2016 Porsche 911 range to launch in India on June 29

The new 2016 Porsche 911 range will officially be launched in the Indian market on June 29. The aforementioned date has been confirmed after Porsche India started sending media invites for the awaited launch event. The new 911 models that will be introduced into the Indian market will include 911 Carrera Cabriolet, 911 Carrera S, 911 Turbo, and the 911 Turbo S Cabriolet. Similar to the outgoing models, the new 911 range of cars will come into India through the CBU route.

The new range of Porsche 911 doesn’t get any significant cosmetic changes. But minor tweaks have been added, like a new pair of headlamps with projectors and DRLs, and new bumpers with larger air intakes.On the inside, the new 911 series will come with a new GT sport steering wheel. The sport seats come with leather upholstery across the range. Equipment on offer include Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC) with roll compensation, Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM), and Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes (PCCB).

Engine options on offer across the new 911 range will include a 3.8-litre flat six mill that is boosted by twin-turbochargers. This is the first time that the German automaker has ditched naturally aspirated engines from the Carrera lineup, and gone for forced-induction. Porsche's PDK dual-clutch automatic transmission will be mated to each of these cars. But the power outputs would be different for each model.
