A major step forward, the Type 996 version of the Porsche 911, introduced in 1997, really did justify its maker's claims to be 'all new'. With the 996's introduction, Porsche finally adopted water cooling for the flat-six engine, which remained behind the rear wheels of a car that shared no panels with its immediate predecessor and was longer, wider and higher than before. Despite the overall increase in size, Porsche's engineers managed to lower the 996's drag co-efficient by raking back the windscreen, with a beneficial reduction in fuel consumption at high speeds. Bonded-in front and rear screens contributed to a significant increase in the stiffness of the aluminium chassis, which was clad in galvanised steel body panels. Water radiators were mounted at the front: two for manual transmission cars, three for those with the Tiptronic semi-automatic 'box. The new, more compact, 24-valve engine displaced 3.4 litres compared with the 993's 3.6 yet was more powerful, producing 300bhp (up from 285), which was good enough for a top speed of 174mph.
Finished in silver with black leather interior, and equipped with the desirable sunroof, this presentable example of the four-wheel drive Carrera 4 has covered some 109,000 miles from new and is described by the vendor as in superb condition, driving as it should and with everything working. A classic Porsche 911 at a bargain price, the car is offered with MoT to August 2022.
