Porsche Carrera Turbo
The Type 997, or simply
997 (nine-nine-seven) is the internal code
name for Porsche's most current version of
the sports car "911 Carrera". Production
began in July 2005 and two variants, the Carrera
and Carrera S coupes, were available immediately.
The all wheel drive Carrera 4 and Carrera
4S versions began shipping in November 2005.
While the exterior styling
is changed and especially the 997 Carrera
S and Carrera 4S models don't share any parts
with its predecessor, the 996, it is again
more evolution than revolution, typical of
Porsche and the Carrera. The most notable
difference between 997 and outgoing 996 is
the return to circular headlights, like those
of pre-996 Carreras, with separate indicator
units. The interior has been almost entirely
re-invented and all the controls are new.
