Porsche 911 Carrera 4: With turbo and all-wheel drive

D the Porsche modular system goes into his next round. After the evolution of the normal 911, it is now the turn of the all-wheel drive models. In contrast to the modifications that the normal 911 has already shown, the all-wheel-drive models naturally come up with the 44 mm wider rear fenders. A new strip of lights runs between the new taillights, which should have a more plastic effect.

New in the Carrera 4 models is the optional rear-wheel steering, the from the 911 Turbo and 911 GT3 models. The all-wheel drive, which is now controlled electro-hydraulically, has been revised. This means that the 370 hp Porsche 911 Carrera 4 sprints faster than its rear-axle counterpart for the first time.

The convertibles and the 911 Targa 4 with comparable equipment need a little longer, plus 0.2 seconds. The maximum speeds are between 287 km /h and 305 km /h, depending on the model and equipment.

The consumption of the all-wheel drive vehicle drops by 0.8 liters in the 911 Carrera 4 Cabriolet with PDK to 7.9 l /100 km; In the 911 Carrera S Cabriolet and the 911 Targa 4S, each with PDK, consumption is even reduced by 1.2 liters to 8.0 l /100 km.
