In 2004, Porsche launched the 997 generation of the 911 as a 2005 model. The 997 was the second generation of watercooled Porsches, following the 996. Variants included the C2 (2-wheel drive Carrera) and C2S as well as the Carrera 4 and 4S with all-wheel drive. The Turbo and GT3 followed a few years later. As is the Porsche way, this generation of 911 wasnt so much a new car as an evolution on previous designs. It maintains a similar silhouette to the original 911 and retains the rear-engine layout. Perhaps the most apparent visual difference between the outgoing 996 and the 997 are the headlights- for the 997, Porsche returned to the teardrop design featured on the air-cooled 911s that preceded the 996. The 997 was available with a dual-clutch paddle shifting transmission (PDK) or a 6-speed manual. Reviewers almost universally say  it all starts under the hood in the FR-S. The FR-S engine is mounted low and as far back in the engine bay as possible. Combined with its low center of gravity and a performance-tuned suspension, critics say these attributes make the FR-S one of the best-handling sports cars on the market. What do you get?
