Carrera 4S in the first half of 991

Recently, there are many people around me who buy the first half of 991. Everyone is saying thatNA engine sound and rotation feelIt is.

NA 911 may come out in the future, but in the sense of the last NA engine 911 in the era when noise regulation was loose and GPF was not attached, there are many people who want to get it now. Let's go.

I am one of them, and I bought the Carrera 4 GTS in the first half of 991.

This time, I will test driveCarrera 4S in the first half of 991become. However, it is a bit different from the Carrera 4S.It is a superb car that contains about 5.7 million yen as an option alone.

Leather finish interior mirror trim

Basalt black metallic paint

The exterior color is Basalt Black Metallic. Although this color is black, it has many metallic elements and becomes black with a slight reddish tinge.If Jet Black Metallic is bluish black, this is understood to be reddish black.Is easy to understand.

The interior is an all-leather espresso that costs 820,000 yen. Not only that, the optional leather finish to the back of the mirror and the leather finish to the center tunnel of the rear seat are luxurious specifications that have never been seen before.

In addition to that, seat ventilation, BOSE sound system, carbon interior package, center console with crest, and 14way sports seats are all included.

Probably the rarest option in 911 history. Rear footwell lighting.

All driving options include sports chrono package, sports exhaust system, sports steering, and PDCC.

It's already like the Turbo S.

What is the difference between 4S and 4GTS?

This time, theIn the test drive, I would like to focus on the differences between my Carrera 4 GTS and report on them.

First.The engine sound you hear outside is pretty loud.I heard the sound of running up the winding outside, but the volume was loud even though it was an elegant and pleasant sound, and the bashing and bashing sounds when shifting the PDK were also wonderful. Even with 4S, if there is a sports exhaust, it will be a roaring sound as it is.

Sit in the driver's seat and align the seat. Unlike the Sports Seat Plus, the 14way sports seat has a wider seating surface. This is very similar to the relationship between 992 Sports Seats and Sports Seat Plus.

As they start to run, theThe sound heard in the car is a little quieter than GTS.The ride quality is mild. To be precise, it's not a clear tire touching feeling like GTS, but a light impression. This is similar to the Carrera Cabriolet in the early 991, which was previously tested.

Although there is a difference in the direction of the feeling of ground contact, the ride quality is almost the same for both GTS and 4S, and the ride quality is generally good.

The effect of PDCC is small to the extent that winding is flowed in normal mode, and with a moderately loose roll, it goes through the curve with a gentle feeling. Compared to the normal GTS, the reaction at the beginning of steering is a little milder.

To express this ride quality,It may be more accurate to say "good ride quality" than to say "good ride quality".People in the passenger seat wouldn't say that it's hard or uncomfortable to ride.

Set to sports mode and try running the engine. Try accelerating while enjoying the shift of the sharp PDK. The valve of the sports exhaust opens, and a pleasant sound can be heard from the rear. Compared to GTS, the sound you hear in the car is quite different.

GTS has a sound more similar to the ground sound of "Gwon" in the car, but 4S is not so sporty.

Although the volume is loud, the sound is a little mild. This is because GTS has different sound symposer tuning, intake / exhaust system mechanism and parts, so I think that is the influence.

Perhaps this 4S will have the same feeling if a retrofit genuine optional power kit that becomes the same engine as the GTS is installed.

By the way.Do you feel the difference in power between GTS 430ps and 4S 400ps engines? Regarding that point, I feel that I can say from the conclusion.Up to about 4000 rpm, I don't feel any difference at all, but when accelerating in the rev range after that, I feel a difference in torque.

It is true that there are moments when I think that GTS will accelerate even more powerfully. However, 4S also has sufficient power performance, so I don't think you need to worry about power at all.

Denka's treasure sword "PDCC"

Press the PDCC switch to change to the sports setting. From here, this car is at its best.

Roll control works clearly, and 4S transforms from here into a "magic carpet". I hardly feel the impression that my legs are stiff,The roll on the curve is clearly reduced, changing from a mild impression to a sporty impression.

The feeling of wraparound from the middle of the curve becomes stronger, and it becomes the movement of the sports car itself. Since it is a 4x4, the traction is wonderful, and the car body is pushed forward like a catapult no matter where you step on it. Even so, the rolls are kept low, so the occupants feel only the minimum lateral G-force.

To the last, "Comfortably fastIt is PDCC that realizes that.

After finishing the test drive, I went around the car and took a look again, but it was very beautiful and cool.

The balance between the slight redness of the exterior Basalt Black and the redness of the interior espresso leather is wonderful. The wide body unique to the 4 series, the garnish that connects the rear to the left and right, and the silver model logo shine on the black body.

One day, it was the best car that I strongly wanted to order a new car with such elegant and tasteful specifications.
