The Porsche bug has stayed with me (with a few exceptions) until the present day! Enthusiastic ownership has allowed me to experience most of the models from the 996 range (over some 6 years) and I am keen to spread the word on these fabulous cars. Combining the practical knowledge gained from ownership along with in-depth research, I am pleased to be working alongside well known Porsche expert Peter Morgan in presenting this Ultimate Guide to the 996 series 911.. My introduction (back in the late 1980s) was by way of a 250bhp 944 Turbo.

Very comprehensive and up-to-date guide to Porsche 911/997s jim.t This is a beautiful little guide to the Porsche 911 997 series, up to and including the "997.2" second generation models that arrived with the 2009 model year. Lots of info about the new direct-injection motors and the new Porsche "Doppelkupplung" (PDK) transmission.Well written and nicely illustrated. Whet. "Excellent book, the best I have found" according to A. Merrihew. This book is excellent. Lots of pictures and detailed descriptions to help you decide on the best model and year for you. I could not ask for more.. Bruce Warne said Good book - suffers from so-so editing. Lots of pics, lots of information.Simple page headers that reflected the section headings would have made it so much more readable.
At launch in late 2004, there were just two 997 models available – the Carrera and the Carrera S. 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. 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! This all-new Ultimate Buyers' Guide introduces all the production 997 types, describing the technical specifications, identification data, performance, colors and options. Using color photography of the cars and many actual problem areas, we discuss what to look for
