The model update gives the Porsche 911 a new, even faster-responding all-wheel drive. Test drive with the 385 hp “C4S”.
For the brand’s 60th birthday, Porsche is once again freshening up its flagship 911. As usual, the visual retouching is marginal; the focus is on the technical innovations. The engines are more powerful and more economical at the same time, and can now also be combined with a dual-clutch transmission. The all-wheel drive models have also undergone major changes, recognizable by the “4” in the lettering.
The question of whether a sports car – and especially a 911 – needs all-wheel drive at all divides fans and buyers alike. For some, a four-wheel drive Porsche would never be an option – because of the higher weight of 55 kilograms and for the sake of tradition: for a long time, 911s were either reviled or valued as rear-end skidders. Around 50 percent of buyers still opt for all-wheel drive – out of a love of technology and for traction.
