About the Book

This book on the 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 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.

Review :
worthy of a place on your (suitably reinforced) bookshelf. GT Porsche this is the book any Porsche 997 owner should own. Liebe zu Ihm (love for Porsche) it's impossible to ignore the usefulness of this to anybody wanting to look after their car without paying dealer prices. Auto Express Definitive. tkc (Totalkitcar) it exudes practical advice ... whilst remaining thoroughly readable. Above it responds brilliantly to the natural curiosity of the Porsche owner and no one who has invested say GBP30 or GBP40,000 in a 997 should blanch at the cover price. Kieron Fennelly
