Overview & Reviews
A pair of familiar powerhouses rejoins the Porsche 911 family for 2007. The mighty 911 Turbo returns with a blistering 480 horsepower and a 3.4-second 0-60-mph time, while the track-ready GT3 sports 415 hp -- by far the most of any non-turbo Porsche ever made. The 911 Targa joins the current-generation family this year, too, sporting its now trademark sliding glass roof.
- Pinpoint steering, effortless acceleration, awe-inspiring brakes, refined all-wheel-drive option, the rhythmic sound of a powerful flat-6, comfortable cockpit.
- Relatively small fuel tank, useless rear seats, outlandish option prices.

C4S over Turbo - 2007 Porsche 911
By C4S is best - May 12 - 11:23 pmThe balance of this car is marvelous. This is my 3rd Porsche and is the best. I had a 996 Turbo, but you couldnt drive it slow, as you were always in the turbo. Ive never felt so connected with a car and in complete control. The build quality is unequaled. Fit and finish are typical German quality.

A Car to Drive to the Track - 2007 Porsche 911
By Travis - March 7 - 2:03 pmThough the design is merely an aerodynamically improved version of the standard 911 with a "flying taco" rear wing and a chin spoiler that is difficult to navigate over many dips, the 997 GT3 is the most fun car I have ever had the pleasure of driving. The car handles as if it were an rails with a ride to match. The suspension is stiff and communicative while the shifter is exact and positive. The straight line performance is on par with the likes of the 1999-2004 Ferrari 360 Modena, while its handling is that of a well tested and balanced race car. One warning: the car is low and and many find it too rough a ride to drive daily.

Should have got the Turbo first! - 2007 Porsche 911
By Woods - January 21 - 3:23 pmBought a nice 07 C2S and only had it for a couple months before getting the Turbo. Night and day! This car has it all...comfort, tons of power and the looks to go with. Mine has the tiptronic transmission and you can find a lot of good and bad reviews about it. For me since I dont track the car I am ok with it. Put it in sport mode and let the fun begin!

Not a city car - 2007 Porsche 911
By twocoasts - November 14 - 12:43 amI am a BMW driver - this is not a city car. You need open road to run it for an hour over a hundred mph while your eyes are peeled looking for the law. I cannot understand how any one can use this car running from 30 - 70 mph. I am coming up the Florida Turnpike walking past everything that moves - my passenger asks me how fast I am going - I am doing 75 mph and it feels like 45. This is my dream car, I need no more power, but hitting 50 years old, I am looking at Jaguar XJR so I can cruise and not destroy myself or lose my license.

Greatest Car Ever ? - 2007 Porsche 911
By ALAN.AYLING - September 23 - 9:53 amThe Car is simply exhilarating but extraordinarily straightforward to drive. However it is not for the faint hearted or uncommitted driver. It demands concentration every moment at the wheel. It is the first car that I have driven that ensures that I am not interested in a radio, the CD player or the scenery beyond the road ahead. The car obeys every input, is totally surefooted and yet blows your mind every time you hit the accelerator. On top of this the car is a great investment and has a fantastic build quality. I hate cars that shake or squeak at every twist, turn or bump in the road. This my second porsche and I doubt that I will ever be happy with any other alternative in the future.

By Alan Eland - July 9 - 1:53 amMy fourth porsche and its my most enjoyable car, I had the dealership add sport exhaust and the sound is outstanding in the open mode, it handles great and rides a bit rough in sport mode but I love it.

bye bye BMW - 2007 Porsche 911
By X51C2S - May 21 - 7:50 pmAfter 35 years of uninterrupted BMW ownership I purchased my first Porsche last August. The car is superb in every way. The X51 kit and PCCBs are just icing on the cake. After 10,500 miles I have yet to have a single fault or problem. I couldnÂ’t be happier.

Still a piece of Fine Art - 2007 Porsche 911
By Bob - March 29 - 12:53 pmSold an Audi RS4 to get back to a 911. Still the most fun there is for driving. May not be the fastest but by far the most fun. I hope it is my final buy b4 retirement.

2007 911 Turbo (The Best Yet!!) - 2007 Porsche 911
By mykelsang4lyf - March 14 - 11:06 pmI just purchased the GT Silver 911 last month for my birthday. I got just about all the options including the carbon ceramic brake package. I chose to get the aluminum trim package as well as the fully adaptive leather seats. A lot of people think the tiptronic is better, but having the 6-speed manual is far more responsive. What I do in this car I know I did. Its beyond amazing. Fuel economy is also amazing for a car with this much power and speed. The best of 2007... the Porsche 911 Turbo gets my vote!

New to the Porsche Family - 2007 Porsche 911
By WG - January 28 - 10:10 pmMy new 911 C4S has been beyond fun to drive. I cut through traffic like a hot knife through butter. I take corners as if I am on a rail! The cars fit and finish is great. It feels like it will hold up for over 100,000 miles. I am a former BMW 7-Series owner (4 over 10 years), so I am getting use to the lack of space compared to my old cars. That being said every time I get in the car and take off, I get a rush and I forget that I cant place my clubs in the trunk. Having a stick again has been great. Every sports car or performance sedan should have one (Hint BMW and MB folks). Is it worth $100,000? Time will tell. I hope so. If not maybe Ill get an S8 next.
