This generation of the Porsche 911 was introduced in 1998 as the first completely-redesigned 911 since the original debuted in 1963. The 2000 Porsche 911 Carrera was essentially unchanged, powered by a rear-mounted water-cooled 296-horsepower 3.4-liter dual-overhead-cam horizontally-opposed "flat" 6-cylinder "boxer" engine, with either a six-speed manual or a 5-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission and either rear-wheel or all-wheel drive. The Porsche 911 Carrera could accelerate from 0 to 60 miles per hour in under 5 seconds and reach a top speed of 178 miles per hour, with a price starting at $68,000. Though this picture doesn't illustrate it well, this example, photographed at the 2000 Portland International Auto Show at the Oregon Convention Center in Portland, Oregon, featured metallic color-shifting paint that changed from dark green to purple depending on how the light hit it.
