The eighth generation of the Porsche 911 has been launched in India. The 911 Carrera S will cost you Rs 1.82 crore whereas the 911 Carrera S Cabriolet will set you back by 1.99 crore. Both the prices are ex-showroom pan India.

Styling on the new 911 is best described as a subtle evolution of the iconic styling that has been a staple of the 911 range for over 55 years

The new 992 series of 911 replaces the 991 series, which was in production from 2011 to 2018

The hood which extends down past the headlights, where it meets the bumpers in a straight line

At the rear too, the full-length light strip is a modern take on the look of early Porsches

This is the first time the 911 is being offered with a 20/21-inch wheel setup front and rear

The interiors of the new 911 are completely revised, and blend in new tech with heritage touches

There's a new central 10.9-inch touchscreen infotainment and digital driver's instruments

The central tachometer is analogue and uses classic Porsche fonts for the dials

Powering the new 911 is a revised version of the carried forward 3-litre twin-turbocharged petrol, which now produces 30PS more than before, for a total of 450PS and 530Nm torque

Now mated to a new eight-speed dual-clutch automatic (the outgoing generation had a seven-speed)

0-100kmph dash now down to 3.7 seconds for the Carrera S and a top speed of 308kmph for the lighter Carrera S. As always, the optional Sport Chrono package comes with a few goodies to help cut the 0-100kmph acceleration dash further by 0.2 seconds
