The Porsche 911 Turbo (996) replaced the 993 Turbo shortly before the turn of the century. The most notable changes of the 996 were its water-cooled engine and vastly different exterior design.

The Porsche 911 Turbo (996) appears in Need for Speed: Porsche Unleashed as a class 1 vehicle in the Modern Era category.

The 911 Turbo is one of the quickest cars in the game due to its top speed and acceleration. It is capable of exiting corners with little loss of speed and is less prone to oversteer or understeer than the Porsche 911 Turbo (993). However, the 996 engine has a tendency to "cut" at the redline, causing a sudden drop in torque, which is extremely dangerous for high-RPM cornering. This severe drawback makes 996 less competitive than its predecessor.
