Porsche expands the 911 range
Porsche enriches the 911 range with the introduction of three new Carrera 4S versions - Coupé, Cabriolet and Targa - which are immediately below the GTS models in terms of performance and equipment. With these innovations, the all-wheel drive variants of the 911 rise to six, doubling the offer for those looking for maximum traction and driving pleasure in all conditions.
The new 911 Carrera 4S is equipped with a 3.0-litre twin-turbo 6-cylinder boxer engine with an output of 353 kW (480 hp), an increase of 30 hp compared to previous models. This is also thanks to the optimised intercooler system, inspired by the 911 Turbo. All variants are mated to the 8-speed PDK dual-clutch automatic transmission. In particular, the 911 Carrera 4S Coupé accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.3 seconds (with Sport Chrono) and reaches a top speed of 308 km/h.
The Porsche Traction Management (PTM) all-wheel drive system, which favours rear dynamics but transfers torque to the front if necessary, has been refined with a new gear ratio. The front differential is electromechanically regulated and water-cooled. As per tradition, the Targa is available exclusively with all-wheel drive.
60 years of the 911 Targa: the evolution of an icon
2025 marks the 60th anniversary of the birth of the 911 Targa, introduced in 1965 as a "safety cabriolet" to comply with US safety regulations. Its unique design, with anti-tilt bar and removable roof, has now become a symbol of open-air Porsche sportiness. Since 2014, the roof opens automatically in 19 seconds with a choreographic system that folds the rear window and raises the panels. The module is available in black, blue, red and brown. Today the Targa 4S joins the Targa 4 GTS, offering two different variants of the historic bodywork.
Enhanced standard equipment
The new 911 Carrera 4S also impress with enhanced standard equipment : 20/21-inch Carrera S wheels, offset tyres, GTS-derived braking system with 408 mm front and 380 mm rear discs, red calipers, Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV+) and sports exhaust.
The rear-axle steering on the Targa 4S is also standard. While the Coupé is configured as a two-seater (with the option to add rear seats for free), the Cabriolet and Targa offer a four-seat configuration.
The interior is covered in leather and equipped with Matrix LED headlights, wireless charging for smartphones, Light Design package, electrically folding rear-view mirrors with perimeter lighting, automatic dimming and rain sensor. A wide range of customisations are available: colours, materials, audio systems and driver assistance technologies.
Prices in Italy: 911 Carrera 4S Coupé: from 168,338 euros; 911 Carrera 4S Cabriolet: from 183,028 euros; 911 Targa 4S: from 184,891 euros (Prices include VAT and with specific equipment for the Italian market).
