Porsche 911 CarreraThe early 2000s Porsche 911 Carrera (996 generation) marked a major shift to a 3. 4L water cooled flat six engine, producing roughly 296 300 HP. Known for its sleek, redesigned body with controversial "fried egg" headlights and a price drop from its predecessor, this era offered improved performance, a 0 60 mph time of around 5 seconds, and 6 speed manual or 5 speed Tiptronic options.
