4s vs 4
In the market for a 2018-2021 Panamera for the wife. Aside from the hp difference what are the other main differences between the 4 and 4s? She doesn't care about the hp difference, I don't think she has ever put her Macan S in sport mode when she is driving, but wondering if there are any other big differences, or issues between the two.

Per Wikipedia, the 4 had the old Audi/VW 3.0 single turbo until 2020 while the 4S had the newer 2.9 twin turbo. The 4S is a much smoother power plant and less ancillary noises coming from engine bay.

My wife rocks an 18 3.0 Sport Turismo and loves it as is. I’d take more power but I’m looking into a programmer for that. Should make us both happy that way. The PDK is what makes the car fun. The look on people’s faces when you launch it at 4K on the two step is the best!
