DESCRIPTION
The Porsche 996 was first introduced in 1997 and was the first water-cooled 911. This pre-facelift 996 is the lightest of all water-cooled 911 variants including the 996 GT3 which weighs 35kg. more. Its 3.4 litre, 300 bhp engine is mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox and this is a two-wheel drive version, widely considered to be the purest 996.In 1998, Car and Driver put the Carrera 2 up against the Ferrari 355 and the Porsche came out on top. Furthermore, it was prized as the EVO Magazine car of the year with "its ability to be approachable and accessible like a sports car, but still with the ability to inspire awe like a supercar... on the road its purity of purpose, poise, finesse and honed athleticism allowed it to dominate a test that included the Ferrari F355 and Elise 135".
D12 AGM was supplied new on the 27th. of January 1998 to Glen Glasgow, main Porsche dealer in this area, and is finished in Arctic Silver ( X1X1 ). The seating and matching door cards are finished in Boxter Red and are described as " Full Special Leather" . From new, the car was specified with;, Sports Package, Headlight Cleaning Unit, Cassette Storage, Sound System, and an On-Board Computer.
