(from Porsche Press Release)
The 911 Carrera 4 Cabriolet all-wheel drive system uses a viscous
multi-plate clutch mounted just behind the front differential. The
Cabriolet features a fully automatic power roof, an automatic deploying
supplemental safety bar structure, and a standard removable aluminum
hardtop. A glass rear window with integral defroster replaces the
polycarbonate window in the Cabriolet. Safety technology includes a
patented crumple-zone body structure, dual front airbags, door-mounted
side airbags, and anti-lock brakes (ABS). The Porsche Stability
Management System (PSM) is standard on the 911 Carrera 4 and optional
for the 911 Carrera.
The 2002 Carrera 4S combines the
3.6-liter, 320-horsepower normally aspirated 911 Carrera engine with the
all-wheel drive chassis, body design and feature content of the 911
Turbo. The 911 Carrera 4S replaces the 911 Carrera 4 Coupe in the
Porsche line.
The Carrera 4S shares the 911 Turbo’s
basic body shell but adds unique design elements. Instead of the Turbo’s
two-piece rear spoiler, the Carrera 4S retains the automatic-deploying
rear spoiler used on other 911 Carrera models. From the rear, the quick
tip-off to the model’s identity is its exclusive reflector strip
connecting the taillights. The Carrera 4S deletes the Turbo’s large
intake ducts ahead of the rear wheels, since these are only required on
the Turbo to supply air to the turbo intercoolers. The 911 Carrera 4S
does retain the Turbo’s lower rear quarter panel louvers.
