Porsche 997.2 Carrera 4S

Das Fahrzeug im Detail

The question of „Why is it or what makes it so special?“ tends to come up surrounding the 997.2 C4S and here’s why, it’s the final iteration of the 911’s iconic svelte and „right-sized“ silhouette (that dates back to previous generations — with the 991 and now 992 911s, this is lost), an accompanying wide-body on an already slender form, along with the iconic rear reflector tail light bar, a multi-plate clutch AWD system derived from the 997 Turbo, enlarged rear-rotors that are cooled by underbody-located dual NACA ducts, the factory optioned Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) system (aids in intensifying the already scalpel-like handling characteristics), and lastly, select interior components and the 9A1 DFI flat-six engine that are both shared with the 991 911. The 997.2 C4S is the ultimate marriage of things „borrowed“ from a new generation, yet still retaining the old ideologies of what makes a 911, a 911.
