This book on the first generation Porsche 911 (997) is the fifth of six
planned in The Essential Companion series, and the fourth with Veloce
Publishing. 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
model and 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.
