Every element fulfils a function. From this principle, the 911 draws its inner strength. The logical consequence of this is the 911 Carrera’s very low drag coefficient of 0.29.
The air intakes on the front end have been enlarged to provide increased cooling power and give an even more dynamic appearance.
Bi-xenon headlights are fitted as standard on all 911 models. The indicators and LED daytime running lights and position lights are harmoniously integrated into the separate front light units above the outer air intakes for an imposing look.The optional dynamic cornering lights have a swivelling module for the dipped beams – visible engineering for improved visibility. As with the modified exterior mirrors which provide an even better rearward view.
The rear end, too, has undergone a restyling. The imposing LED taillights are drawn right into the wing and taper off to the outside. Unmistakable – especially at night. The stainless steel tailpipes, designed as twin tailpipes on the S model range, are integrated seamlessly. Another important aesthetic contribution is the wheel design. As standard, 911 Carrera models are fitted with 18-inch wheels and Carrera S models with 19-inch wheels.
Specific to the all-wheel drive variants is the 44 mm wider stance at the rear and the taillight strip, which, as a striking design feature, lends even more impact to the rear end.
In every respect, the design is unmistakably 911 – because its form follows function. And all the while it maintains its unique appeal.


Character

Outstanding driving dynamics and traction are what the allwheel 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 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.the trims on the lower rear panel and the side skirts provide improved protection against stone impact.

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:

On to the internal values:

Both models are equipped with Porsche Traction Management 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 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.
