Porsche released a bunch of fancy new images of the 991 Carrera 4, the four-wheel drive version of the latest generation of the sports car daddy: Porsche 911. As we said before, the Carrera 4 only makes sense if you absolutely need the extra grip and traction; it makes sense for UK road users for instance, because it always rains. The two-wheel drive Carrera S remains the best 911 in our book.

We have to say we kinda dig the wide rear arches of this car though. To get that on a normal Carrera, you have to wait for the GT3 version to arrive. The Carrera 4 models come with the same engines as normal 991s, which include a 3.4-litre flat-six engine developing 350 hp in the Carrera, and a 3.8-litre flat-six engine that produces 400 hp in the Carrera S.

With the Carrera 4 Porsche also introduces a new Adaptive Cruise Control System, and a new rev-matching system for the manual gearbox.
