Staggering all-weather performance, practicality.
Fussy styling, more common than the equivalent Ferrari.
The best supercar on sale, but not the most exciting.
If accident avoidance is the greatest asset in the safety war, then the 997 Turbo is surely one of the safest cars ever sold. It has such high levels of grip, traction, acceleration and braking that drivers stand the best possible chance of not being in the wrong place at an inopportune time.
The full complement of air-bags and pre-tensioners work in the cabin and the 997's immensely rigid structure provides all the crash safety you'd expect.
