Carrera 4 and 4S wider body differences?
I was checking out the new 4 and 4S at the porsche site and I'm a bit confused. according to them as per quote below there will be what 3 rear sizes??? 1 for normal coupe and S , wider for the C4 and even wider for the C4S???
I'm I missing something here?

A striking feature of these new 911 models: they are 1¾ inches (44 mm) wider over the rear fenders. The rear wheels of the Carrera 4 can therefore be fitted with 295/35 ZR 18 tires, and the Carrera 4S with 305/30 ZR 19 tires

whats confusing is that with the 996s, the only widebodys were the 4S and the Turbos /GT2.
in the 997 generation, the widebodys are the C4 and C4S. and they say the turbo will be even wider!
hope that clears things up

Carrera and S has a smaller butt than the C4. That is pretty clear and yes you are right..it is confusing breaking the tradition!
The begging question is:
The C4 has a smaller or equal butt to the C4S? And if they have the same butt why 2 different tire sizes?

I cannot tell the difference of a wider rear between the 997/2 and 997/4. That's a good thing for me, as I have the 997s. They both look very similiar. whereas you could immediately tell the difference between the 996/4 and 996/2
