Not every 911 becomes a cult favourite, but the 996.2 Carrera 4S earned its place without asking. One look at its wide, planted stance is enough, purposeful, confident, almost predatory. This isn’t the kind of 911 you stumble upon; it’s the one enthusiasts quietly hunt for, the perfect blend of analogue soul and Turbo-bodied presence.

Behind the wheel, the 3.6L flat-six feels alive in a way modern drivetrains rarely do. It’s naturally aspirated, responsive, and paired with Porsche’s all-wheel-drive system that gives the car a planted, reassuring feel even when the road gets imperfect. The Tiptronic suits its character, relaxed when you want it to be, yet direct enough to make backroad drives genuinely enjoyable. It balances the grand tourer vibe with the spirit of a proper sports car.

Walk around it and the details tell their own story. The signature Turbo Twist wheels, the muscular hips, the clean silhouette, it’s unmistakably a 4S. A car built for people who appreciate engineering and design working together, without the need for gadgets or overwhelming tech. Everything you touch feels solid, purposeful, and engineered with intention.

For anyone who wants a 911 that blends usability with real character, this 996.2 Carrera 4S stands out. It’s the kind of car you grow into, not out of, a companion for daily drives, long trips, or quiet morning runs. A modern classic with the right amount of soul, and a Porsche experience that remains true to its roots.
