996 Carrera

The Porsche 996 Carerra marked the switch from the air-cooled era to the water-cooled era. Built from 1997-2004, the 996 is a controversial generation of 911 due to its styling. With that being said, it signaled a major leap forward for Porsche and the 911 model as a whole. Other than the front suspension, rear multi-link suspension, and a 6-speed manual transmission, the 996 was completely new compared to the preceding 993.
