With the new Carrera GTS model already on sale, it was only a matter of time before Porsche released an all-wheel drive version of its new flagship non-turbo sports car. Matching the GTS in output, the Carrera 4 GTS delivers an increase of 23-hp over the Carrera 4S, with a 0-60 mph time that’s a hair faster (0.1 seconds to be exact), at just 4.0 seconds with the optional 7-speed PDK dual-clutch gearbox and Sport Chrono Package Plus. As an AWD Porsche, the Carrera 4 GTS gets a 44-mm wider body with larger rear wheel arches. Other exterior upgrades include a SportDesign front lip, black side skirts from the GT2 and a black panel between the tailpipes. Plus, it comes with a stunning set of black-painted center-locking 19-inch RS Spyder wheels. Inside, there are black leather and Alcantara seats, plus an Alcantara steering wheel, gearshift lever and handbrake. On sale this Fall, Porsche will offer both a hard top and soft top version, with the 911 Carrera 4 GTS Coupe priced from $110,200 while the 911 Carrera 4 GTS Cabriolet will retail for $120,100.

As mentioned, the latest 2012 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 GTS is essentially the ‘Carrera 4’ all-wheel drive version of last year’s 911 Carrera GTS. It gets the same 408 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque 3.8-liter flat-six engine, as well as a throaty sounding sports exhaust system and Porsche Traction Management stability control. The end result is a 0-62 mph time of just 4.6 seconds in the Coupe when fitted with the manual transmission, and 4.8 seconds for the Cabriolet. Of course, adding the PDK will shave an additional 0.2 seconds respectively off the acceleration times. In terms of handling, the standard all-wheel drive should manage to keep you on the road, even when nearing the car’s--and your own--limits. Here, the PTM system can send the optimal torque levels to the front wheels via a multiple-plate clutch in order to help prevent the wheels from slipping. Also helping things is a standard limited-slip differential. Visually, the new Carrera 4 GTS models with all-wheel drive differ in points of detail from earlier variants with rear-wheel drive. In addition to the type name on the doors and rear lid, the distinguishing characteristic of all models with all-wheel drive is the additional reflective stripe between the taillights. What the Carrera GTS models, both the regular version and the 4, have in common is the 911’s wide body, otherwise reserved for the all-wheel version of the 911s, and the rear axle track width that goes with it.
