Porsche 911 Carrera 4S received a facelift along with the rest of the range in 2001. It brought a few options and a new pair of headlights. It was fitted with more powerful engines.

The 2002 Carrera 4S came on the market to attract even more customers. It was already established as a true sports-car and a great grand-tourer vehicle. Its rear-engine and all-wheel-drive configuration were highly appreciated especially by those who had to drive on slippery surfaces.

From the outside, the front bumper was identical to the one found in the Porsche Turbo. When compared with the non-facelifted version, the main difference was on the headlights. The 2002 model featured a clear lens for the entire lamp, while its predecessor featured a yellow lens for the turn-signals. The difference was even more striking for the vehicles sold in North America. The wider rear end, carried-over from the Turbo version, and the quad exhaust system looked aggressive.

Inside, the main difference was the stereo, which received a digital AM/FM stereo and a CD-player. Other than that, it was the same four-seat sports car built for two adults for long journeys. In the 911 coupes, the rear seatbacks could have been folded down to create a flat cargo floor. It was a good daily driver vehicle and even more relaxing on long journeys.

The drivetrain received a new 3.6-liter engine and it gained 20 hp more than the non-facelifted version. It was fitted with a standard 6-speed manual. The 5-speed automatic (Tiptronic) gearbox with manual override to change gears was on the options list. Due to its all-wheel-drive system, it could cope better with the bad weather than most of the sports-cars from that era.
