duck rump. Another visual change from regular 997 models is the special curvature of the roof. The double-dome roof is partly reminiscent of the Carrera GT super sports car, but also of the 911 Panamericana study from 1989. The interior also borrows from the old school and is nobly covered in braided leather, woven from yarn and smooth leather strips. Technically, this 911 Sport Classic is based on the 997-series Carrera S. It features rear-wheel drive and the 3.8-liter six-cylinder boxer engine familiar from the regular car. However, the Sport Classic has an increased output of 408 hp (300 KW). This output is no coincidence, but corresponds exactly to the output of the older Porsche 911 Turbo from the 993 series. In the Sport Classic, however, the 911 manages without a turbo. A 200 cubic centimeter larger displacement, direct injection, adjustable camshaft and an innovative intake system enable the Sport Classic to achieve this performance. The same engine is also used in the 997 GTS and 997 Speedster special models.

Porsche 997 Speedster

The strictly limited model variant 997 Speedster appeared on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the Porsche Exclusive line. The Speedster small series has been presented at the Paris Motor Show. Only 356 examples of the Porsche 997 Speedster were manufactured. The special version features some optical modifications compared to the regular 997, as well as increased performance. Visually, the 997 Speedster is more like its predecessor, the 964 series. This can be seen, among other things, a shortened windshield frame. The Speedster adopts some elements of the 997 Sport Classic. These include the 408 hp (300 KW) engine. The black-rimmed main headlights are also an element borrowed from the Sport Classic. Likewise, the fox rims of the 19-inch wheels are part of it. The rear design and exhaust system also correspond to the special 911 Sport Classic model. The Speedster nevertheless follows the classic Porsche Speedster formula. Models in this tradition are flatter and wider than the rest of the model family. The body is basically based on that of the 911 Carrera S convertible, with the rear section widened by 44 millimeters. The Speedster has a shortened windshield frame. This results in a height of just 1.23 meters, or 1.28 meters with the top closed. This makes it the flattest 911 of the model generation (4 centimeters lower than the regular Carrera S Cabrio).

Further, the Speedster is characterized by weight savings. Despite a more powerful engine and significantly more extensive equipment, it weighs no more than the Carrera S Cabriolet (1,540 kilograms). This is made possible by aluminum doors and the absence of rear seats. At the front, the Speedster continues to be recognizable by its darkened front lights and special front trim. It also has special side sills and a specific rear trim. The Speedster appearance is rounded off by the black Speedster lettering. The model has been built exclusively in blue and white.

Porsche 997 "Black Edition"

At the end of 2011, Porsche presented the 997 Black Edition special model. A special feature of the car is the paint finish, which is available exclusively in black. The standard finish is plain black. For an additional charge, Porsche offered the Basalt Black paint finish. Porsche produced the Black Edition in a limited number of 1,911 units, and the car's limitation number is indicated on a plaque on the glove compartment. The Black Edition is distinguished by numerous special equipment features. These include steel door sill trims (including Black Edition lettering). The interior is dominated by aluminum applications. The car has 19-inch wheels as standard. Technical optional extras include a high-quality Bose sound system, navigation system, cruise control and parking assistant. The interior continues the black color scheme. The model comes with a sports steering wheel as standard. The instrument cluster is also kept in black. Only the aluminum trim panels provide a contrast. These adorn the shift panel, selector lever and the edge of the air vents, among other things. Porsche supplied the Black Edition both as a coupe and as a convertible (each equipped with rear-wheel drive).

Porsche 997 Turbo S "Edition 918 Spyder"

With the Porsche 997 Turbo S Edition 918 Spyder, Porsche offered a special model exclusively to customers of the 918 Spyder. Only those who had already pre-ordered a 918 Spyder could purchase this model. Porsche wanted to use it to bridge the wait for the 918 Spyder super sports car. Visually, the Turbo S Edition 918 Spyder is characterized by an Acid Green paint finish on some body parts, which is intended to be reminiscent of the 918 Spyder. The bright green brake calipers are particularly eye-catching. This color scheme is also continued in the interior. Furthermore, this version features an extended range of equipment. These include full leather interior trim and elements and instruments made of carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic.

Another special feature is the limitation number, which is affixed to a plaque in the glove compartment. This corresponds to the number of the 918 Spyder ordered. Due to the binding of this special model to the order of the Spyder, the number of units was limited from the beginning to a maximum of 918 copies. De facto, however, significantly fewer models were actually manufactured.

Porsche 997 Turbo S "10 Years China Anniversary Edition"

The model variant Porsche 997 Turbo S 10 Years China Anniversary Edition has been presented according to its name on the occasion of the celebrations of Porsche's 10th anniversary on the Chinese market. Within this short period of time, China has developed into one of the most important economic countries for Porsche. Technically, it is the regular 911 Turbo S of the 997 series. Visually, the model has a striking gold-bronze paint finish. Unlike the regular Turbo versions, this livery also adorns the sill panels and the lower front and rear skirt areas. In contrast, some body elements are made of visible carbon. These include the trunk lid and exterior mirrors, as well as parts of the rear wing.

The limited edition is just 10 examples, which were offered exclusively on the Chinese Porsche market. The limitation badges are located with consecutive numbers on the front right fender. Porsche has applied a further limitation notice to the lid of the glove compartment. Furthermore, the backrests of the Porsche 997 Turbo S 10 Years China Anniversary Edition feature embroidery with the words "10 Year Anniversary Edition". The interior continues the color scheme of the body. The black leather and Alcantara material find a contrast in gold-colored decorative stitching. Another visual feature is the black zero mark on the steering wheel. The technical basis, the Porsche 997 Turbo S with 530 hp, remains largely the same. As standard, the China Anniversary Edition features the Porsche Doppelkupplungs-Getriebe PDK.

Porsche 997 GT3 MK1: 2006-2008

The Porsche 997.1 GT3 is the third generation of the legendary GT3. The car was first presented to the public at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2006. It was delivered to Porsche Centers in May of the same year. In the first 997 GT3, a 3.6-liter six-cylinder boxer engine produces 415 hp (305 kW). It is based on the engine already familiar from the 996 road and racing versions in the GT3 R, RS and RSR model series. The 997.1 GT3 achieves a top speed of 310 kilometers per hour and accelerates from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour in 4.3 seconds.

The GT3 of the 997 model generation is in the tradition of a sports car reduced to the essentials. Nevertheless, compared to the two previous model generations, it has extensive standard equipment. This includes the innovative PASM, which is an active electronic shock absorber adjustment system. While driving, the system adjusts the shock absorbers of each individual wheel depending on the driving situation.

Compared to the regular 911 Carrera of the 997 generation, the GT3 also differs visually by some features. These include the nose with black spoiler lip. The center radiator has a black exhaust vent (for the center radiator). The 997 GT3 is the only 911 to have center-mounted central exhaust pipes. The striking rear wing serves to increase downforce. The 997 GT3 is considered to be Porsche's first series-production vehicle that no longer develops lift in practice.

Porsche 997 GT3 MK2: 2009-2011

After the model update of the 997-series GT3, the car was given a larger displacement as the 997.2 GT3. From 3.8 liters, the six-cylinder boxer engine now produced 435 hp (320 kW). The engine is based on the Mezger engine with intake manifold injection. This unit also has an increased maximum speed of 8,400 rpm. A special visual and technical feature is the one-piece rear wing. Furthermore, the 997.2 GT3 features new rims including central locking.

Porsche 997 GT3 RS: 2006-2009

The 997 GT3 RS is the homologation model from racing. The RSR version was entered in the GT2 class in the FIA GT Championship. The RS version is road-legal and is basically based on the regular GT3. The RS also inherits the 415-hp six-cylinder boxer engine. Compared with the standard GT3, the RS is 20 kilograms lighter. Porsche has realized this, among other things, by hood and rear window in lightweight construction (plastic) and an adjustable CfK rear wing.

Furthermore, the body is widened by 44 millimeters in the area of the rear fenders. This allows for increased suitability for the racetrack as well as slightly improved acceleration. The RS now needs just 4.2 seconds to accelerate from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour. The standard equipment of the GT3 RS included a complete Clubsport package including roll cage and fire extinguisher.

Porsche 997 GT3 RS 4.0: 2011

As its name suggests, the special GT3 RS 4.0 series has an engine that has been enlarged to four liters. From this displacement, the six-cylinder engine now produces 500 hp (368 kW) and 460 Newton meters of torque. Both displacement and power represented record figures for a 911 GT3 in 2011. With an output per liter of 125 hp, the GT3 RS 4.0 came in with the highest specific output of any naturally aspirated 997 engine in the street-legal versions. The RS 4.0 took the crankshaft directly from the GT3 RSR race car.

Furthermore, the GT3 RS 4.0 saved another 10 kilograms in weight compared to the normal RS. Another special feature is the flics used for the first time on a series-produced 911. These are air scoops mounted on both sides of the front apron. These reduce the lift at the front axle at high driving speeds and thus stabilize the GT3 RS 4.0. Porsche manufactured only 600 copies of the GT3 RS 4.0, which were already sold out in advance of production due to pre-orders.

Porsche 997 GT2

The 997-generation Porsche 911 GT2 has been presented at the 2007 International Motor Show in Frankfurt (Main). The engine of the GT2 is based on that of the 997 Turbo, but has 50 hp more power. Thanks to the more power-efficient expansion intake system, it produces 530 hp (390 kW) and 680 Nm of torque. This power accelerates the 997 GT2 from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour in 3.7 seconds. It reaches a top speed of 329 kilometers per hour. This made the 997 GT2 the fastest and most powerful Porsche 911 produced in series to date. Furthermore, the GT2 is weight-reduced, thanks to more spartan equipment and the absence of emergency seats, insulation and all-wheel drive. As an option, the GT2 can also be equipped with Clubsport package, which includes a roll cage, fire extinguisher and 6-point seat belts.

From the 997 GT3, the GT2 adopts some components of the chassis, such as the height-adjustable struts. The wheels turn out again larger compared to the 997 GT3. Just as in the predecessor model (996 GT2), brake discs made of carbon ceramic are used

Porsche 997 GT2 RS: 2010

The 997 GT2 RS is an even more powerful version of the GT2, which was first unveiled in May 2010. The 3.6-liter six-cylinder biturbo produced 620 hp (456 kW), which accelerates the car from 0 to 100 in 3.5 seconds and to 200 kilometers per hour in 9.4 seconds. The car's top speed is electronically limited at 330 kilometers per hour. The RS version of the GT2 in the 997 model series is once again weight-reduced. Porsche realized this through the use of carbon-fiber-reinforced plastics, including in the rear window and trunk lid.

The GT2 RS was limited to 500 units, which were sold out shortly after its presentation. American driver Jeff Zwart managed a respectable second place in class at the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb in July 2011 in the Porsche GT2 RS (slightly modified).

Porsche 997 GT3 RSR

The GT3 RSR racing version was first used in 2006 at the 24 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps. With displacement bored out to 3.8 liters, the race car produced 465 hp (342 kW). Team Manthey Racing succeeded in winning the 24-hour race at the Nürburgring in 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2011 in this car. The 2009 racing season saw a comprehensive overhaul of the GT3 RSR. Among other things, the successful race car received optimized aerodynamics and a larger displacement of now four liters. Due to a requirement in the regulations, the power output was reduced to 450 hp (331 kW).

The final version of the GT3 RSR was unveiled in November 2011. It featured a body that was widened by 48 millimeters. This also allowed it to accommodate larger front wheels. Furthermore, the 2011 GT3 RSR received additional air scoops in front of the rear fender, while the air intake on the hood was removed. These models were used in 2012 in the American Le Mans Series and in the FIA World Endurance Championship.

Porsche 997 GT3 Cup

The GT3 Cup version of the 997 was first used in 2005. In the Porsche Supercup and, since 2006, in the Porsche Carrera Cup, but also in other racing series run by private teams, the GT3 Cup enjoys great popularity. It is a racing car kept close to series production, which in its first version had a 400 hp (294 kW) boxer engine. Thanks to an adjustable spoiler and an improved front end, the GT3 Cup is characterized by improved downforce, which has been increased by 40 percent compared to its predecessor.

Furthermore, the GT3 Cup features a sequential six-speed transmission including traction interruption. The GT3 Cup took over the wheel carriers from the even more powerful 911 RSR. When it was revised in 2008, the Cup version's output increased to 420 hp (209 kW). After a further revision in 2010, the car was now based on the GT3 RS from 2009, from which it took over the modified bodywork and the engine with 3.8 liters of displacement and 450 hp (331 kW)

Porsche 997 GT3 R

As the 997 GT3 R, Porsche built the successor to the Cup S model. Just like the latter, the GT3 R belongs to the GT3 regulations. This distinguishes it from the 996 GT3 R, which belonged to the GT2 group.

Compared to the 997 Cup, the GT3 R has 0.2 liters more displacement and increased power to 480 hp (353 kW). In terms of improving the car's controllability in critical driving situations, the GT3 R features traction control, electronic intermediate throttle function and ABS as standard. Likewise, the GT3 R was equipped with a larger track width. The 2012 model year saw a major overhaul designed to improve performance and simplify handling. Now the six-cylinder boxer produced 500 hp.
