Following the introduction of the 911 Carrera and 911 Carrera Cabriolet, Porsche now expands the line-up further with the all-wheel drive 911 Carrera 4 and 911 Carrera 4 Cabriolet models.
Like the 911 Carrera models, the new Carrera 4 and Carrera 4 Cabriolet are powered by a 385 PS version of the charismatic 3.0-litre, six-cylinder boxer engine with twin turbo charging, generating 440 Nm of torque from 1,950 to 5,000 rpm. The power output is 15 PS higher than its predecessor.
Fitted with the standard eight-speed dual-clutch transmission (PDK), the 911 Carrera 4 can accelerate from 0-62 mph in 4.2 seconds. When equipped with the optional Sport Chrono Package, this time drops to 4.0 seconds. The 911 Carrera 4 Cabriolet accelerates to 62 mph in 4.4 seconds, and in 4.2 seconds when equipped with the optional Sport Chrono Package. Top track speed is 181 mph for the 911 Carrera 4 and 180 mph for the 911 Carrera 4 Cabriolet. The combined fuel consumption range (WLTP) of the Carrera 4 Coupé is 26.2 – 28.2 mpg, while the Cabriolet records 25.9 – 27.7 mpg. NEDC equivalent CO2 emissions Combined are 210 - 211 g/km.
As with the 911 Carrera 4S models, the front axle drive of the 911 Carrera 4 has undergone further development in support of the increased performance. The clutch and differential unit is now water-cooled, and features reinforced clutches to raise durability and load capacity. The increased actuating torques at the clutch improve the adjustment accuracy of the differential and thus the capability of the driven front axle. The enhanced front axle drive in combination with Porsche Traction Management (PTM) promotes an increase in traction on snow, as well as in wet and dry conditions.
The 911 Carrera 4 and 911 Carrera 4 Cabriolet are available to order now from Porsche Centres in the UK and Ireland and are expected to reach customers from late October 2019. The 911 Carrera 4 Coupé starts from £88,101.00 RRP, and the 911 Carrera 4 Cabriolet from £97,746.00 RRP.
Customers are also invited to explore the potential of their new car, and further develop their own skills behind the wheel, by participating in a bespoke driving experience around the unique tracks at the Porsche Experience Centre, Silverstone.
