About the Porsche 997:

The Porsche 997 is the current model of the Porsche 911. Production of the Carrera and Carrera S coup�s began in early 2005, all-wheel drive Carrera 4 and Carrera 4S versions began shipping in November 2005, Turbo and GT3 derivatives went on sale in late 2006 and the 911 GT2 in 2007. In addition to the coupe and cabriolet versions, Targa versions of the Carrera 4 and Carrera 4S are available, which carry on with the "glass canopy" roof design used on all Targa 911s since the Type 993 Generation 911.

During 2009 Porsche made comprehensive changes to the 997 lineup which included small styling changes, increases in engine displacement across the board, the addition of Gasoline direct injection and the introduction of the company's new "PDK" Dual clutch transmission as well as other mechanical changes. As a result, the updated 997 models are faster, lighter and more fuel efficient than the outgoing versions and have somewhat better handling. In the case of the 997 Turbo, a comprehensively re-tuned all wheel drive system with an optional "torque vectoring" system was also a part of the upgrades package. The 997 is the most commercially successful 911 of all time, having sold 100,000 units between its introduction in 2005 and July of 2007.

The 997 was revised in 2008 for the 2009 model year. The updated Porsche 911 (called 997 Gen II internally at Porsche) included the following changes: A revised front bumper with larger air intakes, Headlamps with newly optional dual HID projectors, a new LED tail lamp shape, and LED turn signals, 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 dual clutch transmission. 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.
