The C4S Cab's steering system is amazingly direct, the result of a hydraulically assisted force-sensitive rack-and-pinion setup that provides near perfect high-speed transitional response while also

delivering a tight 10.6 m (34.8 ft) turning circle diameter for easy parking in abbreviated parking lots. The steering column is collapsible with reach adjustment too, optimizing the seating position. That brings up the car's superb sport seats, light and thin but still wonderfully supportive. The only thing the car does quicker than accelerate, is stop, compliments of four 330 mm (13.0 inch) cross-drilled, internally ventilated discs with aluminum-alloy 4-piston monobloc fixed calipers, colored in red no less. To make sure slippery road surfaces don't impede rapid deceleration Porsche includes

Bosch ABS 5.7, considered to be among the most advanced antilock systems on the market. The car's all-wheel drive system adds to its stability, whether at launch or in the corners no matter the weather conditions. This is enhanced further by Porsche Stability Management (PSM), an almost uncanny high-speed stability management system that literally can save a poor driver from overestimating the forces of nature.
Still, inertia is inertia and gravity sucks when an overzealous right foot gets the better of on otherwise sound mind. There are conundrums even all-wheel drive, ABS and PSM can't overcome, and for these moments C4S Cab owners will be grateful Porsche has included such critical standard features as seatbelt pretensioners and force limiters, dual front and side airbags, along with front and rear deformation zones, and side-impact protection beams.
