Porsche 997 T.V. Commercial
The current Porsche 911 is called; ‘type 997’ or 997. 997 is the project code name. The 997 and its variants the Carrera and Carrera S coupes have been made since July 2004 and have been shipping since November 2005. The Turbo and GT3 versions went on sale in late 2006 and the GT2 in 2007. The 997 is the most commercially successful 911 of all time. As of July 2007 it has sold 100,000 units since its introduction in April 2004. The new 530hp GT2 can accelerate 0-60 mph of 3.6 seconds and has a top speed of 204 mph, the first production, street-legal Porsche 911 has a 200+ mph top speed. The Targa top models are also available, in Targa 4 and Targa 4S forms. The 997 is the most commercially successful 911 of all time. As of July 2007 it has sold 100,000 units since its introduction in April 2004.
The base Carrera has essentially the same 3.6L flat-6 engine that its predecessor, the 996 Carrera used. The Carrera S uses a new 3.8L flat-6 engine. Jeremy Clarkson has often voiced the opinion that Porsche had "the laziest design team in the world" due to the almost unnoticeable change in external appearance between the 997 and earlier models. The most notable difference between the 997 and the predecessor 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; however, it is more reminiscent of classic 911 interiors than of the outgoing 996.
The 997 is due for a slight redesign in 2008 (as a 2009 model); planned changes include a revised front bumper with larger air intakes, new headlamps with dual HID projectors, new taillights, direct injection, and a dual clutch gearbox.
In 2006, the Porsche 911 Club Coupewas produced in limited numbers (50) as a commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the Porsche Club of America. The Porsche 911 Club Coupe which is available only in the unique Azurro California colour, comes equipped with a more powerful 381hp motor, part of the X51 Powerkit. It also comes with special commemorative badging and door sills which adorn the interior.
The 997 Turbo debuted in February 2006, the engine is reported to be based on the rugged and very reliable 964/GT1. The 911 Turbo is the first petrol production car to feature variable geometry turbines (previously only available to diesel engined vehicles). According to official Porsche figures, it produces 480hp and accelerates 0-100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.9 seconds with the manual transmission, and a has 0-100 km/h (62 mph) time of just 3.7 seconds with the automatic Tiptronic S transmission, which is more than enough to edge out its current rival from Ferrari, the F430. It has also recorded a 0-60 mph time of 3.2 seconds by U.S. motoring publication Motor Trend eclipsing all of its major competitors and even Porsche's own Carrera GT supercar. The 997 Turbo has a top speed of 311 km/h (193 mph).
The Porsche 997 Turbo Cabriolet is one of the fastest convertiblesports cars in production. It is capable of reaching similar top speeds, and acceleration, of the standard Porsche 997 Turbo Coupe. This is considered an astonishing feat because usually the convertible version of cars are much slower than the hardtop variant, due to its slightly less stable aerodynamics associated with its soft roof, and its extra weight caused by the retracting system for the folding and stowing of the roof.
The 997 GT3 model also debuted in Geneva in 2006 The 997 GT3 is priced at U.S.$106,000 and uses an updated version of the naturally-aspirated 3.6L flat-6 dry-sump engine from the 996 GT3. This engine produces 415hp with a new variable intake system. The GT3 body includes a special front bumper which increases cooling for the front-mounted radiators as well as a split spoiler at the rear. The GT3 also includes a special rear bumper and center tailpipes which draw heat away from the engine.
Porsche 997 GT3 RS
The 997 GT3 is more driver-friendly than its predecessor, with "comfort" seats and the Porsche Communication Management system installed. The special RSwill strip most of these luxuries out to focus more on track-oriented driving (although the car is still road-legal). The package will also include a full roll cage and carbon fiber seats to add to that race-car-for-the-road feel. The RS version was released in Europe in October 2006; the North American release was in March 2007. model
The ratios on the six-speed transmission are more aggressive, allowing the GT3 to hit 60mph (97km/h) in 4.1 seconds, while the RS accomplishes the same in 4 flat. It will continue to 100mph (161km/h) in 9.2 seconds and has an ungoverned 193mph (311km/h) top speed.
The Targa 4 and Targa 4S versions, like the Porsche 911 Targa of the 993 and 996 generations, are equipped with a glass roof and hatch. At any speed, the roof can be opened where it drops down an inch and slides a meter back underneath the hatch. As the roof weighs an additional 60kg (132lb) the suspension has been modified from Carerra models. When the glass roof is retracted, a small glass deflector above the windshield is raised to aid in aerodynamic stability.
Unlike previous versions of the Porsche 911 Targa, the Porsche 997 Targa 4 and Targa 4S have an all-wheel-drive drive train, hence the "4" in the name. The naming is to fit in with the naming trend of other Porsche models, namely the Carrera 4 and Carrera 4S, whose "4" in the names are also due to their all-wheel drive systems.
The Porsche 996911 GT2 was superseded by the 997-generation GT2 in 2007.On Friday July 13, 2007 an official brochure of the 997 GT2 was leaked on the internet. According to this brochure, the 997 GT2 has a twin turbocharged 3.6 litre 6-cylinder engine, which generates 530 hp; the engine is the same as it is in 997. The GT2 accelerates in 3.6 seconds to 60mph (97km/h) and in 7.4 seconds to 100mph and has a maximum top speed of 204 mph. This makes it the first Porsche 911 to exceed the 200mph top speed, with the exception of the 1998 Porsche 911 GT1 Race Version (which is not considered an actual Porsche 911 due to its mid-mounted engine and it only saw roads for homologation purposes). The Porsche 997 GT2 also has a 6-speed manual gearbox.
