Carerra S vs Carerra 4S??

Jan 26, 2009 1 Replies

I took a half-day Porsche Experience session, which was a real hoot. We drove Carerra S cars; follow the leader, skidpad, and a general lap with chicanes.



I was very impressed with the handling in the Sport Plus mode, like a video game. And the PSM was amazing on the skidpad and for helping in the follow-the-leader.



So I'm wondering, why should I consider the 4S over the S? It's a high-dollar upgrade but when will it matter? I live in Texas USA where it hardly gets snowy/icing. So anyway, if anyone out there can give some advice from their experience, rsvp



Get the Carrera S.

There was a Top Gear episode on Youtube about this, the comparison of the 2S vs. 4S...and the 2S won the battle. I don't have the link, or title of that clip - but I'm sure you'll eventually find it. it takes place at an indoor stadium track.

The 2S ran smoothly and brilliantly, with agility. Handles so well that the 4S seems like overkill.

The 4S seemed heavier, which it is...and less doctile. not to mention noticeably more expensive.
