When the new 996 generation of the Porsche 911 made its public debut in 1997, a murmur went through the 911 crowd. Water cooling? What had happened to the compact dimensions? Not to mention the weight... Most fans came to terms with this, as the 996 went on to prove that it was in fact the best Porsche 911 to date. In terms of the front design, however, even Porsche itself recently admitted to having made a grave mistake with the 997 it subsequently released. Whilst the 996 still had the odd-looking “fried eggs” as headlamps, the new model is characterized by the classic round/oval shaped headlamps. However, before 996 owners go get themselves a 997 simply because of these “fried eggs”, they should take a look at Hamann’s styling suite for Porsche. This high-class tuning specialist from Laupheim gives the 996 a make-over, lending it the looks of the latest Porsche 997.
