Vehicle Detail
Selling my 2002 911 C4S, great car. Owned since 2011, only drove 14K miles in that time, only during dry Summer weather. Spent over $6K on window regulator (2011), 90K major service (2011), 105K minor service (2013), and new ignition coil and spark plugs (2014). Only selling to clear some room in the garage for a new addition. From Motor Trend Magazine...Known internally as the C4S, this new take on the all-wheel-drive 911 is a flat-out gorgeous car. The big news is the Turbo-style flared rear quarters, adding visual heft and 2.4 inches of width to what was the weak, receding end of the tapering body and simultaneously creating room for 295/30ZR-18s on 11-inch-wide rims. Leaving the Turbo's air-gulping scoops off the flanks (no intercooler to feed) lets us see the sculptural continuity of the shape. Wow!In the rear view, a band of red connects the taillights across the car's full width. Perfect!In front, you see Turbo-size air inlets. And look carefully at the spoiler's lower lip. It's trimmed higher across the center. This adjustment, along with a rear spoiler that deploys to a slightly different position than before, tailors the front-to-rear balance of aerodynamic lift and trims the coefficient of drag to 0.30, compared with 0.31 for the Turbo.The 911 now comes in eight variants, according to Porsche. Whereas the old Carrera 4 could be characterized as a 911 upgraded with all-wheel drive, the Carrera 4S amounts to a depressurized Turbo. It has Turbo wheels and tires, the large Turbo brakes, the Turbo's suspension, and the Turbo's all-wheel-drive machinery that delivers from 5 to 40 percent of driving torque to the front wheels, depending on conditions. The big mechanical difference between the two is a 100-hp deficit. The C4S is propelled by the 315-hp, 3.6-liter six from the normal 911. The one big visual difference: There's no wing on the C4S, just a self-rising spoiler similar, but not identical, to those on other 911s. Like the Turbo, the C4S rides 0.4 inch lower on its suspension. A new fiberglass engine cover offsets some of the poundage gained in new muscle, but weight still goes up 143 pounds versus that of the base Carrera 4 six-speed.
