Porsche 997 Carrera 4S

2006 Porsche 911 (997.1) Carrera 4S 6-Speed Cabriolet: A modernized yet nearly uninterrupted take on the original, the arrival of the 997 brought back the 911’s quintessential design philosophy and is the last 911 generation where electronic driving aids aren’t in abundance, the final use of a hydraulic assisted steering system (readily relays roading conditions in the most refreshing way) in conjunction with a chassis that boasts enthusiast desirable characteristics (such as the immensely preferable and very apparent “Pendulum Properties”, favorably sizing, and a wheelbase that’s shorter, just to name a few of this generation’s lauded traits) that would no longer be as apparent and/or present in the 911 generation to follow, catapults the 911’s 6th generation into contemporary classic status and deservedly so. In convertible guise, the 911 experience only amplifies and with its impeccable all-wheel-drive prowess and emotive 6-speed transmission, even greater pleasure and driving dynamics can be explored and because it’s the all-wheel-drive variant, its rear fenders are much more pronounced providing for an alluring visual! With the Carrera 4S, you can expect greater power from its characteristic 3.8-liter engine that delivers 355 hp while a visibly pleasing lowered ride height of 0.39 inches over the non-Carrera S as provided by the natively equipped Porsche Active Suspension Management system which uses active damping, increases the car’s already sensational handling characteristics.
