the 997.1 turbo’s significance: it is the last 911 turbo and the last turbo cabriolet to couple the legendary gt1-derived mezger twin-turbo engine with a manual transmission. the 997.2 introduced a new engine, and from the 991 onward, turbos have been pdk only. while newer models are faster, more advanced, and more refined, these models have also grown in size and lost some of the raw, mechanical feel that defines the 997.1. in many ways, the 997.1 turbo is a modern-day 959, usable, iconic, and the end of an unrepeatable era.
