The first impact bumper Porsche is almost always overlooked by air cooled 911 enthusiasts drawn to later, more powerful models or the ‘long bonnet’ cars of the 1960s and early 70s. Consequently, the underrated mid-decade 2.7 can be something of a bargain.
The Carrera 996 has long been the entry-level 911, but perhaps the real bargain is the range-topping and exceptionally handsome Carrera C4S.
The 991.1 range (2012-2016) had the most powerful naturally-aspirated series production engines ever built by Porsche. Producing an exceptional 110bhp/litre, the 991.1 Carrera GTS was the top of the range. Subsequently environmental legislation would oblige Porsche to build smaller engines and extract more power by turbocharging.
In 1999, the 996 GT3 launched what would become the most successful purpose built race car in the history of motorsport.
