Just before slipping inside of its Black Full Leather cabin, you’re first met by stainless steel door sills with ‚Carrera 4S‘ insignia in a light-colored finish, and when inside you can expect to find light-colored twin-stitching and aluminum/brushed aluminum/metallic-coated surfacing on select areas with supple leather that extending onto the upper dashboard and door areas. The driver is faced with a multi-functional and leather-wrapped 3-spoke steering wheel featuring PDK gearshift switches along with an integrated display that shows when ‚Sport‘, ‚Sport Plus‘ and ‚Launch Control‘ modes have been switched on; titanium-colored instrumentation dials; a centrally located dash-mounted SportChrono dial in titanium; 6.5-inch touchscreen navigation display; the winsome PDK shifter. Front occupants are embraced by Comfort seats characterized by ruffled leather (this characteristic also finds its way onto the rear seats) and can expect in-cabin audio playback via the optioned BOSE Surround Sound System, featuring 12-speakers.

The 997.2 C4S‘ Forte: It’s the final iteration of the 911’s iconic svelte and „right-sized“ silhouette (with the 991 and now 992 911s, this is lost), an accompanying wide-body on an already slender form along with the iconic rear reflector tail light bar, a multi-clutch AWD system derived from the 997 Turbo, enlarged rear-rotors that are cooled by underbody-located dual NACA ducts, the factory issued Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) system (aids in intensifying the already scalpel-like handling characteristics), and lastly, the updated interior components and the 9A1 DFI flat-six engine that are both shared with the 991 911. The 997.2 C4S is the ultimate marriage of things „borrowed“ from a new generation, yet still retaining the old ideologies of what makes a 911, a 911.
