The frunk is also in good order.This Porsche rolls on a mixture of radials. The tires are 235/35ZR19 in front and 295/30ZR19 in back. Each tire is mounted to a 10-spoke alloy wheel. The car has MacPherson strut front suspension with aluminum alloy lower control arms, aluminum alloy multi-link LSA (light, stable, agile) rear axle with toe correction characteristics and front/rear stabilizer bars.Out back is a 3.4L DOHC flat, water-cooled, six-cylinder engine with fuel injection.

The front buckets and carpet are in very good order. The three-spoke steering wheel has a leather rim. The dashboard has VDO analog and digital speedometer, analog tachometer and digital odometer/trip odometer. It and the inner door panels are all in very good shape, as is the center console and console-mounted shift lever. A factory infotainment system rounds out the interior.The Porsche 996 was a new design developed by Pinky Lai under Porsche design chief Harm Lagaay from 1992 to 2006; it was the first 911 that was completely redesigned, and carried over little from its predecessor as Porsche wanted the design team to design a 911 for the next millennium. Featuring an all-new body, interior, and the first water-cooled engine, the 996 replaced the 993 from which only the front suspension, rear multi-link suspension, and a six-speed manual transmission were retained in revised form. The 996 had a drag coefficient of Cd=0.30 resulting from hours spent in the wind tunnel. The 996 is seven inches longer and two inches wider than its predecessor. It is also 45% stiffer courtesy of a chassis formed from high-strength steel. Additionally, it is 110 pounds lighter despite having additional radiators and coolant.The 996 was initially available in a coup or a cabriolet (Convertible) bodystyle with rear-wheel drive, and later with four-wheel drive, using a 3.4L flat-6 engine.At its debut, the 996 featured the most significant change from the classic 911 series: a water-cooled engine replacing the previously air-cooled engine. Progressively stringent emissions and noise regulations, environmental concerns, a higher expectation for refinement and the need for a high-performance 4 valve per cylinder engine made the switch necessary. Other major changes include a completely new platform having a sleeker body with a more raked windshield, and a re-designed interior along with new "fried egg" shaped headlamps (so called due to the amber-colored turn signals) instead of previous "bug eye" headlamps.
