997 (2005-2012)

Technical data
The Porsche 997, the sixth generation of the Porsche 911 sports car, was manufactured and sold by Porsche from 2004 (as Model Year 2005) until 2013. As an evolution of its predecessor, the 996, the 997 featured notable changes in both interior and exterior styling, most prominently the replacement of the "fried egg" headlamps with the classic "bug eye" units. While the base Carrera retained the same 3,596 cc (3.596 L) flat-6 (Boxer) engine as the 996 Carrera, the Carrera S introduced a new 3,824 cc (3.824 L) flat-6 engine. The 997 cabriolet came standard with a hard top, offering superior protection from unexpected weather conditions compared to the conventional canvas top. This hard top was interchangeable with that available on late 996 cabriolet models. Introduced in 2006, the Targa 4 and 4S versions of the 997 continued the tradition of equipping the Targa models with a glass roof system, akin to predecessors like the 993 and 996. This system allowed the roof to be opened at any speed, dropping down 25 mm and sliding a meter back underneath the rear window. The 997 Turbo, making its debut in February 2006, featured a redesigned front bumper with LED turn signal strips integrated into the air intakes, while the fog lamps were relocated to the corners of the bumpers. Large air vents positioned before and after the rear wheels provided unmistakable visual cues of the Turbo model. Utilizing the wide body shell of the AWD models, the Turbo boasted a more aggressive stance than the base 911 models. Official Porsche figures indicated that the 997 Turbo could accelerate from 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) in 3.9 seconds with the manual transmission and 3.7 seconds with the 5-speed Tiptronic S transmission. In 2009, Porsche updated the 997 lineup, incorporating styling changes, a new engine featuring direct injection, and introducing the new "PDK" dual-clutch transmission. These updates resulted in faster, lighter, and more fuel-efficient models with improved handling. The facelift version of the 997 Turbo unveiled in 2009 received a completely new 6-cylinder, 3.8-liter boxer engine, delivering a maximum power output of 500 PS (368 kW; 493 bhp) and 651 N⋅m (480 lb⋅ft) of torque (700 N⋅m (516 lb⋅ft) with overboost), utilizing revised BorgWarner variable turbine geometry (VTG) turbochargers.
