The bold new Carrera 4S is an even sportier version of the Carrera 4 Coupe, combining the traction advantages of all-wheel drive with the look and chassis enhancements of the 1996 911 Turbo.
Carrera 4S or something

The Carrera 4S shares the Turbo's front air dam, side rocker panels and wider rear bodywork. As well as the Turbo's massive 285/30ZR18 rear tires. And you'll find enormous 322-mm disc brakes at each corner of the Carrera 4S, the same brakes specified for the Turbo, with the same 4-piston calipers painted in red. The suspension also features the Turbo's springs and shocks. The result is perhaps the most desirable normally aspirated Porsche ever built.
