Buyer's Guide & Data from our Checks
The PORSCHE 911 996 (1997-04) CARRERA 2 2DR COUPE 3.6 40 YEARS is a premium, two-door sports coupe, rather than an everyday family hatchback or SUV. Its 3.6-litre engine and rear-wheel drive give it the classic 911 character, while the 40 Years edition celebrates the model’s anniversary with distinctive specification. In the UK used market, it sits among desirable performance cars, appealing to enthusiasts seeking an iconic badge and engaging drive.
