911 Carrera 4S

2012–2019Coupé · Cabriolet

The Carrera 4S pairs the wider Carrera 4 body and PTM all-wheel drive with the strongest Carrera engine: 400 PS (294 kW; 395 hp) from the 3.8-litre naturally aspirated six in the 991.1, then 420 PS (309 kW; 414 hp) and 500 Nm (369 lb-ft) from the 3.0-litre twin-turbo in the 991.2. It was also the body donor for the Targa and, in its wide-hipped proportions, the car most buyers picture when they think of a 991 Carrera. With PDK and Sport Chrono the facelift coupé covers 0–100 km/h in 3.8 s, tops out at 303 km/h (188 mph) and weighs 1,510 kg (3,329 lb).
