Are all Porsche Carrera4's AWD? I saw one for sale, but listed as RWD. Pics show a Carrera4 badge on the boot. Is the listing incorrect? Sorry... "Carrera 4's" was meant to be plural form of Carrera 4. Does that change your answer? Is the Carrera 4 AWD? It's not a 4S

There are 2 & 4 wheel drives. Carrera 4 & 4S are two seperate models both  AWD (All Wheel Drive). The Carrera & Carrera S are again two seperate models but both 2 wheel drive which also know as RWD ( Rear Wheel Drive).The S does not stand for plural.

Yes, a proper Carrera 4 is AWD. This does not mean that the car you are looking at is correct. Maybe it's just an added badge (poser).

It could be an incorrect listing or someone could have removed the front differential.  Ask the poster of the add which it is.

As said earlier Carrera 4 are 4 wheel drive Carrera 2 are rear wheel drive, standard ( in 997 gen1) is 3.6L, S version is 3.8L whether it is a 4 or a 2. It could be a genuine mistake just ticking the wrong boxes in the ad form but if actually written by the seller, walk away, if they don't know what it is, how on earth can you trust that they know if it has any faults? ( either noted in the advert or not!) if it is their personal car and they are selling it as a C4 but it is in fact only rear wheel drive then they are liars, again, walk away!
