Anyone in the market for an all-wheel-drive Porsche 911 will have plenty of options to choose from in 2026.
The venerable German sports car maker has just unveiled a trio of 4S models for its most iconic vehicle. The latest 992.2-generation variants will be available as a Carrera coupe, Carrera cabriolet, and Targa.

The 4S, which was introduced in 2002 during the 996 generation, isn't the only all-wheel-drive 911, but it is the most accessible. The variant makes its 992.2 debut as part of the upcoming 2026 model year following a one-year absence from the constantly evolving 911 lineup and is positioned between the rear-wheel-drive Carrera S and all-wheel-drive GTS.
The two-door is powered by the same 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged flat-six found in the Carrera S. As in that model, the mill makes 473 hp and 390 ft lbs of torque, which is 30 more hp than before (but the same amount of torque). Thanks to the added power, the car can shoot from zero to 60 mph in a claimed 3.1 seconds when the Sport Chrono package's launch-control system is engaged. Top speed, meanwhile, is listed at 191 hp when summer tires are equipped. The vehicle features an eight-speed PDK, or dual-clutch, transmission, with a manual sadly not available as an option.
The new 4S, like other all-wheel-drive models in the marque's lineup, comes with Porsche traction-management (PTM) system. The torque split favors the rear axle but can send power up front when needed. It also comes with a number of improved standard features, including a sport exhaust with silver tailpipes, upgraded dampers and hydraulics for the suspension, and brakes from the GTS. An active suspension management system and ceramic composite brakes are available as premium add-ons.
The variant features the same visual tweaks that have been found in the line since the 992.2 debut in 2024, including larger air intakes up front and a streamlined rear end. Even the biggest Porsche buff would struggle to tell the 4S apart from the Carrera S if it wasn't for the badging. The interior, meanwhile, remains unchanged.
We'll have to wait for final pricing, but expect the 4S's starting cost to come in somewhere between $146,400 (which is the base ask for the Carrera S) and $169,800 (GTS). Car and Driver reports that the Carrera 4S will likely start at $156,000, the Carrera 4S cabriolet at $170,000, and the Targa 4S at $171,000.Best of Robb Report
