the 997.1 turbo’s significance: the 997.1 turbo and its turbo convertible counterpart mark the end of an era as the last 911 to pair the legendary 911 gt1-derived mezger twin-turbo engine with a manual transmission. with the 997.2, porsche introduced an all-new powerplant, and the 991 and 992 turbos are now exclusively available with pdk. while these succeeding models surpass the 997.1 in raw power, dynamic performance, and technological sophistication, they are larger and lack the compact, mechanically engaging proportions that make the 997.1 so special. the 997.1 turbo is very much a modern reinterpretation of the porsche 959, offering heightened usability for everyday driving and a combination of character and performance that is unlikely ever to be repeated.
