That allowed a normal conversation even with the top down at highway speed. It featured the same options as the coupe, plus the wind deflector. Inside, the Carrera 4S Cabriolet offered four seats but cramped in the rear. The wider tires and wider rear fenders give these models a better stance, a more squat down and get straight to business appeal. Unfortunately, the Carrera 4 was overshadowed at launch by the Carrera 4 S, which had all of those things, plus a more powerful engine and extra “S” goodies.īoth the Carrera 4 and Carrera 4S have the wider rear tracks than a standard Carrera and S and it makes all the difference in the looks department. It had the same rear wide fenders as the Carrera 4S and the Carrera S and it offered an enhanced all-wheel-drive system, which transferred between 5 and 40% of the torque to the front wheels. The 997 Carrera 4 was based on the same platform with its predecessor but enhanced. The added traction from that all-wheel drive system helps. The convertible was only 85 kilograms (180 lbs) heavier than the coupe, which made it just as fast as the sporty Carrera S Cabriolet.

This was probably the first convertible 911 that was as good a performer as it coupe siblings with the added benefit of open top driving in the summer with the comfort of being a great daily driver all year round. Here was a convertible 911 that had a gorgeous wide-body stance, all-wheel drive traction for inclement weather and the extra power of the potent 3.8 L Flat 6 that was good for 350 bhp and 295 ft lbs of torque. While the 997 Carrera 4S coupe sold a healthy 15,056 units between 20, the equally exciting Carrera 4S Cabriolet sold 12,587 units, making it a pretty popular 997 model. 911 (997) Research Hub (2006 – 2008) Porsche 911 Carrera 4S Cabriolet – Ultimate Guide
