996.1’s Specialty: Still largely analog; front and rear exterior lighting assemblies that were first previewed on the multi-million dollar 911 GT1 Evolution; the manual Carrera 4 coupe is very lightweight in contrast to its AWD 911 successors, featuring a similar setup; It boasts minimal driving aids and the pure emotion that is granted as its naturally-aspirated boxer engine roars to its redline, with your hand firmly gripping the shift knob, awaiting to shift into the next gear, while your foot lovingly depresses the clutch pedal, as you sit in its ergonomic cabin that is as direct, unfussy, and very driver-oriented just as is its driving experience, is total automotive euphoria.
