Herpa 013963 H0 Car Porsche Boxster S, red and black

The range of mini-kits is extended with new form variants. The 996 series (model year 1998) started a new era in the 911 series: The previously air-cooled engine was now water-cooled. The 996 was also "bullish" (wider and longer) compared to the predecessor, WAS steered the look a little way away from the "classic" sports car. The introduction of the Boxster itself, which was a little cheaper, brought Porsche criticism, since it was not a typical 911 and therefore the "likelihood of confusion" large.
