Wait a minute, viscous coupling AWD, 5% to front and up to 35% when needed? thats the exact same system as in the 996. There were rumors of a new active differentail AWD
Drag is up compared to the RWD but Cd is listed as greater on the C4 than on the C4S, that can't be right
They have lower acceleration and top speed than the RWD's according to the brochures. The C4S 0-60 is actually the same as the base 997.
One thing is for sure, the extra 44m in width mentined is sure not visible in the photos in the 997, I'm sure it will be in person though.

That is right carlos, sounds like 996 system, and I heard that Porsche was changing to the Swedish Haldex AWD-system used by Audi, VW, Volvo, Bugatti Veyron... either they did not or it is setup like the 996

Are you sure about this Carlos? It says 0-62mph in 4.8 secs for the C4S. That is the equivalent of 0-100kph, no? If so then the acceleration is the same.

Its definately not the electronic Haldex, it says "viscous multiplate coupling" which is the 996's diff, not that its a bad AWD... but maybe they will introduce it in the 997TT?

For 0-62 mph the UK Porsche website says:
C2 5.0 sec
C2S 4.8 sec
According to the posted brochure the base 4 is 0.1 sec slower and the 4S is equal. I guess this is possible if you apply 'Porsche-rounding-mode' for the figure
