Questions and Comments
Technik: Mit dem neuen Design des 996 entfernte sich Porsche von der klassischen 911-Form. Zum einen wurde der Wagen länger und breiter als sein Vorgänger, so dass er mehr an einen komfortablen Gran Turismo erinnert, als an einen spartanischen Sportwagen. Augenfällig sind die flach in den Kotflügeln integrierten Scheinwerfer bei diesem Modell, die wegen ihres Aussehens oft auch als Spiegeleier-Leuchten bezeichnet werden. Der Scheinwerfer wurde aus Kostengründen als ein Bauteil mit fünf Funktionen (Abblendlicht, Fernlicht, Blinker, Standlicht und Nebelscheinwerfer) für den 996 entwickelt. Viele Bauteile des Porsche 996 (Scheinwerfer, Kotflügel etc.) wurden auch im Porsche Boxster verwendet. Dies und vor allem die „Verwechslungsgefahr“ mit dem Boxster brachten dem neuen 996 viel Kritik ein. Ab 2002 wurden die Scheinwerfer durch anders gestaltete Klarglasscheinwerfer ersetzt und ließen den 996 gegenüber dem Boxster eigenständiger erscheinen. LG Tom
