Porsche 996 Carrera 4S

A model in which many goodbyes were said and many more doors were just opened. Welcome water cooling, aerodynamics and a completely new drivetrain. 4 valves per cylinder and the biggest, lightest and of course fastest 'standard' Carrera ever. A 3.4 and pretty soon thereafter even 3.6 liters of Stuttgart plow power. Liquid-cooled and the first 'not Ferdinand approved' 911. Will it turn over in its air-cooled heaven? We think not.

In 1969 Porsche was already working on very unwise, life-threatening, but mostly fun toys. For example, there was a 6.0 boxer ready on the shelf for the 917, with 770 Stuttgart horses(!). However, this remained in the play lab and never saw the light of day. What they did get out of it were the turbocharger and the limited slip diff. And those, she used eagerly, Greta!

The 996 Carrera 4S is considered by most to be the holy grail of the 'omelet' headlight generation. With its wide bum, thick shoes, and all-wheel drive, you can corner outrageously hard without taking down that rhododendron from the neighbor across the street. It is not only the best driving, but also the most handsome. No spoilers, but it does have Kardashian's buttocks, Turbo rims and extra air vents.

Ours? Manual transmission. Dealer maintained. Just broken in, straight out of a collection, once again looking for a spoiled and nurturing nest. Heated under cover, if possible. This one really deserves it! See you soon?
