Porsche Carrera 4S




When this 991 Porsche Carrera 4S arrived at Grafico it was far from plain however the owner wanted to bring it back to life with a new wrap and some colourful stripes. The vehicle's basic parts/trim were meticulously dismantled by Zagame Autobody to ensure all parts that were removed were re-fitted to factory standard. Many do not understand that the difference with Grafico-Auto Disegno and other vehicle wrap companies is that all parts and trim that are required to be removed for a full wrap are always performed by qualified vehicle part removal specialists. Unfortunately some in the industry persist with 'having a crack' at removing important parts from high-end vehicles and 'learn as they go'. At Grafico we have a specialist network that we rely on to carefully remove parts/trim and refit to factory standards. Each specialist is chosen depending on the vehicle type. Following a strip down of basic parts/trim the entire body was wrapped in a stunning matte metallic charcoal grey vinyl wrap. The wheels (originally grey) were then painted by our wheel painting specialists to a high-gloss factory finish black. Contrasted with gloss yellow brake calipers.





Porsche celebrated the 250,000th 911 built in 1988 with a Commemorative Edition, which featured Diamond Blue Metallic paint with matching wheels and a silver-blue interior. A Club Sport option also came out for the coupes, which stripped the cars of many creature comforts, while adding upgraded suspension components, front and rear spoilers, sport seats, and a slightly revised engine. Only a handful were made. Porsche also marked the model's silver birthday with a 25th Anniversary Special Edition in 1989 that was limited to just 500 examples -- 300 coupes and 200 Cabriolets. The cars were available in either Satin Black Metallic or Silver Metallic paint. Porsche reimagined the venerable 911 further for 1989, and the look that had carried it for a decade got a smoothing over, in addition to a higher degree of technical sophistication. But not before the mid-1980s Carrera had played its evolutionary part in the 911 story.





Please take into account that the Porsche 0 to 60 times and Quarter mile data listed on this car performance page is gathered from numerous credible sources. There are a great deal of factors that affect the Porsche cars 0-60 stats, so different sources may test the same vehicle and each may arrive at a unique 0-60 mph and quarter mile result.

We saw it testing a few months ago, but now it鈥檚 here to race. Meet the 718 Cayman GT4 Clubsport, Porsche鈥檚 newest entry-level race car. Porsche will offer two versions of the 718 Cayman GT4 Clubsport鈥攁 Competition version for professional racing and a Trackday version for, as the name suggests, track days. When the Cayman became the 718 Cayman a few years ago, its naturally aspirated flat-six was controversially dropped in favor of a turbocharged flat-four. For both versions of the GT4 Clubsport, the flat-six makes a return, though it鈥檚 not the new 4.0-liter used in Porsche鈥檚 911 race cars. Instead, it鈥檚 the same 3.8-liter six as the previous GT4, but it benefits from a new intake manifold that bumps power from 380 hp to 425 hp. That power is sent to the rear wheels via a six-speed PDK dual-clutch gearbox. The McPherson strut front suspension comes off the 911 GT3 Cup and features three-way adjustable sway bars. Rear suspension also consists of McPherson struts, though a blade-type adjustable anti-roll bar is used instead.
