Default What was the first year of the 4S?

Was the Carrera 4S and C2S made in 1995? I have seen one that was advertised as a 1995 Carrera 4S I thought they were started in 1996???? Any help would be appreciated.

Front spoiler chin and TT tail dont match. No rockers, no wide body, no red brake calipers and prob hydraulic assist brakes. Alot else is probably missing- eg suspension.

I agree, just look at the size of the tail in relation to the rear fenders. Also, the rear bumber cover is for a narrow body car.

Ditto on C4S/914-6's comments. We should call the guy and grill him on what the car really is.

Guys,

The car in question is a 1995 ("S" program) narrow body Carrera 4 modified to look like something else.

R = 1994
S = 1995
T = 1996
V = 1997
W = 1998

This is one of the digits in your VIN.

The fact that he is trying to mislead people, I would also wonder if it's a 4WD at all!


I would advise buyers to call PCC 800-PORSCHE with the VIN , they were able to tell me the factory options and if the p-car, I now own, a C4S.
