Description
Classic Car Design presents this Porsche 996 Carrera 2 from late 2001. It is therefore a Phase 2 with the 3. 6L engine. The 996 marks a break in the history of the 911: new exterior and interior styling and a move to water cooling... Long shunned, it has gradually carved out its place among Porsche enthusiasts and today offers an unbeatable price-performance ratio. It is the most accessible of the 911s…
On the outside, this example is in good overall condition. It offers the classic colour combo: "full black". It is fitted with 18-inch 5‑spoke wheels, 2002 model. The sunroof is functional and watertight. Also noted are bi‑xenon headlights with headlight washers.
Inside, black is de rigueur and the upholstery benefits from the extended leather option. The whole package is in very good condition, including the dashboard or the seats which show little wear. The air conditioning is part of the original equipment, the seats are semi‑electric and heated, and PCM 1 is also fitted. The three‑spoke sport steering wheel has the gearshift controls.
Mechanically, the service book records very regular maintenance, including a bottom-end rebuild at 140, 000km, so despite its mileage, the car runs perfectly. It’s a true GT combining both comfort and performance. The 320 hp are indeed present, nicely supported by the pleasant five‑speed Tiptronic gearbox completed by the cruise control. The flat‑six provides a vocal note without being intrusive thanks to its mildly freer exhaust. PSM is among the options and ensures faultless handling.
So here is a fine example of the 996 Phase 2. Well equipped, it’s the entry door into the world of the 911…
