Discover the full story of the Porsche 911 type 996, in a format identical to Porsche service booklets, the first water-cooled 911 — and arguably the most debated in the model’s long and legendary history. From 1998 to 2004, this generation marked a radical shift in Porsche’s engineering, design language, and brand direction.
This detailed and well-researched book offers a year-by-year analysis, broken down into six key categories for every model year:
• Engine & Performance
• Transmission
• Chassis
• Exterior Details
• Interior & Equipment
• Exterior and Interior Colors
From the early Carrera models to the wide-body Carrera 4S, elegant Targa, raw GT3 and GT3 RS, fierce GT2, and the mighty Turbo and Turbo S, each variant is covered with technical depth and historical context. Special editions like the Millennium Edition and the rare 996 Special Edition also receive the attention they deserve.
Written for enthusiasts, collectors, restorers, and anyone passionate about Porsche, this book offers valuable insights into a pivotal era for the brand — one that combined innovation, controversy, and enduring performance.
Whether you’re looking to understand the nuances of each model year or simply appreciate the evolution of the 996, this guide is your ultimate reference.
