Porsche 911 (997) All models including Turbo and GT 2004-2009 Ultimate Buyer's Guide

The Porsche 911 is a radical rear-engine sports car design that has been honed and developed for well over forty years. In that time it has become a motoring legend. One of the reasons for the 911's enduring appeal is Porsche's policy of constantly improving and evolving the car in line with drivers' demands, while at the same time retaining the car's core appeal as a compact, involving, high performance sports car.

Honed on the racetrack, but practical and reliable enough to use every day, the 911 legend lives on with the introduction of the 997 series. In the 997 series, the 911 has evolved yet again into a market leading range of involving but practical sports cars fit for the 21st century. At its introduction in late 2004, there were just two 997 models - the Carrera with 325bhp (238kW) or the 355bhp (260kW) Carrera S.Nevertheless, in typically Porsche style the range soon expanded to include cabriolets, wide-body four wheel drive models, awesome turbocharged grand tourers and race-bred GT3s.
