The Porsche 911 range expands further to include the regular all-wheel-drive constituents of the line-up, with the introduction of the 911 Carrera 4S Coupé and Cabriolet as well as the Targa 4S for the facelifted iteration of the 992-generation sports car. As before, the 4S suffix means the combination of Carrera S powertrain with all-wheel-drive, the former being a 3.0 litre boxer six-cylinder biturbo engine that outputs 480 PS, with the gains over the pre-facelift 4S achieved in part through an optimised intercooler system, of a design carried over from the 911 Turbo. The peak power figure now matches that of the facelifted 2WD Carrera S, as well as that of the pre-facelift, “992.1” Carrera GTS. All 4S variants send the outputs to the driven wheels through an eight-speed PDK dual-clutch automatic. The most athletic guise of the Carrera 4S, the Coupé does 0-100 km/h in 3.3 seconds with the Sport Chrono package, and on to a top speed of 308 km/h. The latest Targa 4S and Carrera 4S variants of the 911 feature a rear-biased all-wheel driveline, incorporating the Porsche Traction Management (PTM) system that will apportion more torque to the front axle when necessary. As before, the clutch assembly for the front differential is an electromechanically controlled, water-cooled unit, albeit with a gear ratio slightly altered from before, says Porsche. Chassis specification for the Carrera 4S range as standard includes staggered-size Carrera S wheels of an updated design, measuring 20 inches and 21 inches in diameter, along with PTV+ (torque vectoring) and a sport exhaust system. Braking kit is carried over from the Carrera GTS, bringing 408 mm front discs and 380 mm rear discs with calipers finished in red; the Targa 4S gets rear-wheel steering as standard. Rear seats are fitted to the Cabriolet and Targa variants as standard, while the Coupé is a two-seater as standard though rear seats here are a no-cost option. Also included in the Carrera 4S facelift range are matrix LED headlamps, Light Design Package, while lane departure warning comes as standard. Also standard here are a leather trim package, wireless smartphone charging, self-dimming interior and exterior mirrors with mirror surround lighting. As before with Porsche, a host of options are available, for upholstery, colours, audio, luggage systems and more.
