We thought motoring perfection was achieved in 2005 with Porsche’s 997 911. Then the 991 came along, and now 992…
Porsche 911 Carrera 4S Cabriolet
Road Test
Nothing is more track focused without being track focused than the Porsche 911 Carrera 4S. Sports cars have historically had the stigma of being much too hard-core and difficult to deal with on a day-to-day basis, but those days are long gone and Porsche has created the ‘unicorn’ of sports cars with the 911 Carrera 4S Cabriolet. Acting like a timid kitten around town with ability to transform into a lion on track, it can put ‘track’ cars twice the price to shame and is unbelievably fast!
Fuel economy
The new base engine, a twin-turbo 2.9-liter V6 that produces 325 hp and 331 lb-ft of torque at only 1,800 rpm, powers the Panamera and Panamera 4 models, as well as the Executive and Sport Turismo version of the same cars. The EPA fuel economy hasn’t been released for these 2021 Porsche Panamera models, but we expect it to be in the neighborhood of 19 miles per gallon in the city and 26 mpg on the highway, with AWD likely dropping those figures a small amount. The Porsche Panamera Porsche
Powered by a 449-hp version of the 2.9 with 405 lb-ft of torque, the 2021 Porsche Panamera 4S has expected EPA numbers of 18 mpg city/25 mpg highway, while the Panamera GTS (with its twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 making 473 hp and 457 b-ft of torque), likely will come in at about 16 mpg city/23 mpg highway. The new 620-hp/604 lb-ft Porsche Panamera Turbo S, using last year’s Panamera Turbo as a guideline, should return about 18 mpg city/24 mpg highway.
