THE PORSCHE TYPE 996 911 CARRERA
Produced between 1996 and 2004, the Porsche 996 debuted the first all-new platform for a 911 in 34 years – and much to the cries of Porschephiles – it was the first water-cooled 911 ever. At the time of its development, Porsche was facing financial difficulty and significant pressure for the 996 to be a success, and the myriad mechanical changes were necessary for the car to meet safety and emissions standards into the future. Thanks in large part to a 45% stiffer chassis and a 50kg weight saving over the 993, the 996 was indeed a success, and has become known for being one of the best balanced 911s of the modern era.
THE CAR OFFERED
Collectors have begun to take note of the 996's abilities, and prime examples are increasingly in demand. Few come more impressive than the car offered, a 1999 Carrera Coupe that features no fewer than thirty individual options. Finished beautifully in Ocean Blue Metallic, this gorgeous 996 has clearly been cherished since day-one, while also being driven, enjoyed, and serviced accordingly. Highlights of the lengthy spec sheet (a full list is available) include the factory aero kit, 18" Sport Classic wheels, Soft-Look leather seats, embossed headrests, Carbon Décor Package, Aluminum/Chrome Package, leather dash, power front seats, and much more.
The accompanying clean Carfax documents the mileage (64,383mi at the time of cataloguing) and ownership history, and additional items include original books, VIN-matched code cards, period dealer brochures, window-sticker copy, and recent service records. Also included are the factory space-saver spare and tool pouch. Beautifully presented and in fabulous, unique specification, this is a collector-grade example of the versatile and capable 996.
