The Type 996 introduced in 1998 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 ‘true’ 911.
The 996 styling shared its front end with Porsche’s mid engine entry-level Boxster. Pinky Lai’s work on the exterior won international design awards between 1997 and 2003. Porsche 911 wallpapers#BmwM8 #LamborghiniVeneno #PorscheCayenne #BmwM8 #AudiRS3
