Miss the old suspension tuning? Simply press the PASM button or the sport button on the center console, and the track-ready rough ride returns.This 2006 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S cabriolet is finished in Guards Red over black leather and powered by a 3.8-liter flat-six driving all four wheels through a six-speed manual transaxle. One of the primary complaints regarding our previous-generation 911 C4S long-termer was that the ride was unyielding to the point of being abusive. All Carrera 4S models come equipped with Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM), which softens impacts and keeps the ride pleasant, despite the rubber-band-like sidewalls. Although road noise and the humming of the giant rear tires can be heard at highway speeds, the rest of the car coddles and never annoys. When asked to perform commuting duties, the Carrera 4S does an impressive job of not making one suffer for its lofty performance capabilities. What you will sense is a confidence-inspiring chassis and steering that will make most other cars feel numb. As with the acceleration shortfall, it's unlikely you'd be able to detect the extra grip from behind the wheel. Perhaps it was the larger rear tires (unlikely), or maybe it was the more balanced weight distribution provided by the extra hardware up front, but skidpad grip was an internal-organ-crushing 0.99 g, slightly higher than the best figure (0.97 g) we've recorded in a Carrera S. Carrera 4S's come standard with 305/30ZR-19 Michelin Pilot Sport PS2s on 19-inch wheels (the Carrera 4S pictured wears 18-inch wheels shod with snow tires we tested on the standard 19-inch wheels and PS2s). Showing surrounding traffic that you've selected all-wheel drive are flared rear fenders that house wider tires. If you get in an argument about which accelerates faster, the rear-drive S or the 4S, fall back on the fact that the 4S doesn't lose as much of its accelerative capability when the road is wet or snow-covered.

The all-wheel-drive system alleviates axle hop by sending up to 40 percent of the power to the front wheels. One thing is certain, the 4S didn't suffer from the severe axle hop - rear tires slip and scramble for traction sending shudders throughout the car - that plagues two-wheel-drive 911s subjected to a hard launch. The slightly slower times, compared with the faster Carrera S, could be due to the all-wheel-drive model's extra friction and 138 pounds, or it might just be due to production variation. A trip to the track revealed the 4S couldn't quite match the acceleration times of the two-wheel-drive model tested in November 2004 - 4.1 seconds to 60 mph versus 4.3 seconds for the 4S - but it did match the performance of the 911 Carrera S pitted against an Aston Martin V-8 Vantage (" Working Exotics," March 2006). The Carrera 4S we spent a couple of weeks with, wished we owned, wrote Santa about, and tested came equipped with the sweet-sounding 355-hp, 3.8-liter flat-six introduced in the 2005 Carrera S.
