The first truly new Porsche 911 since the model’s inception in 1963, the 996-series upset quite a few marque traditionalists when it was launched thirty-four years later. Although, lighter, faster, more aerodynamic and better handling than the outgoing 993-series, the newcomer was pilloried for its ‘fried egg’ headlights (shared with the entry level Boxster), re-designed interior and water-cooled 3.4 litre engine. A response to ever-tightening emissions regulations, the latter developed 300bhp and 258lbft of torque (making it considerably more potent than its air-cooled 3.6 litre predecessor) and was allied to manual or automatic transmission. Introduced for the 2002 model year, the second generation 996 (a.k.a the 996.2) sported 911-specific headlights which were only shared with the Turbo model together with re-profiled front and rear bumpers. Inside, it gained such niceties as fold out cupholders and a glovebox. The engine grew to 3.6 litres with its increased 320bhp / 273lbft outputs prompting the Tiptronic variants to be fitted with a stronger Mercedes-Benz 722.6 automatic transmission (utilised by several AMG models). The 996.2 was able to boast a stiffer bodyshell too, to the benefit of handling / roadholding. Available in Coupe, Targa and Convertible guises, all were capable of daily use but boasted near 180mph top speeds.
