911 Carrera 4
Outstanding driving dynamics
and traction are what the all-
wheel drive variants of the 911
have to offer above all else. And
they’re instantly recognisable.
By their wider body – an extra
44 mm at the rear wings.
By the wider rear track – 32 mm
more in Carrera 4S models –
and the wider rear tyres. Also,
by their titanium-coloured front
air intake grilles and slats, and
new seamless taillight strip.
Painted in black for contrast,
the trims on the lower rear panel
and the side skirts provide
improved protection against
stone impact.
How do you combine safety and dynamics?
With inner strength, for instance.

911 Carrera 4S
In terms of measurable values:
The performance of the
911 Carrera 4 with the 3.6-litre
engine is 0 to 100 km /h
(62 mph) in 5.0 seconds with
a top speed of 284 km /h
(177 mph).
The 911 Carrera 4S completes
the 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) sprint
in just 4.7 seconds and reaches
a maximum speed of 297 km/h
(185 mph).
On to the internal values:
Both models are equipped with
Porsche Traction Management
(PTM, p. 62) intelligent all-wheel
drive, which until now has been
exclusive to the 911 Turbo.
PTM has been optimised for
outstanding driving dynamics,
which are also underpinned
by the mechanically locking
rear differential. In addition,
the traction offered by PTM
represents a significant safety
feature – especially in wet and
snowy conditions.
The new 911 Carrera 4 models
therefore deliver improvements
in both safety and dynamics.
However, this is no surprise
to their drivers, who see them
as an indication of their inner
strength.
