What is the difference between the Porsche Carrera trims?

I was looking at the Porsche website and noticed all the different Carrera trims...Carrera, Carrera S, Carrera 4, and Carrera 4S. Is the only difference between them the power (horsepower, 0-60 time, etc) or are there other differences like more luxurious/technical feautures or the body styling? Note: I call them trims but they may technically be different cars...all Carreras though.|||Porsche 911 carrera 2 - standard porsche 911 (2WD)


Porsche 911 carrera 2S - standard porsche 911 trim, slightly more power %26amp; a few sport knobs inside.


Porsche 911 carrera 4 - again, standard porsche 911 (4WD) Also better alloys than c2.


Porsche 911 carrera 4S - same as the porsche 911 c4 but more power and sport buttons.


Porsche 911 carrera 4 targa - same as the Porsche 911 c4 but with a targa roof (big sunroof)


Porsche 911 carrera 4S targa - sames as the Porsche 911 c4S but with a targa roof (big sunroof)





(ALL THE ABOVE EXCLUDING TARGA MODELS ARE ALSO AVAILABLE IN CABRIOLET FORM)








Porsche 911 Turbo - A 4WD 911 with twin turbos and big turbo wheels as standard %26amp; sport buttons.


Porsche 911turbo Cab - same as 911 turbo but with a soft top and an optional hardtop roof.


Porsche 911 GT3 - A 2WD porsche c2 with a 3.8l engine (instead of 3.6l), striped out in manual format, no cabriolet option, different wheels, car revs higher than standard 911 too.


Porsche 911 GT3rs - An even more lightweight extreme GT3 - a track car really.


Porsche 911 GT2 - A lightweight porsche 911 turbo. Car comes standard with the carbon ceramic brakes option as the GT2 is so fast.|||There is a significant differece if you look from the rear. But the front view is almost same. They are not technically different. (only the turbo version is technically different)





The space, body colours, technical features, interior,


instrumentation, interior materials, features are almost same.


You will find differences like, Rear view, engine capacity, fuel


efficiency, acceleration (tome to reach 0 - 100 kmph), Rear spiler, etc....





I suggest you to visit the showroom. Its very difficult to surf the


internet and imagine what you going to buy.





Porsche offers only few interior colors and many differences in accesories like.....Wheel rims, tail pipes etc...If you visit there, you can decide quickly and also imagine the thing that you re going to buy





Good luck.|||Carrera -- base model, 2WD


Carrera S -- same body as base model but more powerful engine, 2WD


Carrera 4 -- slightly different body (nose and tail) and 4WD


Carrera 4S -- same as Carrera 4 but with the more powerful "S" engine option


Turbo -- turbo engine and different/wider body with side intakes near the rear wheels





Any of these can be ordered as a cabriolet (convertible) with either removable hard top or soft (fabric) top.





Also, of these can be ordered with a huge number of options. Look at kbb.com or edmunds.com ("price with options" feature); you can see all of the ways Porsche entices you to spend your money.





The GT3 is a stripped down, normally-aspirated version of the Carrera, which is a great track-day car or launching pad for a race car. Only available as coupe.





The GT2 is a maxed-out turbo--current version is 600+ HP. Only available as coupe.





Hope this helps.
