The 2000 Porsche 911 is a great sports car that deserves more of a stylistic difference from its less costly sibling, the Boxster.

It might be thirty five years old, but there are no wrinkles or gray hairs here. The Porsche 911 continues to be one of the world's top sports cars. Porsche has the uncanny ability to build a car that has top-level performance (zero-60 in under 5 seconds), legendary mystique (what 13-year-old boy doesn't dream of owning a 911?) and real-world functionality (a useable interior and optional all-wheel drive).

The 911 is now in its second year for the current platform. The 1999 model represented the first "clean-sheet" redesign of the 911 since its introduction in 1965. Longer, wider and sleeker than any previous 911, the newest version nevertheless maintains the unmistakable 911 profile and classic styling cues. There are currently four models: the Carrera Coupe and Carrera Cabriolet, and the all-wheel-drive Carrera 4 Coupe and Carrera 4 Cabriolet

Like all previous 911s, the current models feature a rear-mounted horizontally opposed six-cylinder engine. Serious Porsche enthusiasts cried foul when Porsche announced the engine would be water-cooled, rather than air-cooled. But it's hard to argue with the results. For 2000, the all-aluminum 3.4-liter engine generates 300 horsepower and 258 foot-pounds of torque. The 4-horsepower gain from 1999 is due to a new exhaust system.

Porsche offers a choice of either a six-speed manual or a five-speed Tiptronic S automatic transmission. The Tiptronic S allows drivers the option to manually select transmission gears via steering wheel-mounted thumb switches. For 2000, the Tiptronic's manual mode can be activated by using the thumb switches, even if the shift lever is in the "D" position.

To keep the 300 horsepower under control, the 911 gets an independent suspension that uses an optimized MacPherson strut design in front and a multilink setup in the rear. The standard 17-inch wheels come with 205/50ZR17 tires in front and 255/40ZR17 tires in back. An optional 18-inch wheel/tire package enhances both looks and performance.

For ultimate traction, there's the Carrera 4. The all-wheel-drive system found on this car can direct torque to the front wheels at a rate of 5-40 percent, depending on available traction and power applied. Carrera 4s receive Porsche Stability Management system (PSM) as standard equipment (optional on Carreras).

In the Carrera Coupes, the rear seatbacks fold down to create a flat cargo floor. The one-touch power soft top on the Cabriolet models folds compactly in a compartment behind the rear seats. A standard hardtop cover fits flush against the body with the roof lowered.

What's not to like? Well, the 911 has the unfortunate problem of sharing very similar front-end looks with its smaller brother, the Boxster. For a $ 15,000 premium, it'd be nice not to be confused with a lesser car. And with MSRPs ranging from $ 65,590 to $ 80,400, the Porsche heritage still includes sapping a big bundle of cash out of your wallet.

Porsche 911 Overview and History

Who hasn't heard of Porsche? In 2006 it won the most prestigious automobile brand for over 70 years of excellence and dedication to the four-wheel god. Established at first as a consulting and development company by Dr. Ing. Ferdinand Porsche in 1931, Porsche SE has since become synonymous with luxurious sports cars as well as cutting edge technology.

Situated in downtown Stuttgart, Porsche's first contract of developing a people's car, a Volkswagen, appointed by the German government. The result was one of the most famous cars in history, one of the best sold and one of the most easily recognizable out there, the Beetle. Many features of the Beetle would find their place on the first ever Porsche, the 64, developed in 1939.

During WWII the Porsche factory turned to making vehicles for the German Army, such as the Kubelwagen and the Schwimmwagen as well as contributing to the production of Tiger and Elefant tanks. After the war Ferdinand was imprisoned for war crimes for 20 months and was during that time that his son, Ferry Porsche, decided to build a new car to suit his needs – the 356.

The success of the 356 and the death of Ferdinand Porsche in 1951 gave Ferry the confidence to follow in his father's footsteps and continue designing cars. One of his most famous designs was the Spyder 550, a car that would prove very successful in races.

By now, the general line of the company seemed evident, as in 1964 another sporty model, the 911, another car with a air-cooled, boxer, rear-mounted engine. The design team for this car was led by Ferry's oldest son, Ferdinand Alexander Porsche. this car would take the legacy of the 550 Spyder even further, winning races and rallies. Testimony to the success of the 911 is the fact that it's still in production today, despite being heavily modified.

Porsche was going to change its status in 1972 from a limited partnership to a public limited company, which meant that now Porsche would be run by a board of directors supervised by family members. In 1974, at the Paris Auto Show, Porsche unveils the new 911 Turbo, with exhaust turbocharger and pressure regulator.

When the 924 was entered in production in 1975, Porsche took a leap of faith because it had not experienced with front-mounted engines for a long time. By Porsche standards, the 928 was an oddity, with its front-mounted V8 engine made out of  metal alloy. Then, in 1981, a new transaxle model is added to the Porsche line-up, the 944. The high-performance Porsche 959 is unveiled at the Frankfurt Auto Show in 1985. It will go on to win a lot of races and rallies, the best known  being the Paris-Dakar.

A new technological leap was made in 1988 when the 911 Carrera 4 with all-wheel drive was introduced on the market. Then, in 1989, the “Tiptronic” automatic gearbox system is fitted on Porsches. In 1991, Porsche becomes the first car manufacturer to fit driver and passenger airbags on all its models.

The Boxter model is introduced in 1996 after 3 and a half years of development. That same year, Porsche celebrates 1million units being produced. Two years later, Ferry Porsche dies at the age of 88 but the company moves on and has a great season at Le Mans with the 911 GT1, coming in first and second. This was going to be only the beginning for Porsche, which continued with the very sporty and high-performance models Boxster S and the Carrera GT in 2000.

In 2002 Porsche entered the SUV market with the unconventional Cayenne and its later versions, the Cayenne Turbo and Turbo S. The next model on the line-up for Porsche, announced for 2009 is the Panamera, a four-door sedan. With this new model, Porsche seems set to take on a whole new market, directly competing with other luxury brands such as Mercedes, BMW and Audi.

2000 Porsche 911 Consumer Reviews

Carrera 2dr Coupe
Best Porsche I ever owned, before my newer one.
Fast and responsive -This Carrera is the best Porsche I have ever owned, it is quick, agile and and feels completely safe on any surface. Gone is the extreme over-steer and the front end lift under acceleration, and at 0-60 in 4.1 seconds, the 997.2 is nothing to sneer at. I bought this Porsche in 2015 with 9,000 miles, it looks new, it feels new and it is very well maintained and a pleasure to polish. Much maligned by the snobs who call themselves "purists" and no more IMS and RMS fear mongering with the new cam drive design. No additional oil between changes.

No substitute!
Have owned car about a year, purchased used with 50k on it. Had original window sticker and records. Always wanted a 911 since I was a kid 30 years ago, but fearful of cost of owning a performance German car, but wish I had done it years ago. Awesome driving car, a solid rock. Bullet like acceleration, brakes that stop on a dime and give 9 cents change, on rails handling, visceral exhaust noise. Classic style that will never be mistaken for some pseudo Asian competition. This car is addictive to drive. I find myself always taking the long route home.

Nothing better
I bought this car 5 years ago - speed yellow with black top, and then 28,000 miles. It's almost 11 years old now with 60,000 miles. No one believes it. These are phenomenally fun, well- built and fast cars. I drive mine daily and thoroughly enjoy it. By far the most satisfying car I've ever owned (and I've owned Mercedes, Audi, Lexus, Toyota, etc...) There is no doubt that the only thing that will replace it will be a newer 911 convertible - hopefully a Turbo. In a word - you need one!

Great Car!!!
I picked this car up used, one owner, 48,000 Miles and it's been a dream. No oil leaks to speak of, mechanically sound. This is a great daily or just weekend driver. I change my own oil for under $ 50 and that is with a K&N Filter and Mobil 1.

"Buy one while you still can"
Hard to describe the insane value of the 996 TT. Very hard to resist driving it daily, walks the line of old meets new Porsche. In the end the one thing Porsche purest hate most (headlights, water cooled etc.) will be what separates it from the rest. Mezger engine with 6 speed manual and racing pedigree? Cmon, better get one before all the good example of them are gone.

"Phenomenal for the money."
I can hardly believe the value on these cars. It runs like a dream. I own 10 classic cars and 3 more later model cars this included. 2000 Carrera 4 is my daily driver. Incredibly dependable. I heard others say they are good cars but this thing is like bulletproof. I've had it 3 years now. I had to do some minor work on a small oil leak under hood which was quickly solved. I love that it has passed smog 2 times no sweat. Quicker then my muscle cars by a lot and much better handling. I don't understand why the resale is so weak on these it is a well kept secret as far as I can say for money spent.

"Always a Thrilling Driving Experience"
I've owned the 911 TT for four years now. Every time I drive that car my impressions of the overall engineering escalate. It's a bit noisy and feels every inch of the road but who cares once you feel and see that incredible driving experience. The power, the handling, the Bose sound system, the curb appeal (and yes I like the looks of the Turbo 996) all in a 19 year old car at an incredible price. Look at the price of the new Turbos and compare. I will keep this car forever... and I will never loose a penny on this one.
