The 996 is just as popular today as it was then. After all, it made history back in the 1990s and ushered in a new era for Porsche: that of 911 models with water-cooled engines. When the 996 was launched in model year 1998, Porsche finally abandoned the air-cooling design that had previously been used. Instead, the 996 received a more powerful version of the new water-cooled six-cylinder boxer engine. It was a turning point in Porsche's history.
But this wasn’t the only innovation. As well as the new engine concept, its chassis was also further enhanced and its body altered – becoming noticeably and visibly larger. The 996 initiated not only a technical, but also a stylistic change. Changes that paid off. After all, the 996 series was the best-selling 911 series back then.
A truly successful model, with a character that is just as inspiring today as when it was first released. A good reason to keep this special classic in its original condition after all these years. Even if you may want to change some details. That’s no problem with the matching genuine accessories that were developed for your model at that time. After all, you like your 996 exactly as it is: authentic.
