The 996 Carrera 4S is a slightly-uprated version of the 996 Carrera 4. Mechanically quite similar to the standard Carrera 4 with a naturally-aspirated M96 and all-wheel drive, the Carrerra 4S used the wider bodyshell of the 996 Turbo for a more aggressive look. It also used a stiffer suspension than the standard Carrera 4 model, which led to better handling. The Carrera 4S was offered between 2002 and 2005 although the cabriolet version was introduced in 2003. A total of 23,055 were produced, of which 17,298 were 996 C4S Coupes and 5,757 were 996 C4S Cabriolets.
