Every 2004 to 2012 model year version is described, along with the 3.6- and 3.8-litre engines, and the associated engine management software combinations for the many different national variants.

Handbuch Porsche 911 Typ 997 - Alle Varianten (2004-2012)

With the new 997 Carrera and Carrera S presented in the summer of 2004, Porsche chief designer Harm Lagaay succeeded in bringing the appearance of the sixth 911 generation closer to the original 911 from 1963. Although the technical differences to the predecessor 996 were limited, the new model quickly found great popularity with customers: a total of over 212 000 units left the Porsche production halls.

In this guide for all enthusiastic 911 owners and lovers, Porsche expert Adrian Streather describes the history and technology of the 997, which was produced from model year 2003 (3 program) to 2013 (D program).

The author explains the areas of engine and engine management, transmission and drive, brakes and ABS unit, body and electronic systems as well as interior and controls in a compact and clear manner.
The structure and technical functions of the assembly-specific components are documented in detail and selected maintenance work and tuning measures are described in an easy-to-understand manner with extensive illustrations. A complete list of readable error codes gives a quick overview of possible causes of malfunctions.

Detailed purchasing advice for the coupé, targa and convertible versions as well as a list of the M options offered at the time and a list of customization options from Porsche Exclusive round off this indispensable companion for every 997 driver.
