About the 2002 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S

The 996 Carrera 4S bridged the gap between base Carrera and Turbo, offering all-wheel-drive traction with naturally-aspirated reliability. Its 3.6-liter flat-six produced 320 horsepower, 40 more than the standard Carrera, while Porsche's intelligent all-wheel-drive system provided confidence in all conditions. Pinky Lai's polarizing water-cooled design featured the wider Turbo body, complete with distinctive side air intakes and flared fenders, giving the 4S a more muscular stance than its rear-drive siblings. While initially overshadowed by reliability concerns surrounding early water-cooled engines, well-maintained examples have proven durable. The 4S represents an interesting collector proposition: it offers 90% of a Turbo's presence at a fraction of the cost, making it appealing to enthusiasts seeking modern 911 performance without the complexity or expense of forced induction.
