This generation marked a departure from the previous 993, introducing a new, water-cooled engine and a revised design. The 996 was the first 911 to feature a water-cooled flat-six engine, a move that improved engine efficiency and reliability. While some purists lamented the loss of the air-cooled engine, the 996 offered a smoother and more refined driving experience. Notable features included the new headlight design, inspired by the 993's rounded shape, and a more aerodynamically efficient body. The interior was updated with a cleaner, more modern layout, incorporating a new instrument cluster and center console.

Beyond its visual and mechanical changes, the 996 Carrera also saw the introduction of several technological advancements. Key among these was the Tiptronic S transmission, an automatic transmission offering a more engaging driving experience. The 996 saw improvements in handling and performance, thanks to the new engine and suspension upgrades. While the 996 was initially subject to criticism due to its departure from the traditional 911 formula, it eventually gained recognition for its reliability, performance, and comfortable ride. The 996 remains a popular choice among enthusiasts, offering a blend of Porsche's legendary heritage with modern engineering and technology.
