When the Porsche 996 was introduced in 1997, it was a major departure from the German marque’s classic formula. The platform was completely redesigned and provided a fresh start to the iconic 911 as it entered a new era.
Throughout the years, the 996 generation of the 911 platform has been largely overlooked by collectors and Porschephiles. As of recent, there has been a surge in desirability, and the rediscovery of how fantastic this platform is to drive. These 996-generation cars retain much of the raw and natural feeling of earlier 911s and are from a time before size and excessive electronics crept into the 911 lineup.
This particular example, WP0AA2998XS623394, is a very early 1999 model finished in Artic Silver Metallic (X1) over the Boxster Red Special Leather interior package (MA). This 996 was heavily optioned from the factory with the Aerokit Package (XAA), Full Carbon Package, Leather Sport Seats, Sport Chassis, 18” wheels w/Technology Rims, Hi-Fi Sound Package, Porsche Comms Management system, and Supple Leather all around. Exclusive to the Boxster Red Special Leather were Boxster Red Floor Mats, Aluminum Instrument Dials, and a Carbon/Leather Steering Wheel. With over $31,000 in options and delivered to Porsche Exchange in Highland Park, IL.
Likely a one-off example in its particular configuration, this Carrera’s factory Aero Kit paired with the Boxster Red Special Leather interior, and a plethora of options make this one stand out from its brethren. Showing 42,555 miles and always serviced by its owners with an open checkbook, this is surely one of the most extraordinary examples of the 996 platform on the market.
