Three Porsche 911 4S to rule them all!

Porsche enriches its legendary 911 lineup with the arrival of three highly anticipated new 4S variants.

Carrera 4S Coupé, Carrera 4S Cabriolet, and Targa 4S are three Porsches that share a crucial common point: a state-of-the-art all-wheel drive system, designed for both performance and driving serenity. With 480 hp under the hood, they push the boundaries of driving pleasure without encroaching on the playground of the GTS versions.

Under their hood, you find the 3.0-liter twin-turbo six-cylinder engine, now boosted to 480 hp, which is 30 hp more than the previous generation. This increase is notably due to a new air cooling system inspired by the 911 Turbo. As a result, a Carrera 4S Coupé can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.3 seconds (with the Sport Chrono package) and can reach a top speed of 308 km/h. The 8-speed PDK dual-clutch transmission ensures ultra-fast gear shifts with impressive efficiency.

A sporty behavior that is signature Porsche

In terms of handling, the 4S models boast an impressive balance. Thanks to the Porsche Traction Management system, traction remains optimal regardless of weather conditions, while still maintaining the rear-wheel drive character typical of the 911 due to the engine placement philosophy. This is sure to attract a discerning and numerous clientele, as nearly one in two buyers of the ‘S’ version opts for all-wheel drive.

Coupé, cabriolet, or Targa? The choice becomes challenging. Especially since the Targa celebrates its 60th anniversary this year. True to the spirit of the original model introduced in 1965, it now combines an automatic retractable roof that opens in 19 seconds, a unique look with its signature rollover bar, and all-wheel drive as standard. A true icon that, more than ever, blends timeless design with modern technology.

The standard equipment has been significantly enriched with 20/21-inch Carrera S wheels, a sports exhaust, GTS brakes, LED matrix headlights, rear-axle steering on the Targa, leather interior… not to mention an almost infinite range of customization options.

In terms of pricing, you will need to shell out €166,400 for the Carrera 4S, €180,600 for the Cabriolet, and €182,400 for the Targa. It is a considerable investment, indeed, but whatever one may say or think, the 911 remains more than ever a benchmark.
