About the 996:
The Porsche 996 is the internal designation for the 911 model
manufactured from 1997 to 2006. It was replaced by the 997 in 2004
but the high performance Turbo S, GT2 and GT3 variants remained in
production until 2006. The 996 had little in common with its
predecessor, with the first all new chassis platform since the
original 911 and a new water-cooled engine. Technically, it was a
major change, a complete breakthrough from the original car other
than the overall layout.
Development was shared with its entry-level sibling, the
roadster-only Boxster which was introduced around the same time,
including the front suspension, various interior components, and
the engine, all of which were enlarged for the 996. However, the
multi-link rear suspension was derived from the preceding 993.
At its debut, the 996 featured the most significant change from the
classic 911 series: a water-cooled engine replacing the previously
air-cooled engine. Progressively stringent emissions and noise
regulations, environmental concerns, a higher expectation for
refinement and the need for a high-performance 4 valve per cylinder
engine made the switch necessary. Other major changes include a
completely new platform having a sleeker body with a more raked
windshield, and a re-designed interior along with new "fried egg"
shaped headlamps (so called due to the amber colored turn signals)
instead of previous "bug eye" headlamps.
The Porsche 996 was a new design developed by Pinky Lai under
Porsche design chief Harm Lagaay from 1992 to 1994 it was the first
911 that was completely redesigned, and carried over little from
its predecessor as Porsche wanted the design team to design a 911
for the next millennium. Featuring an all new body, interior, and
the first water-cooled engine, the 996 replaced the 993 from which
only the front suspension, rear multi-link suspension, and a
6-speed manual transmission were retained in revised form. The 996
had a drag coefficient of Cd=0.30 resulting from hours spent in the
wind tunnel. The 996 is 7" longer and 2" wider than its
predecessor. It is also 45% stiffer courtesy of a chassis formed
from high-strength steel. Additionally, it is 110lbs lighter
despite having additional radiators and coolant.
The 996 Turbo debuted at the Frankfurt Auto show in September 1999
and went on sale in the US in summer of 2000 as a 2001 model. The
Turbo is powered by a water-cooled twin-turbocharged and
intercooled 3.6-litre flat-6 engine derived from the 1998 Le Mans
winning 911 GT1 race car. The engine is rated at 414HP at 6,000 rpm
and 415 lb�ft of torque.
It features an all-wheel drive system and was available with either
a 6-speed manual or a 5-speed Tiptronic transmission. It has
revised styling and a wider stance than the naturally aspirated 996
Carrera models, along with new bi-xenon headlamps and a fixed rear
wing. The Turbo also came with VarioCam Plus and stability
management, and on the US models, an electronically adjustable rear
spoiler was included which would rise at a speed of 76 mph and
lower at 36 mph. The bodywork was also revised to allow airflow to
3 radiators up front and to accommodate 18-inch wheels and
tires.
In 2002, the X50 package was offered as an option on the Turbo that
included larger K24 turbochargers and intercoolers, a revised ECU
and quad-pipe exhaust which raised power output to 444HP. Other
features introduced in 2002 were a glove box, center mounted
cup-holders, an optional Bose stereo and rain-sensing wipers.
In 2005, Porsche introduced the Turbo S model available as either a
coupe or cabriolet. The Turbo S was essentially a 996 Turbo with
the X50 option but also included PCCB, 6-disc CD changer and
aluminum-faced instruments.
