The completely new exterior design emphasises the leap in performance for the 911 type 992, the flush integration of the electrical pop-out handles in the doors further emphasises the tapered and smooth side contour. Between the new LED headlights, a bonnet with a pronounced recess evokes the design of the first generation 911.

The rear is dominated by the significantly wider, variable-position rear spoiler and the seamless, elegant light bar. Apart from the front and rear sections, the entire outer skin is now made from aluminium.

With the demands of the digital world, the new 911 interior is fitted with countless intelligent controls. Alongside the central rev counter, you get two thin, frameless freeform displays supplying information to the driver.

The centre screen of the Porsche Communication Management (PCM) system is now 10.9 inches, and can be operated quickly without distraction thanks to its new architecture. A series of compact switches under the screen provides direct access to the vehicle’s important functions.

A new assistance system, Porsche Wet mode makes driving on wet roads even safer. Other features like electric folding exterior mirrors, reversing camera and Porsche Entry & Drive come as standard in Singapore.

The two models available from launch are the 911 Carrera S and Carrera 4S. They are powered by next generation flat-six turbocharged engines mated to a newly developed eight-speed dual-clutch transmission.

The latest development of the engine corresponds to an increase of 30 more horsepower. Both the new cars share the same power output, producing 331kw (444 horsepower).

The rear-wheel drive, 911 Carrera S Coupé hits 100km/h in 3.7 seconds, while the 911 Carrera 4S fitted with an all-wheel-drive system, does this in 3.6 seconds. Car for car, both of them are quicker than their predecessors by 0.4 seconds. The Carrera S maxes out at 308km/h while its four-wheel-drive sibling at 306km/h.

The Carrera S and Carrera 4S, according to Porsche Centre Singapore will be ready for sale upon local homologation. I wonder if that means Christmas!
