Video: Why You Need A Porsche 911 Carrera 4 To Combat Crap Weather

This week, we've driven the Porsche Boxster S and Cayman R on different terrains, surfaces and in different countries, and found both to be truly epic vehicles.

But which of your £50,000+ cars do you whip out of the garage when the weather is a little more mischievous? While the Boxster S and Cayman are on point to drive in dry conditions, they are ultimately rear-wheel-drive machines. And this is where the latest Porsche 911 Carrera 4 steps into the fray.

With its 3.8-litre engine cranking out 400 horsepower, this is a car which would be tricky at best to drive in icy conditions. However, as you might have guessed from the name, this is an all-wheel-drive beauty capable of instantly calculating where traction is needed and sending power from the rear to the front axle to compensate.

Off the line you'll be able to crack the 62mph sprint in 4.5 seconds (4.3 if you opt for PDK), but to really see how this thing can fly through corners and for most techy chat, watch the video below:
