Four Wide-Body AWD 911s Ideal for Slippery Winter Conditions
There are many benefits to driving a car with four powered wheels, with traction in wet or snowy conditions being the most obvious.
Porsche initially offered all-wheel drive on its mid-'80s 959 supercar, and then followed up with a four-wheel motivated 964 C4 in 1989. C4 and C4S models were offered in 993 and 996 body styles, plus came standard with the Cayenne SUV, of course, and with the new 2006 Carrera 4 Coupe and Cabriolet models arriving at dealerships this weekend, more than 20 years of all-wheel drive Porsches make quite a legacy.
The timing for Porsche to launch its all-new Carrera 4 Coupe and Cabriolet models is apropos, being that the first snowfalls of the year are already blanketing colder regions around Canada,
while most of the country apprehensively awaits the initial cold winds, frozen rain and then eventually, white powdery stuff.
Porsche completely revised its rear-wheel drive 911 range last year, and with that came updated styling cues, a totally reworked and much improved interior, plus notable performance enhancements.
Now, all-wheel drive 911 models have received the makeover, and this weekend those who want all the traction all the time can go to their local Porsche dealership and experience the improvements firsthand.
