The Porsche 911 996 variants, manufactured between 1997 and 2004, often fly under the radar despite their significance. Designed by Pinky Lai as Porsche's first water-cooled 911, it aimed to propel the brand into the modern era. Though sharing some frontal design elements with the Porsche Boxster drew criticism from air-cooled purists, it remained one of the most beloved 911s in history.
Host Jethro Bovingdon of Sports and Exotic Car, presented by Gullwing Motor Cars, stands by the 996 Carrera, owning one for over a decade. Notably, Jethro has transformed his own 996 into an exceptionally track-focused vehicle, a passion shared by many motoring journalists who often modify their cars.
In this episode, Jethro unveils his personal Porsche 996, showcasing its evolution into a highly track-oriented build. Follow along as he guides us through a thrilling journey—from a track day at Circuit De Spa Francorchamps in Belgium to a high-speed blast on Germany's renowned autobahn.
