The Porsche 996, introduced in 1997, marked a new era for the iconic 911, being the first to feature a water-cooled engine. The 3.4-liter flat-six offered strong performance while improving efficiency and refinement. Its design, influenced by the Boxster, gave the 996 a more modern look, while inside it provided a more comfortable and practical cabin compared to earlier 911s. Despite initial controversy among purists, the 996 has gained recognition for its balance of performance, usability, and affordability within the 911 lineage. Today, it is increasingly sought after as an entry point into classic 911 ownership, offering the thrill of a true Porsche driving experience with everyday practicality.
