Model history:

With the new Porsche 911 of the 996 model series, four-valve technology with two overhead camshafts was used for the first time. And the water cooling was comprehensible from a technical point of view, as this technology could be used to further expand the range of services. In addition, without the new water cooling and the four-valve technology, the exhaust gas and noise regulations of the time would not have been complied with. As a drive type, you could choose between rear-wheel or all-wheel drive, between coupé, Targa or convertible. More than 175,000 units of the 996 rolled off the production line between 1997 and 2006 – making the 996 series the most-built 911 series to date.
