2020 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S

This 992-generation Carrera 4S pairs Porsche's 443.7 bhp twin-turbocharged 3.0-litre flat-six with all-wheel drive, and this one has been specified with real intent. Finished in Jet Black Metallic over black leather, it carries more than £25,000 of options. The headline items are rear-axle steering (£1,592) and the SportDesign Package (£2,853). Those sit alongside PASM sports suspension that lowers the car by 10 mm, the Sport Chrono Package, a sports exhaust with black tailpipes and a front axle lift system.

The cabin is as carefully ordered as the chassis. It has 18-way adaptive sports seats with memory and ventilation, a heated GT sports steering wheel, Race-Tex roof lining and sun visors, and a BOSE surround sound system. Matrix LED headlights, ParkAssist with surround view and adaptive cruise control cover the everyday-usability side. The 20/21-inch Carrera Classic wheels, black-painted callipers and full paint protection film complete a sensibly dark, cohesive look.

The car is UK supplied, has covered 11,000 miles and has had one owner from new. That mileage is modest for a 2020 car. The Carrera 4S remains the 992 range's sweet spot: quick enough at 3.6 seconds to 62 mph, with extra traction and stability over the rear-drive cars, and still comfortable enough to use daily.
