Porsche 997 Carrera 4S

Das Fahrzeug im Detail

`The 911 „S“ is an old name which was originally reserved for the sportiest versions of the 911. Reappearing on the 993 and 996 generations, the Carrera S was content to don a partial turbo-look without offering anything more. of horses to the customer. Here is the damage repaired and the 997 revives a tradition dating back around forty years. Criticized by purists and declining in sales recently, the 911 Carrera required some upgrades to regain sex appeal. More than a truly new model, the 997 generation is the logical continuation of the 996 to which it brings a certain number of aesthetic and technical developments. Indeed, the engineers have developed a host of new features for this model, the most appreciable of which is located under the hood of the 997 S, with the appearance of a new 3.8 L flat six offering 355 horsepower.

The 4-wheel drive variant of the 911 has existed since the 964 but has undergone profound changes to adapt to the demands of a clientele who then criticized it for an obvious lack of feeling and driving pleasure, thus forgetting the very foundations of the 911. Following this, Porsche delivered us an in-depth 993 4S, which still fantasizes many Porsche enthusiasts today, particularly with its sculptural lines. More sober, too sober no doubt, the 996 nevertheless brought the 911 into a new era. Faster, safer, more comfortable, more efficient but unfortunately also, less “sexy”. Despite unprecedented sales levels, Porsche knew that not much was missing for the 911 to regain the favor of its most loyal subscribers. Result, round headlights (or almost) and hips wider by 44 mm and here we are in the presence of one of the most desirable 911s ever produced in 40 years of career: the 997 4S!
