Thumbs up Side by side comparison of the C2 vs C4

Side by side comparison of the C2 vs C4 ....... the rear arches are higher the difference is pretty noticeable ... look at the rear end in relationship to the rear view mirror

The C4S does look wider, but I think the C2S looks wide enough. It doesn't make me say "wow" or anything, not like the way the 996 C4S did.

can't tell the difference either... i think the C4S looks taller... and the silver colour makes it wider... lighter color cars always looks bigger than dark color cars... if that C4S was black then there will be absolutly no difference if the same pictures were taken... garranteed!

black always hides lines and size... I wish both were silver...then we would really see a difference....IMO

Thanks for the pics - the silver car sure is wide but the "s" is more than enough

Is the rear wiper an option? The S has no wiper where the 4S does.

The 996 C4S was easier to spot - it was 60 mm wider ( vs 44mm now ) and had , along with the Turbo, taller and wider rear light clusters . Porsche has gone cheap and will use the same " small " rear lights on all body widths in the 997 series .

I dig the wide ****, but don't like the feel of the driven front wheels. I was hoping (in vain) that they may build a widebody C2S.
