The Porsche 991 family has just got bigger as the first images of the four-wheel drive Carrera 4 and Carrera 4S models in both coupe and convertible body styles have hit the web ahead of their world premiere at the 2012 edition of the Paris Motor Show on September 27.
As with the previous generations of the Carrera 4/4S series, the main way to tell apart the rear-wheel drive (RWD) 911s from their all-wheel drive (AWD) siblings is the moniker on the rear and the reflective strip that connects the tail lamps.
Just like the RWD variants, the Carrera 4 has two oval tailpipes while the more powerful Carrera 4S sports quad exhausts tips.
We don’t have any official information on the specifications yet, but aside from Porsche's all-wheel drive system, the Carrera 4 and 4S models will feature a modified suspension that will add some weight to the car.
The engines will be the same as the ones found on the RWD versions.
As such, the base Carrera 4 features a 3.4-litre flat-six with direct fuel injection and an output of 345hp (350PS) at 7,400 rpm and 390Nm (288 lb-ft) at 5,600 rpm, while the Carrera 4S makes do with a 3.8-litre flat-six with direct fuel injection rated at 394hp (400PS) at 7,400 rpm and 440Nm (324 lb-ft) at 5,600 rpm.
More details should be released over the next few days.

I'm dying to see the new targa :)
IT'S ONLY A FACELIFT and the AWD is a joke. Try 4MATIC.
Porsche, always takes them like 3 years to release a new car line. Wondering if the Targa will still be a glass roof.
i hope the new targa looks like the original targa
as to my previous comment, it's pretty much confirmed. the new targa will in-fact be a legit targa. there are some spy shots going around showing porsche trying to disguise it as a convertible.
Like the reflective strip on the rear, but does it really need all that chrome writing?
The coupe model in the pic seems to have a glass roof panel like in the 997 targa
I like Porsche, but the design still carries the trade mark of the original designer. I think it's time for Porsche to completely change its design, I mean afterall, the original designer had passed away. keeping his name is good enough, does Porsche have to stick with the old design for so long.
couldnt they at least change the bumper?
What the hell are you talking about?
Just because its a 4wd model??It's not a turbo or gt version
Wow! It looks so much different than the previous model...
