2002 was the 1st year for the updated/facelifted 996. The narrowbody base Carrera had underbody fittings for improved aerodynamics, front and rear bumpers were restyled, but most importantly Porsche gave the Carrera the Turbo’s updated headlights with standard bi-Xenon lamps (no more Boxster look!).
The wheels on this car are 18″ Sport Design’s and we think the best looking factory wheel. No indication of tire wear from the selling dealer.
The face-lifted Carrera’s also got new engines. The original 3.4L M96/02 were all replaced by a single 3.6L M96/03 type producing 320HP. These new engines also came with a new VariocamPlus system and a new DME that mimics the Turbos minus the boost control. Unfortunately, the M96/03 still suffers from the same IMS issues as the M96/02. Unfortunately, the seller makes no mention of any IMS work, so proceed with caution.
The interior is finished in “Graphite Grey” partial leather with heated/powered standard seats. Additionally this car is equipped with embossed Crests in the seats, floor mats Comfort and Technic Package (CD player, Litronic and on-board cpu).
