The 2009 model year marked the end to a wildly important era for the 911 turbo as the 997.1 Turbo is the last 911 Turbo to house the iconic 911 GT1-derived Mezger twin-turbocharged engine in conjunction with a manual transmission. The 997.2 Turbo features an all-new engine, while the 991 and now 992 Turbos are only seen in PDK. Though the latter cars are more dynamic, powerful and an even more technological tour de force than the 997.1 Turbo, the former are larger in size and don’t feature the sought-after favorable sizing and mechanicalness as offered by the 997.1 Turbo. The 997.1 Turbo is very much a new-age Porsche 959 with heighten usability for everyday use and is a car that will not be replicated again.
