997 do they do a 4S
Discussion
Hi, i am selling (or trading) my carrera 4 996 for a 997, bit confused as seen advertised a 4s ? Are these wide bodied as did not look wider ? also only seen 1 carrera 4 in 997 model? Are the 4 wheel drive ones more desireable than 2 wheel drive ? i brought my 4 because it was first one & bit worried about them be a bit tail happy, but think now will go for 2 wheel drive but like wide bodied look ? I have budget of £10k & should get £10k for my car so about £20k total.

Yes, the 997 came in a 4S version as well as 4. Both are "wide-bodied" compared to the 2/2S. I think its 22mm extra at the rear.
The 4wd is very different from the one in the 996.
You loose some luggage space vs the 2/2S.
On my 996 you can see the diffrence in 4s & normal 4, so the 997 is not as noticable ? are the 4 more expensive to buy?The 4wd is very different from the one in the 996.

I've actually just put a deposit down for one.
Quite rare as they were £5k more than Carerra 2S. They're actually 44mm wider, not 22mm. It is the same body as the Turbo.
Here's a review of the Gen 1 version:

Don't mean to burst your bubble but can you really get a decent 997 for £20K? Having recently bought a 996C4S for the same budget the only 997's I saw for sale at that price were CAT C/D, had some sort of "Minor" engine issue or had more miles on them than the Millennium Falcon.
Tread carefully!

good luck with your new car, so jel... is the 997 called a C4S & that will mean 4 wheel drive & wide body? Are all 4 wheel drives wide body? I dont really need 4 wheel drive, but just love the look? they dont do 2s in wide body then?Quite rare as they were £5k more than Carerra 2S. They're actually 44mm wider, not 22mm.

Perhaps. But a GTS for £20K
I maintain that most of us would find it difficult to tell the difference between a 4WD and 2WD 911. And even more of us would be glad of the 4WD when needed. Nobody wants to put their 911 through a hedge.
Why would you put a 2WD 997 through a hedge? Whats wrong with them?I maintain that most of us would find it difficult to tell the difference between a 4WD and 2WD 911. And even more of us would be glad of the 4WD when needed. Nobody wants to put their 911 through a hedge.
OP, this issue of total 911 (issue 111) has a good c4 section. I can't recall if it had 4s though....given my copy away, soz.
