2026 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S gets even more power
A is a simple, uncomplicated sportscar that remains the benchmark for simple, uncomplicated sportscars. Trying to order a new one however: quite complicated. Today, Porsche has released another new swathe of 911 variants to confuse you even more.
So, welcome to the new Porsche 911 , 911 Carrera 4S Cabriolet, and 911 Carrera 4S Targa. Good luck sailing the deep waters of the Porsche configurator.

Probably still are. The new 4S cars get Porsche’s uprated , producing (around 30 horsies more than the last-gen 4S), that additional grunt in part thanks to adopting the intercooler design from the 911 Turbo.
All 4S 911s are matched to an and of course,. The front diff is, apparently, water-cooled and controlled electromechanically as in the last-gen car, and “like every 911 with all-wheel-drive, the S variants are nevertheless designed with rear-biased driving dynamics”.
Extra Good Stuff comes via the 4S’s standard-fit 20/21in staggered wheels, Porsche’s (PTV+), a sports exhaust, and the (408mm discs up front, 380mm at the back). Go for the Targa 4S, and you’ll get thrown in too.
There’s also leather, LED headlights, wireless phone charging, the ‘light design’ package, and any number of personalisation options. You can even spec in a rear-seat for the Cab and Targa cars – normally they’re delivered as strict two-seaters.
Speed? It’s there alright. In the Coupe with the Sport Chrono Pack, the 4S will do 0-100kph in 3.3s and crack on to 307kph. Porsche hasn’t revealed times for the Cabrio or Targa 4S cars, but expect them to be a fraction slower. Which still won’t be slow.
