WHAT WE THINK
- 997s really are a bit of a sweetspot in the 911 line up. Still a wonderfully analogue driving experience, but modern enough to seamlessly integrate into day-to-day life – especially when upgraded with a CarPlay/ Android Auto head unit!
- And among the 997 range, a second generation Carrera S Coupe with a factory short shift manual gearbox is pretty much as good as it gets.
- This is, quite simply, the best 997 we have sold to to date. Just epic.
