Designed by Grant Lawson from 2001 the Porsche 997 version of the 911 was introduced in 2004 as a 2005 model year car. The 997 was an evolution of the preceding 996, with the most significant changes being interior and exterior styling, the most notable being the replacement of the fried egg headlamps used on the 996 with the classic bug eye units. Larger 18-inch wheels were fitted as standard, and other engineering changes include slightly increased power; however, the car is technically very similar to its predecessor. A new S version was offered, with additional power from a slightly larger engine, sports suspension, and sports exhaust.

For the first time, development of the cabriolet version of the 997 led the design and engineering effort at Porsche with the coupé following. Porsche applied the logic that if you started with the more difficult cabriolet challenges (for chassis stiffness) the coupé version would simply be more rigid. The base Carrera has essentially the same 3,596 cc (3.596 L; 219.4 cu in) flat-6 (Boxer) engine from 996 Carrera. The Carrera S however uses a new 3,824 cc (3.824 L; 233.4 cu in) flat-6 engine.

The 997 was subject to a mid-cycle refresh in 2008 for the 2009 model year with cars now referred to as Phase II and the older 997 referred to in retro as the Phase 1. The updated model range was unveiled at the Paris Auto Show in September 2008. Changes included a redesigned engine with direct fuel injection, mounted a little lower, revised suspension, revised front bumper and air intakes, headlamps with LED daytime running lights and optional dual HID projectors, revised rear bumper, tail lights while AWD models include a reflective stripe between the tail lights, new mirrors, redesigned Sports Exhaust Production of the refreshed model began in late 2008. Initially available models included coupé and cabriolet versions of the Carrera, Carrera 4, Carrera S and Carrera 4S
