In the 997, the Carrera has the narrowest body. The CS and C4 have the same body, and the C4S is wider still. Not sure where the turbo and GTs fit into the mix.

The ironic thing to me is that in the day, the 928 was considered a Luxurious GT but if you jump directly from a 928 to a 997 (with sport chrono plus I might add), the 928 (at least the 5-speed stick S4 version) feels more raw and connected. The 991 is supposed to be even more numbed from the articles coming out now in Car&Driver and Road&Track. It's too bad, but it's what the market demands if Porsche is to sell more and more 911s every year. Instead of replacing the 911 with the 928, as was the plan, the 911 has just become the 928.
