Background

The 996 replaced air cooling with water cooling, a change driven by emissions and noise regulation and by the cooling demands of four-valve cylinder heads. It was also the first 911 developed alongside another car: the front bodywork, the interior and much of the structure were shared with the Boxster. The headlamp unit that resulted combined the main beam and the indicator in a single housing, a departure from the separate round lamps used before and after.

The engine displaced 3.4 litres at launch and 3.6 from 2002, when a facelift also revised the headlamps. The Turbo arrived for 2001 with a twin-turbocharged 3.6 derived from the GT1 racing engine, and the GT3 and GT2 established the naturally aspirated and turbocharged track-focused lines that every later generation has continued.

A Targa returned for 2002 using the sliding glass roof introduced on the 993, and a 40th Anniversary model marked the 911's fortieth year in 2004.
