Porsche 911 Carrera (type 997)

From 2005, the Porsche 911 presented itself as being more diverse than ever before: it was available as a Coupé and Targa, Cabriolet and Speedster, with rear- and all-wheel drive, a slimmer and wider body, with water-cooled naturally aspirated and turbo engines, as a GTS version as well as a GT2, GT2 RS, GT3 and two GT3 RS sports versions. Including special models, the range counts 30 model variants – supplemented by numerous customisation options.

With the design of the 997, Porsche honed the 911's character and gave it an even more dynamic and powerful appearance. The Carrera already looked noticeably more masculine with its more strongly modelled rear, and the S, GT and Turbo models are another 44 millimetres wider. The 997 differentiated itself from its predecessor by the steeper, round, clear-glass headlights, which are an important stylistic element of the air-cooled 911.
