Porsche 996 Carrera

The vehicle in detail

The Early 996.1’s Specialty: It’s no secret that the 911, regardless of trim, is committed to unwavering motoring excellence and is truly in a realm of its own; however, with the 996.1 911 (the 911 that ushered in the modern-era 911) and in comparison to the even more contemporary 911, this experience is heightened! For 1999 models, PSM couldn’t be ordered as it wasn’t an available option and 1999 signified the last year of the utilization of a mechanical throttle as opposed to an electric one that’s found in later model years, which elevates the analog experience that’s now so widely sought-after! It’s the 911 whose exterior design aesthetic was first previewed on the multi-million dollar 911 GT1 Evolution and the manual operated 996.1 Carrera Cabriolet is the lightest modern-era, rear-wheel-drive 911 Carrera convertible, weighing in at approximately 3,075 lbs.! With the 996, you are reverted back to a time of pure driving simplicity, where electronic driving aids are at a minimum, the connection to the road is genuinely felt, and the car’s soul is alive and well even when not being driven!
