Porsche 911 (997): Alle Modelle von 2004-2012

Die zweite Generation des wassergeku¨hlten Porsche 911 wurde im Sommer 2004 der Öffentlichkeit präsentiert. Und keine 911-Generation zuvor war jemals auf so ungeteilte Begeisterung gestossen: Den Designern war es gelungen, den 997 der Urform des 911 extrem anzunähern, wobei der Betrachter ihn aber gleichzeitig in seiner Gesamtwirkung als hochmodernen Sportwagen wahrnahm. Mit der Baureihe 997 hatte Porsche endgültig wieder zurück zu der klassischen 911-Linie gefunden - und das wirkte sich auch auf die Verkaufszahlen aus.

Im Laufe seines Lebenszyklus stellte der bis Ende 2012 gebaute 997 aber nicht nur Verkaufsrekorde auf: Zeitweise wurden parallel nicht weniger als 24 verschiedene Modelle angeboten - von 325 bis zu 620 PS.
