911carrera 4s




Every element fulfils a function. From this principle, the 911 draws its inner strength. The logical consequence of this is the 911 Carrera’s very low drag coefficient of 0.29.
The air intakes on the front end have been enlarged to provide increased cooling power and give an even more dynamic appearance.
Bi-xenon headlights are fitted as standard on all 911 models. The indicators and LED daytime running lights and position lights are harmoniously integrated into the separate front light units above the outer air intakes for an imposing look.The optional dynamic cornering lights have a swivelling module for the dipped beams – visible engineering for improved visibility. As with the modified exterior mirrors which provide an even better rearward view.
The rear end, too, has undergone a restyling. The imposing LED taillights are drawn right into the wing and taper off to the outside. Unmistakable – especially at night. The stainless steel tailpipes, designed as twin tailpipes on the S model range, are integrated seamlessly. Another important aesthetic contribution is the wheel design. As standard, 911 Carrera models are fitted with 18-inch wheels and Carrera S models with 19-inch wheels.
Specific to the all-wheel drive variants is the 44 mm wider stance at the rear and the taillight strip, which, as a striking design feature, lends even more impact to the rear end.
In every respect, the design is unmistakably 911 – because its form follows function. And all the while it maintains its unique appeal.


Character

Outstanding driving dynamics and traction are what the allwheel drive variants of the 911 have to offer above all else. And they’re instantly recognisable. By their wider body – an extra 44 mm at the rear wings. By the wider rear track – 32 mm more in Carrera 4S models – and the wider rear tyres. Also, by their titanium-coloured front air intake grilles and slats, and seamless taillight strip. Painted in black for contrast, the trims on the lower rear panel and the side skirts provide improved protection against stone impact.the trims on the lower rear panel and the side skirts provide improved protection against stone impact.

In terms of measurable values:

The performance of the 911 Carrera 4 with the 3.6-litre engine is 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 5.0 seconds with a top speed of 284 km/h (177 mph).
The 911 Carrera 4S completes the 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) sprint in just 4.7 seconds and reaches a maximum speed of 297 km/h (185 mph).

On to the internal values:

On to the internal values:

Both models are equipped with Porsche Traction Management intelligent all-wheel drive, which until now has been exclusive to the 911 Turbo. PTM has been optimised for outstanding driving dynamics, which are also underpinned by the mechanically locking rear differential. In addition, the traction offered by PTM represents a significant safety feature – especially in wet and snowy conditions.
The 911 Carrera 4 models therefore deliver improvements in both safety and dynamics. However, this is no surprise to their drivers, who see them as an indication of their inner strength.

Luxury coupes can be divided into two categories: performance and touring models. Performance models include the  Porsche 911, Cheverolet  -- two very different models. But these models do have one thing in common: sports car status. That means they’re intended for the highway, not city driving. They’re too powerful and small and have low fuel-economy ratings, making them impractical for daily commutes. Save these vehicles for weekend getaways with your significant other.
Touring coupes, such as the BMW 128i coupe and the Mercedes Benz E350 coupe, will do better as your primary mode of transportation. Neither has stellar fuel-economy ratings -- the 128i gets 18/28 mpg, city/highway and the E350 gets 17/26 -- but their size, performance levels and the 128i’s price are much more practical. The E350’s V6 engine pumps 268 horsepower, while the 128i’s V6 pumps 230 horses.
Fuel Economy
If saving money at the pump is a priority, use the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) website to check ratings for the vehicles you’re interested in. The EPA lists data for two- and four-wheel drive vehicles and even tells you how much you will spend on fuel each year.
Most luxury coupes don’t have exceptional fuel-economy ratings. The Audi A5 Coupe gets 21/31 mpg, city/highway, which is more than most other luxury coupes can boast. Fuel-economy ratings aren’t high for the Corvette and Carrera because these engines are designed for performance: the Corvette gets 16/26 mpg, city/highway while the Carrera gets 19/27 mpg, city/highway.
Comfort
Coupes can seat two, four or five people, but in most models, only the driver and front passenger will be comfortable. Coupes lack rear doors and their sloping rooflines make rear seats cramped. You should always test all the rear seats thoroughly to see if they’re comfortable enough for short trips. If not, don’t be afraid to pass up a model in favor of something roomier.
Most coupes fit two comfortably in the front, but watch out for models with super small dimensions. Drivers and passengers who are six feet tall or more may be cramped out of the smallest models.
Features
If you want a luxurious cabin, don’t buy a coupe built for sports enthusiasts, even if the cabin has plenty of front seat space. Instead, look at coupes that offer a lot of tech features that make the cabin livable. The Infiniti G37 is a great example. This entry-level luxury car has standard leather seats, XM Radio, push-button start and MP3 playback capabilities, and you can equip it with a lot more. A sunroof, dual-zone temperature control, heated seats, a Bose sound system and navigation system are optional.
Utility
Like convertibles, coupes are not utilitarian vehicles, but their trunks can usually handle luggage for a weekend getaway for two or a week’s worth of groceries. At 7.4 cubic feet, the G37 coupe has one of the smallest trunks in the class. For more space check out the BMW 328i coupe’s 11 cubic feet. This isn’t much space considering sedans can offer up to 16 cubic feet, so it’s important to buy a model with a decent amount of interior storage. Look for spacious glove compartments and deep center consoles. Even if the rear seats aren’t fit for passengers, going for a coupe with back seats can increase your cargo space, especially if the rear seats fold down.
