The Porsche 996 is the internal designation for the Porsche 911
manufactured and sold between 1998 and 2005 and was subsequently
replaced by the Type 997. At its debut, the 996 featured the most
significant changes to the Carrera model since its 1963
introduction; the most significant being the water-cooled engine
replacing the previously air-cooled unit. The 996 Carrera engine
(non GT and Turbo models) is designed with what Porsche calls the
'integrated dry sump oiling'. Other changes include a sleeker body
with a more steeply raked windshield and a re-designed interior.
The first 996's were available as a coupé or cabriolet, initially
with rear wheel drive, and a 3.4 litre, flat-6 normally aspirated
engine producing 296bhp.
Originally registered on 1st September 1999, this most
