Porsche 911 Carrera (type 996)

Porsche 911 Carrera (type 996)

With the new 911 Carrera, known internally as Generation 996, Porsche presented the successor to the classic. Apart from the name 911 Carrera and a six-cylinder flat engine at the rear, the newly developed model series had nothing in common with the previous 911.

The body of the 996 had grown significantly in size. Galvanised sheet steel and higher-strength steels were used to reinforce the body shell on both sides. The side mirrors of the series were now fixed in front of the side windows and no longer on the doors.

The bonnet, front headlight units with low beam and high beam, indicators and fog lights, front wings and doors were identical on the 911 Carrera and Boxster as a result of the shared parts concept.

The series featured water-cooled engines.
