The freshly-revealed Porsche 911 Carrera S has been confirmed for South Africa. Here’s a pricing and what’s changed for the 992.2 generation.
Following on from the Carrera GTS with its T-Hybrid tech comes the Porsche 911 Carrera S and the good news is it has already been confirmed for our market, with prices starting from R3 037 000. Pricing and plan details can be found at the bottom of this article.
The Carrera S is positioned between the standard 911 Carrera and the aforementioned GTS T-Hybrid and the facelift includes an upgraded powertrain and a longer list of standard equipment. The new Porsche 911 Carrera S is available in coupe and cabriolet derivatives, with all-wheel-drive models following later.
The powertrain and performance is enhanced with the 3.0-litre turbocharged six-cylinder boxer petrol engine now making 353 kW and 530 Nm. That’s an increase of 22 kW, thanks to new turbocharging and optimised cooling systems. As far as performance goes, Porsche says the S coupe is good for a 0-100 kph in just 3.3 seconds and will breach 300 kph. There’s an 8-speed dual-clutch gearbox driving the rear wheels.
Standard Equipment
Porsche claims the Carrera S’ standard loadout has been ‘significantly upgraded’ and the vehicle features 20-inch wheels at the front/21-inch at the rear, sports exhaust system, Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV+), new brake system with red callipers, black leather package, wireless smartphone charger and LED headlights.
Naturally, the options list is extensive, especially if you’re after additional performance and items like ceramic brakes, sports suspension, and rear-wheel steering should be worth forking out for. As a reminder, the folding rear seats are available as a no-cost option. Convenience features worth a second look include the lift system for those pesky speedbumps, HD-Matrix LED headlights and the Sport Chrono package.
