Sorry but a lot of misinformation above...

3,131 lbs for the "S" vs 3,075 lbs for the regular one.
0-60mph in 4.6 vs 4.8
Top speed 182mph vs 177 mph.

Sorry but the weight is more than offset by the hp and torque increase. Also the width is exactly the same (71.18 in), only the 4WD have the wider body and even more extra weight (3,252 lbs. for the C4S)...

If you can afford it buy the "S" version, you won't regret it.
Actually shame on P for bringing the non "S" version that had no hp increase over the 996, or at least the "S" should have had the X51 engine, and/or significantly less weight.



The 993 Carrera S had the same wider (Turbo) body as the 993 Carrera 4S, at least in Europe, and I assume this was the same for the States. You could still order the "normal" body as 993 C2 and C4, Targa (2) and Cabrio (2 + 4), from MY 96 with 285 HP instead of 272 HP, due to the added Variocam (HP for Europe) !!
The 993 4S was available from MY 96, the 993 S from MY 97, AGAIN at least in Europe.
