Porsche 997 (2004-2012) The Essential Companion

This book on the Porsche 911 (997) is a combination of workshop manual, complete history of the Porsche 997, and trainspotters guide. Every possible bit of information available about the 997 is condensed into this weighty 704(!!) page tome.

It carries on the tradition established with Adrian Streather's first Porsche 911 book on the 964 series, and contains everything a 997 owner needs to know, plus a lot more.

The 997 series was the first to be fitted with Japanese-manufactured transmissions; this then-new technology, and the transmission details, is explained in depth. All other new technology advancements installed into the first generation 997 are also described, along with details of all the advantages and improvements the 997 has over previous 911 series.

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. In other words, no matter where on the planet a 997 owner resides, their version of the car is covered in this book.
