Have there been any ‘official’ reviews of the 4S by trade publications?

In my defence, I posted the video as he drove it up to 150 mph and said the driving dynamics were good, which is what the OP originally asked about.

Wivenhoe, I appreciate you posting it, and certainly didn't mean to be directing friendly fire your way. Apologies. And, I did like seeing him drive it fast!

I've only driven my 4 with 20 inchers, so I have no basis for comparison with the 4S or turbo. However, that Autocar review was comparing a Turbo with air suspension and rear wheel steering to a 4 with neither. In the US they all come with air suspension. Other than wheel diameter/tires and I suppose weight or weight distribution, (or PTV) I am not aware of any reason for the two motor versions to ride or handle differently from each other. For what it's worth I feel that my Macan 4 with rear wheel steering has as good a ride/handling compromise as you can expect from a tallish 5000 pound car.

The M4EV in the test had PASM (an option) I think in conjunction with steel struts rather than air. Air comes with PASM as standard. So there are a couple of permutations to work through not to mention rubber and rim size.

Suspect Porsche will address these apparent issues as this isn't normal.

It’s a 4S. But her review is generic. Lost opportunity.

Evidently, the car restricts output when charge is below a certain level. That was what my SA told me, anyway. My test drive was very brief, so I really wasn’t in a position to push the car hard anyway.
