Porsche Carrera 4S

Nice Car. But abit weird.

Why have the four wheel drive to tackle bad weather conditions when you can have the roof down for the better weathered climates?...Unless it's aimed to be a near look-alike Turbo Convertable or it's targeted at those places where the weather is unpredictable. When it rains it pours and when it's sunny it's hot.

Still though, I can't see bucket loads being sold.

First, thanks for the great pics.
Second, I'm not totally agreeing with you. Even though the AWD-cabrio might seem as a wird combination, I still think that it will attract a lot of Porsche buyers.

Either way, what a great car this must be! But I think the pricing of the Carreras has gone a bit too far. I'll bet you have to pay at least about € 85'000 for this one.



Once again, :king: Porsche.

I think it's a nice looking car. Although I also think an AWD convertible sports car might be an excess, I concur that the 4S cab will be in demand as this seems to be an ideal 4 seasons sports car; slap the hardtop on and drive it in the winter and keep the top down in the summertime.

First of all: thanks for the pictures, Klint.

I seriously doubt Porsche would offer the model if there wasn't a market for it, particularly since this is not the only four-wheel drive 911 convertible: the Carrera 4S rag-top joins the Carrera 4 in the line-up.

krm, I believe you are right in identifying the car as the ideal four-season sports car. I saw quite a few Carrera 4 convertibles, many with hardtops, when I lived in New England, which of course experiences rough, snowy winters and beautiful summers.

If nothing else, the Porsche engineers might just be practising for the next launch: the 911 Turbo convertible



Now, that's one terribly appealing car--and a serious contender to Ferrari 360 Spider.

I don't really agree with you.
you use awd not only when it rains...also in good weather conditions you have profit of the awd.; grip, traction,...

If you can't think of the Carrera 4S to be a popular car, then you definitely should think so about a possible 911 Turbo Cabrio.

If a car is going to sell, it's that. I think that there are a lot of current 911 Turbo owners who want a cabriolet.

Me, I'm kinda old school, roof up please!

Excellent Point!

I really never thought of it like that. Being an all-season GT.
