1995 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S
In 1995, Porsche offered the larger Turbo bodywork on the Carrera 4 and called it the Carrera 4S. Also included were the larger brakes, upgraded suspension and interior bits. Outwardly, the 4S was very close to the Turbo model without the large rear wing. Very similar 18 inch wheels were fitted and covered the red-calipers from the Turbo line. In America, the 4S was offered at $73,000 USD which was $32,000 less than the flagship Turbo.
