The Porsche 996, a defining model in the marque's history, marked the transition from the air-cooled 911 to a water-cooled era. Produced between 1998 and 2005, the 996 featured a distinctive design with round headlamps, a departure from the traditional 911's rectangular lights. This change, while initially met with controversy, brought about a significant improvement in aerodynamics and safety. Under the hood, the 996 housed a range of six-cylinder engines, including the iconic 3.4-liter and 3.6-liter units, offering impressive power and performance. The chassis benefited from advancements in suspension technology, providing a refined ride with exceptional handling capabilities. The 996 was available in a diverse range of variants, including the base Carrera, the more powerful Carrera S, and the top-of-the-line Turbo. The Turbo, boasting a twin-turbocharged engine, delivered blistering acceleration and a top speed surpassing 190 mph. Other notable variants included the Targa, offering a retractable roof, and the GT3, designed for track performance. The 996 also saw the introduction of the first-generation Boxster, a mid-engined roadster that shared its platform and some of its drivetrain components with the 911. With its innovative design, advanced technology, and impressive performance, the 996 cemented Porsche's reputation for engineering excellence and continues to be a sought-after classic today.
