Porsche has launched the updated version of 911 sports car range in India with prices starting at Rs 1.42 crore (ex-showroom, Delhi) for the 911 Carrera going up to Rs 2.81 cores for the top-range Turbo S Cabriolet. The 911 model range includes - 911 Carrera Cabriolet, 911 Carrera S, 911 Turbo, and the 911 Turbo S Cabriolet, all of which now features a sharper design language while the powertrain has been re-tuned to offer more power and performance on the sports car. 

The updated Carrera models are powered by a new 2,981cc, twin-turbocharged flat-six-cylinder engine, which is more fuel-efficient and produces less emissions than the predecessor. The new engine produces 370hp of power and 450Nm of torque on the Carrera, but is tuned to make 420hp of power and 500Nm of torque on the more powerful Carrera S. Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.

The Turbo range carries over the previous car’s 3,800cc turbocharged flat-six-cylinder engine, which has been fine-tuned to make more power and torque. It produces 540hp of power and 660Nm of torque on the standard 911 Turbo and 580hp and 700Nm on the Turbo S.

Besides the mechanical changes, the car have received cosmetic update as well. There are sharper-looking bumpers at the front, and you can opt for full-LED headlamps too.  While at the rear, there's a new three-dimensional tail-lamp cluster that features the signature four-dot design, a new engine cover, and the rear tyres are wider by an inch. The facelift applies to all the 911 models except for the GT3, GT3 RS and R.

The interiors are equipped with a new touchscreen infotainment system and offer the option of a sports steering wheel from the 918 Spyder hybrid supercar.
