Garage Kept Motors.) I'd buy the manual. - Kirk Bell, Motor
Authority, 11/11/2016 In late 2016, Martin Padgett's Motor
Authority internet site dispatched writer Kirk Bell for a second
drive review of the then brand new 2017 Porsche Carrera 911 4S
Coupe. The long review of a PDK-equipped model concluded with the
above quote. What follows are excerpts of his notes from the entire
review: ... Porsche has updated the 991 generation of the 911,
adding turbochargers to the base and S models. ... new so-called
991.2 generation 911 features two new twin-turbocharged flat
sixes... base version displaces 3.0 liters and puts out 370
horsepower and 331 pound-feet of torque. ... increases of 20 and
44, respectively. ... in S models the displacement is the same but
the output is up to 420 hp and 368 lb-ft of torque, increases of 20
and 43... Would turbo lag be a problem? What about the sound?... it
soon became apparent that my fears were misguided. ... the new
turbo (not to be confused with Turbo) engines are better than the
naturally aspirated engines they replace... the 420-hp engine in
the 4S retains all the character of the outgoing engine, but adds a
bit more power and a lot more low-end torque. ... the 0-60 mph run
takes just 3.7 seconds, and the top speed is up from 188 to 191
mph. In the all-wheel-drive 4S model I drove, the added traction
drops the 0-60 run by another tenth. At its fastest, it's three
tenths quicker than the outgoing 3.8-liter flat-6. ... I sensed no
turbo lag and felt a bigger kick in the pants off the line. Bell
went on to describe the ride as firm but not harsh, and he wondered
how Porsche was able to make the 305/30R20 tires soak up the bumps
so well. He also praised the dramatic upgrade in the car's PCM
infotainment system with improved touch functions, Google Maps, and
Apple CarPlay features. And as noted above, in the end, his own
choice would be for the 7-speed manual transmission car.
Resplendent in its Jet Black paint-over-black leather, offered here
is just such a 911. A true, properly equipped, driver's 911. Most
important, the car has amassed only a minimal 8,200 miles, and from
its pristine condition throughout, it has been properly driven and
properly cared for. At a price discount of approximately 22% versus
new, it also represents a value for the Porsche enthusiast.
Noteworthy among its options are the Sport Exhaust system, Sport
Chrono Package, and Bose sound system. The car's original factory
window sticker, shown among the more than 180 high-definition
photographs available at the GarageKeptMotors site, is the best
documentation of all the features and options on this 991.2
example. Also included at the site is a short startup video with a
sampling of the beguiling flat-six engine note recorded at the
dual, rear center-located exhaust. Of course, an automobile of this
caliber deserves an in-person inspection and we are happy to
arrange one by appointment at our Grand Rapids, Michigan showroom.
Every Porsche is special in its own way, but a 911 in
black-over-black is simply classic. This Carrera 4S is no different
in that regard. Adding a measure of uniqueness, its first owner
ordered the car with only the 911 badging on the rear deck,
eschewing the longer model description for reasons of personal
taste, modesty, or quite possibly, stealthin
