Description
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, featuring the first all-new chassis platform since the original 911 and a new water-cooled engine.

Development was shared with its entry-level sibling, the roadster-only Boxster, including the front suspension, various interior components, and the engine. The multi-link rear suspension was derived from the preceding 993.

The 996 featured a water-cooled engine replacing the previously air-cooled engine to meet emissions and noise regulations. Other major changes include a completely new platform with a sleeker body, a more raked windshield, a re-designed interior, and new "fried egg" shaped headlamps.
