In November at last year's LA Auto Show, Porsche took the wraps off the performance trims of its 2020 911 portfolio; on Tuesday and not a moment too soon, the company followed up with the entry variants.
While the Carrera S is powered by a twin-turbocharged, flat-six boxer engine producing 443hp and accelerating the vehicle up to 100kph from a standstill in 3.6 seconds, the entry model's identical twin-turbocharged, flat-six boxer only puts out 379hp and takes 4 seconds to sprint to 100kph from 0..
Even though the drop-top version of the lowest tier option is equipped with the same engine putting out the same power as its roofed counterpart, it takes 2 extra seconds to sprint to 100kph; top speed is also 3.2kph slower than the standard Carrera which measures in at 290kph.
To upgrade to a model whose top speed clocks in at 307kph, the starting price increases by nearly US$16,000 (RM66,000) despite everything else about the model being nearly identical.
The 2020 911 Carrera has a starting price of US$97,400 (RM403,000) whereas the Cabriolet trim starts at US$110,200 (RM455,000). Both will be available for purchase starting next year.
