porsche unveils 911 with 4s badge on the rear paris 2012 live shots

Hey, remember when Porsche made an effort to make the C4s visually distinctive? Yeah, neither do we. But the new one has stop-start and is good for the polar ice caps. Anyways, if you squint really hard you can see the big visual change on the 2013 911 Carrera 4S. The “4S” badge on the decklid.

It's gorgeous! They went back to the stand-up headlights and windshield. The "hips" are incredibly voluptuous. There are no boy-racer vents on the facias. I want one! What? The blue one? Nevermind.

This just proves that the pinacle of 911 design was the 993. The 996, 997 and 991 are all inferior at an accelerating rate.

  Out-of-context, they're fine. I see one going down the highway, and lust. Park one next to a 993 at Porschefest, though, and you're right. The 993 Turbo S is still very high on my Lottery list. Like top 5 of all time.

Pig_Iron I one of those weirdos who liked these.
SCE to AUX Inflation adjusted $79k today (!), so I guess $28k is a bargain....This is another retro car that was trying too hard, but it is very nice.
EngineerfromBaja_1990 It might provide an edge in city driving but from what I've read elsewhere the Hybrid trucks are 600 lbs to 700 lbs heavier than the gas only trucks. That translates to a curb weight of around 5000 lbs which is not uncommon for a full size truck.And a test drive suggested the Hybrid is not quicker than the gas only trucks. So it looks like the Hybrid powertrain is pretty much compensating in power for all that added weight while not providing significant fuel savings. Not what many would expect after shelling out an extra $5K - $7K for the next step up in power.
Buickman DOA like no other!
3-On-The-Tree Yes anything offroad or high performance isn’t cheap. My oldest son would do occasional burnouts in his Mustang GT then he had to buy tires for it. Needless to say he doesn’t do burnouts anymore.
