2004 Porsche 911 C4S

Porsche is the evolutionist's car company. It doesn't come out with new designs that frequently. Then, when it does, it sticks with them--often for decades--constantly tweaking, improving, and expanding the lineup. One interesting mix-and-match 911 model was the Carrera "Turbo Look" of the mid-1980s, which blended the Turbo's bulging fender flares, beefier wheels and tires, and whale-tail rear spoiler with a naturally aspirated 3.2-liter engine. Turbo-Look Carreras are now among the most highly sought classic-era 911s. Porsche employed a similar formula when it brewed up the Carrera 4S for the 2003-2004 model year.

The C4S combines the Carrera 4's all-wheel-drive chassis and 3.6-liter, 320-horsepower, non-turbo flat-six with the wide rear fenders, larger rolling stock, and other body-style revisions normally reserved for the Turbo models. It's a nice blending of the standard Carrera and more aggressive Turbo's appearance.
