Excitement is brewing in the world of high-performance sports cars with the launch of three phenomenal new variants of the 992.2 Porsche 911 range. The all-weather Carrera 4S now embraces the road in Coupe, Cabriolet, and Targa forms, each designed to thrill whether you're cruising through the city streets or carving through winding country roads. Remarkably, around half the sales of the 911 Carrera S come equipped with all-wheel drive—a testament to the demand for unmatched handling and stability combined with sheer power. This new offering positions itself as a luxurious option without stepping into the GTS's T-Hybrid territory, making it an enticing choice for enthusiasts and newcomers alike.
With a starting price of approximately €147,300, the Carrera 4S carries a premium of around €7,400 over its two-wheel-drive counterpart. But it’s well worth it for the array of standout features that come standard, including jaw-dropping matrix LED headlights, innovative wireless phone charging, and customizable ambient lighting that allows you to set the mood just right. While this beauty shares its rigid chassis setup with the rear-wheel-drive Carrera S, it cranks up the excitement with advanced technology, such as Porsche’s sophisticated torque-vectoring rear differential, a race-inspired sports exhaust, and adaptive suspension that responds instinctively to the road ahead.
And who doesn't love options? The Carrera 4S offers a plethora of enhancements, allowing drivers to indulge in a sportier setup featuring a 10mm drop in ride height, mesmerizing carbon-ceramic brakes for outstanding stopping power, and rear-wheel steering that enhances maneuverability and cornering effectiveness. What’s more, for those looking to transport extra passengers, rear seats are an available option at no additional cost for the Coupe. You may also choose to add these practical yet stylish seats to the Cabriolet variant for an extra €11,500—something perfect for those weekends spent with friends soaking up the sun! Topping out the range is the luxurious Targa, priced around €156,700. This model impressively includes rear-wheel steering as standard, providing improved handling and responsiveness, and lowers the barrier to entry for an enticing Targa model significantly—by almost €23,000 compared to the previous Targa GTS. Underneath the stunning exterior, the Carrera 4S is powered by Porsche's remarkable twin-turbocharged 3.0-litre flat-six engine, producing a spirited 473 horsepower—an increase of 14 horsepower over its predecessor.
With torque rated at a propulsive 530 Nm, this beast rockets from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.3 seconds for the Coupe version—two-tenths quicker than its rear-wheel-drive sibling. For purists hoping for a manual transmission, the 4S is only available with the cutting-edge eight-speed dual-clutch automatic, providing seamless shifts for an exhilarating driving experience that keeps you engaged and thrilled. So if you’re in the market for a dynamic sports car that perfectly balances performance and luxury, look no further than the latest edition of the Porsche 911.
Driving a Porsche 911 has never felt so exhilarating—get ready to experience true automotive passion!
