The first - generation version of the car, known internally at Weissach as the 986, used essentially the same front end, albeit with a different bumper, as the new «996» 911 that would arrive shortly afterwards. (evo.co.uk)
As you can see from the photos, the coupe has the same front end and doors as the roadster. (automobilemag.com)
That same front end is a much better match to the current generation 911 front fascia, with larger openings below the bumper split by blades of plastic and thin strips of LED lights. (roadandtrack.com)
