How do you combine safety and dynamics?
With inner strength, for instance.
The 911 Carrera 4 models.
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 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.
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) active all-wheel
drive. 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.
