997.2 (2009 to 2012)

The Porsche 911 (997.2), produced from 2009 to 2012 as the facelifted and technically updated version of the 997 generation. The 997.2 introduced direct fuel injection (DFI) across most of the range, improved efficiency and performance, updated interior technology, and the option of Porsche’s PDK dual-clutch transmission, while retaining the compact proportions and hydraulic steering that define the era. In the Australian market, the 997.2 is often viewed as the sweet spot for buyers seeking modern reliability and usability without sacrificing driver engagement, with strong demand for well-optioned right-hand-drive examples. Values in the 997.2 market are driven by variant, transmission choice, mileage, condition, and specification, with manual cars, GTS models, and Mezger-engined GT variants commanding the highest premiums, while sustained local and global interest continues to support long-term demand.
