The more things change, the more they stay the same is a saying that can be applied to the iconic Porsche 911 – a car whose overall design hasn’t changed much since 1963. Porsche India has just launched the 8th generation 911 in India.

The Porsche 911 Carrera S is priced at Rs 1.82 crore ex-showroom and the convertible variant, the Porsche 911 Carrera S Cabriolet is priced at Rs 1.99 lakh ex-showroom.

You have to be a die-hard Porsche fan to be able to spot the changes. Heck, it’s like playing spot the difference. So what’s new with the 2019 Porsche 911?

The design looks like a modern iteration of the original Porsche. The tail-lamp stretches across the rear like the original design. The front is more squared off and the car sits wider and flatter.

The rear-engine, rear-wheel drive Porsche 911 comes with a 3-litre, six-cylinder twin-turbo petrol motor that puts out 450 PS of power and 530 Nm of torque. This is mated to an 8-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.

Porsche claims the 911 can do 0-100 kmph in about 3.7 seconds and can hit a top speed of 308 Kmph. The Porsche 911 will compete with the Audi R8, Lamborghini Huracan and Nissan GT-R primarily.
