Time changes everything – but not your 996.

In the storied evolution of the 911, the type 996 is still as popular as ever. After all, it made history back in the 1990s when it heralded a new era: that of water-cooled engines in 911 models. From model year 1998, the 996 finally marked the end of the previous air cooling concept used by Porsche and was fitted with a more powerful version of the new water-cooled six-cylinder horizontally opposed engine. A turning point in Porsche history.

But this wasn’t the only innovation. As well as the new engine concept, its chassis was also further enhanced and its body altered – becoming noticeably and visibly larger. So the 996 initiated not only a technical, but also a stylistic change. Amendments that paid off. After all, back then the 996 model range was the bestselling 911 series of all time. A genuine success model, whose character was as impressive then as it is now.

So there’s every reason to maintain its originality after all these years. And it’s not a problem if you’d like to change the odd detail – using the matching genuine accessories that were developed for your model at that time. After all, you appreciate the 996 exactly as it is: authentic.

Roadholding isn’t a matter of age.

Wheels make a crucial contribution to the sportiness of a Porsche, and that hasn’t changed since 1948. Little has also changed with the appearance to the appearance of your Classic vehicle’s wheels. In short: their look and feel are as original as they were in the 1990s. But they have the added benefit of modern roadholding. There’s no need to compromise on either the look or performance of the wheels for your 996. Because even if you want to change something on your Porsche, it should still be contemporary. Just like back then.

The Porsche feeling of the 1990s extends to the footwell.

A step back in time. Yet always in trend. This applies to every journey in your classic car. And also to its specification. So there are matching floor mat sets for your 996, whose quality and colour are perfectly suited to the interior of your Porsche.

Note: Not suitable for 911 Carrera Cabriolet and 911 Targa models from 08/2001 with BOSE® Surround Sound System.

The original exhaust sounds good – and looks even better.

The Porsche sound can still be refined. Even after two decades. And although your Porsche has operated at the highest levels of design and performance since day one – there was always room for improvement. And still is. Genuine sports tailpipes from back in the day stylishly enhance the dynamics of your classic car. At first and last glance.

The world moves on. But character stays the same.

Historic enthusiasm can still be improved. Just like performance. Because the Carrera rear spoiler will enhance your 996, not only visually but also aerodynamically. This rigid rear spoiler replaces the standard electric spoiler, emphasising the sporty appearance of your Classic vehicle – and also ensures improved road handling. Today as well as the 1990s.

You now hold the key to the past. With this designer key, this is quite literally true.
