The Porsche 911 Carrera (996) is a sports car produced by Porsche between 1998 and 2005, serving as the fifth generation of the iconic 911 model. A significant departure from its predecessor, the 993, the 996 marked a stylistic shift with its rounded headlights and more streamlined design. However, beneath the skin, the 996 maintained the core elements that defined the 911 lineage: a rear-mounted engine, a lightweight chassis, and a focus on performance. The 996 offered several variants, including the base Carrera with a 3.4-liter flat-six engine producing 296 hp, the Carrera S with a 3.6-liter engine generating 320 hp, and the highly sought-after GT3, featuring a 3.6-liter engine tuned for track use and producing 360 hp.

The 996, despite initially facing criticism for its stylistic divergences from the classic 911 design, ultimately cemented its place as a significant milestone in Porsche history. It introduced several innovations, such as a water-cooled engine for improved efficiency, a more sophisticated suspension system for enhanced handling, and a more refined interior with improved comfort and ergonomics. The 996 also marked a departure from the traditional air-cooled engine that had defined the 911 since its inception, a change that initially proved controversial, but ultimately contributed to the car's performance, efficiency, and reliability. The 996's legacy is one of innovation, performance, and refinement, solidifying its position as a cornerstone in the evolution of the legendary Porsche 911.
