Porsche 911 - 996

The Type 996 introduced in 1998 to replace the <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/porsche/911/993/">993 series</a>,&nbsp;represented two major changes for the venerable 911 lineage: a water-cooled flat-6 engine replaced the popular air-cooled engine used in the 911 for 34 years, and the body shell received its first major re-design. Changing to a water-cooled engine was controversial with Porsche traditionalists, who noted this as the end of the &#39;true&#39; 911.The 996 styling shared its front end with Porsche&#39;s mid engine entry-level <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/porsche/boxster/">Boxster</a>. The Type 996 spawned over a dozen variations, including the <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/porsche/911/996/carrera/">996 Carrera</a>, the&nbsp;all-wheel-drive <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/porsche/911/996/carrera-4/">Carrera 4</a> and <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/porsche/911/996/carrera-4s/">Carrera 4S</a> (the latter which had a &#39;Turbo look&#39; in facelift form) models, the club racing-oriented <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/porsche/911/996/gt3/">996 GT3</a> and <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/porsche/911/996/gt3-rs/">GT3 RS</a>, and&nbsp;the forced-induction <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/porsche/911/996/turbo/">996 Turbo</a> and <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/porsche/911/996/gt2/">GT2</a>, among others. Overlapping with its last variants, the 996 generation was replaced by the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.classic.com/m/porsche/911/997/">997 generation</a>&nbsp;in model year 2005.
