Same happens with the rear view using the official Porsche images. They change the perspective so it looks much more wider than what actually is (see side mirrors)

It is clearly at different perspective, dashboard and rear seat views also different. But the flares after the end of taillights can give us some idea to see the differences

Silver car is not a 2S....base Carrera

4 & 4S share the same body

Just another comparison using Official Porsche images, this time the perspective is almost the same

Seeing you drive on the track this is absolutely a true statement.

I think your assessment of the gravel is spot on. On the track coming out of a turn past the apex you should be in a straight line and now transfer of power should be needed.

Have to admit the rear of the C4S is just great.

2CS is friskier. It will wag the tail when step on it.... 4SC is just goes and hugs the road. I can understand why the Turbo is always 4 wheel drive... Too much power.

Absolutely. My current car is RWD with the engine on the front (SLK 250) and it's fun to drive it, not so fun on wet if you are not careful :P
