Porsche Expands 911 All-Wheel-Drive Range with New Carrera 4S Models

Porsche Expands Its All-Wheel-Drive 911 Range in 2025

Porsche continues to push the boundaries of performance and versatility by expanding its legendary 911 range with more all-wheel-drive options. With the introduction of the new Porsche 911 Carrera 4S in Coupé, Cabriolet, and Targa 4S versions, the all-wheel-drive lineup now includes six unique models, offering drivers a blend of power, control, and unmistakable Porsche heritage.

This expansion comes in a landmark year as Porsche celebrates the 60th anniversary of the 911 Targa, a body style that originally debuted in 1965 and became known as the ‘safety cabriolet’ when introduced to the U.S. market.

All-Wheel-Drive Porsche 911: A Smart Choice for Dubai Drivers

For Dubai’s unique road conditions, combining high-speed highways, city driving, and occasional sand-covered streets, all-wheel drive (AWD) in a Porsche 911 is not just a luxury—it’s a practical advantage.
Porsche’s AWD system ensures maximum traction in poor weather, improves handling on twisty roads, and provides extra stability at high speeds. The system is designed with a rear-wheel-drive bias for the true Porsche driving feel, while the Porsche Traction Management (PTM) can instantly send power to the front wheels when needed.

These new Carrera 4S models sit just below the high-performance GTS versions, offering an exciting mix of everyday usability and heart-pounding performance.

Powerful Performance: A Boost from the Carrera S Engine

The 911 Carrera 4S Coupé, Cabriolet, and Targa 4S are powered by a 3.0-litre twin-turbo six-cylinder boxer engine, now producing 480 PS—an increase of 30 PS over the previous generation.
Thanks to the eight-speed Porsche dual-clutch transmission (PDK), the 911 Carrera 4S Coupé can sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.3 seconds when equipped with the Sport Chrono Package, reaching a top speed of 308 km/h.

The AWD variants now feature enhanced cooling and a refined intercooler design inspired by the 911 Turbo, ensuring optimal performance even under Dubai’s extreme temperatures.

Celebrating 60 Years of the Porsche Targa

The Porsche 911 Targa is more than just a body style—it’s a cultural icon. Since its first introduction, the Targa has provided the freedom of open-top driving with the safety and comfort of a coupé.
Over six decades, the Targa has evolved from a manually removable roof to a fully automated, elegant roof system that opens in just 19 seconds.

The 2025 Porsche 911 Targa 4S keeps this tradition alive with all-wheel drive as standard and distinctive styling that honors the original design, including the wide roll bar and wraparound rear window. The roof is now available in multiple colours, offering even more personalisation options.

Enhanced Standard Features and Customisation

Porsche has significantly upgraded the standard equipment in these new AWD 911 models, now offering:

• 20/21-inch staggered-fitment Carrera S wheels
• Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV+)
• Sports exhaust system
• Red brake callipers with large GTS-level discs
• Rear-wheel steering (standard on the Targa 4S)

The interior is equally impressive, featuring a premium leather package, wireless smartphone charging, matrix LED headlights, and Porsche’s latest driver assistance technologies.

Customers can personalise their 911 extensively, with a wide selection of colours, materials, sound systems, and roof configurations.

Why This Matters for Used Car Buyers in Dubai

As Porsche continues to upgrade and diversify its 911 lineup, the used car market in Dubai benefits significantly. New releases like these typically bring more recent models to dealerships, while making earlier all-wheel-drive 911s more accessible to buyers looking for a premium sports car at a better price.
