2025 Porsche 911 Carrera and Carrera 4 GTS launched at Rs 1.99 crore
Just yesterday Porsche debuted the first-ever 911 with a hybrid powertrain and the brand has now officially started accepting bookings for the new 911 Carrera and 911 Carrera 4 GTS models. The hybridisation is part of the seventh-generation 911's mid-cycle makeover, which also includes a new 3.6-litre flat-six engine.

Porsche 911 Carrera and Carrera 4 GTS: Powertrain and Mechanics
The Carrera GTS has a new 3.6-liter flat-six engine instead of the original 3.0-liter unit (which will remain in other 911 versions). On its own, this engine produces 485PS and 570Nm of torque. The hybrid technology allows Porsche to replace the dual turbo arrangement with a single electric turbocharger. The 8-speed PDK dual-clutch gearbox now includes an electric motor. The new drivetrain now produces a total of 541PS and 610Nm of torque, allowing the car to complete the 0 to 100kmph race in 3 seconds flat.
The standard 911 Carrera will continue utilising the 3-litre twin-turbocharged flat-six that has been around for a while now.
The GTS versions will also receive a slew of handling enhancements to help them handle their greater power. The use of rear-axle steering has been added, and the company's Dynamic Chassis Control has been integrated with the car's high-voltage system, allowing it to use an electro-hydraulic control system, which Porsche claims allows for more precise and flexible control over the anti-roll stabilisation system.
Porsche 911 Carrera and Carrera 4 GTS: Exterior and Interior
On the outside, the car gets a few upgrades but the overall silhouette has been left untouched. The 911 in this generation has a new headlamp cluster and, as with other facelifts, new bumpers. The rear end may look more aggressive due to the revised continuous LED taillights, which are deeper and broader. Customers may also choose HD matrix LED lights, which are touted to illuminate the road for more than 600 metres.
Inside, the Porsche 911 has a completely digital 12.6-inch curved display with up to seven perspectives, including a unique 'Classic' display inspired by the historic five-tube Porsche dial design with a central tachometer. This new display is accompanied by a new driver assistance lever and engine starter button. The 911's centre console storage box now features an inductive smartphone charging within a cooled compartment.
