History
The Type 996 introduced in 1999 represented two major changes for
the venerable 911 lineage: a water-cooled flat-6 engine replaced
the popular air-cooled engine used in the 911 for 34 years, and the
body shell received its first major re-design. The 996 styling
shared its front end with Porsche's mid-engine Boxster. Pinky Lai's
work on the exterior won international design awards between 1997
and 2003.
In 2000, Porsche launched the Turbocharged version of the Type 996
for MY 2001. Like the GT3, the new Turbo engine was derived from
the engine used in the 911 GT1 and, like its predecessor, featured
twin-turbos and now developed 420 PS (309 kW; 414 hp). Also, like
its predecessor, the new Turbo was only available with all-wheel
drive. The styling was more individual than the previous
generations of the Turbo. Along with the traditional wider rear
wing, the 996 Turbo had different front lights and bumpers when
compared to the Carrera and Carrera 4. The rear bumper had air
vents reminiscent of those on the Porsche 959 and there were large
vents on the front bumper.
