The 996 is just as popular today as it was then. And no wonder. It made history 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 moved away from 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 history.
Alongside the new engine concept, the chassis was optimized and the bodyshell became larger – which drivers could both see and feel. So, the 996 initiated a change not only from a technical perspective, but also from a stylistic one. And these changes paid off: The 996 series was the best-selling 911 series ever made.
A truly successful model then, 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. And that's no problem with the right original accessories, which were developed for your model at the time. After all, you like your 996 just as it is: authentic.
Traction has no age.
Wheels have a significant influence on the sportiness of a Porsche. No change there. Just like the look of the wheels for your classic car. In short: A driving experience and appearance that are as original as in the 90s but with modern traction. With these wheels for your 996, you don't have to compromise on looks or performance. Because even if you want to change something on your Porsche, it should still be contemporary. Just as it was then.
The 90s Porsche feeling extends into the footwell.
A small step back in time. And yet always with a modern feel. This applies to every journey in your classic car. And the same goes for the equipment. In this vein, custom-fit floor mat sets for your 996 are optimally matched to the interior of your Porsche when it comes to quality and color.
Note: Cannot be used for the models 911 Carrera Cabriolet and 911 Targa from 08/2001 with BOSE® Surround Sound System.
Great original sound. Even better looks.
The sound of your Porsche can still be refined – even after two decades. And although your Porsche has been at its best in terms of design and performance since day one, there was always room for improvement. And still is. The original sport tailpipes from back in the day stylishly enhance the dynamics of your classic car. At first and last glance.
The world keeps turning. Character remains.
The enthusiasm of the past can be even greater today, just like the performance. The Carrera rear spoiler enhances not only the appearance of your 996, but also its aerodynamics. The rigid rear spoiler replaces the standard electric spoiler and highlights the sporty design of your classic car – while also optimizing handling. This was the case in the 90s. And it remains true today.
The key to the past is now also in your hands. And the Design key lets you even take that literally.
