Iħjut Reviżjoni: Porsche 911 Carrera 4

Is-sewqan b'erba 'roti jagħmel il-911 sigur u preċiż, iżda nippreferu l-purità tal-immaniġġjar tal-mudell standard. Porsches 911, ipprovduti friski b'erba 'roti misjuqa għax-xerrejja tar-Renju Unit. Imma għandha bżonn em? Il-mistoqsija tagħha li ilha lingering sa mill-964 ġiet introdotta fl-1989, u – tedjanti – hekk kif jiġu u jmorru l-ġenerazzjonijiet, jidher biss li qed issir aktar diffiċli biex twieġeb. B'differenza minn Zuffenhausens l-ewwel mudelli kollha paw, il-Carrera 4 u 4S 991s il-ġodda jiġu bi ftit bugbears assoċjati ħafna. L-aħħar drivetrain b'erba 'kantunieri, flimkien mar-roti usa' tal-ġisem u ta 'wara tax-xaħmijiet li huma standard fuq l-4 u l-4S, jimponu penali tal-piż tal-bankina ta' 50kg biss fuq il-karozza; dak huwa nofs dak li kien ikun. Fil-każ tal-karozza tat-test manwali Carrera 4 tagħna, l-aċċellerazzjoni tal-bidu permanenti ssofri biss wieħed minn għaxra ta 'sekonda, u l-ogħla veloċità b'żewġ mili biss fis-siegħa relattiva għall-Carrera ekwivalenti - skont it-talbiet uffiċjali. L-emissjonijiet tad-diossidu tal-karbonju huma ogħla, iżda mhux biżżejjed biex il-Carrera 4 titneħħa fit-territorju tad-diska tat-taxxa tal-Banda L ta' 460 sena. Għalhekk l-uniċi sidien tal-ispejjeż verament jeħtieġ li jikkonċernaw lilhom infushom huwa l-primjum tal-prezz ta '6500.

Four-wheel drive makes the 911 secure and precise, but we prefer the handling purity of the standard model. Porsches 911, freshly provided with four driven wheels for UK buyers. But does it need em? Its a question thats been lingering ever since the 964 was introduced in 1989, and – annoyingly – as the generations come and go, it only seems to get harder to answer. Unlike Zuffenhausens first all-paw models, the new Carrera 4 and 4S 991s come with very few associated bugbears. The latest four-corner drivetrain, together with the wider body and fatter rear wheels that are standard on the 4 and 4S, impose a kerb weight penalty of just 50kg on the car; thats half what it used to be. In the case of our Carrera 4 manual test car, standing start acceleration suffers by just a tenth of a second, and top speed by just two miles per hour relative to the equivalent Carrera – according to the official claims. Carbon dioxoide emissions are higher, but not by enough to lift the Carrera 4 into 460-a-year Band L tax disc territory. So the only cost owners really need to concern themselves with is the 6500 price premium.
