The latest 992.2-generation Porsche 911 Carrera features twin-turbochargers derived from the previous generation GTS, a revamped interior and exterior design, and enhanced digital elements.
Timed perfectly with Valentine’s Day, Porsche Singapore transformed Helutrans Gallery at Tanjong Pagar Distripark into an intimate, passion-fuelled space for over 200 guests, celebrating the Porsche 911.
Stepping into the venue, guests were greeted with shades of passionate red. One of the highlights of the night was “The Red Thread: Past, Present, Future”, a commissioned artwork by Red Hong Yi, featuring the iconic 911 flyline across 60 shades of red.
Guests also had the chance to design and print their own 911-themed posters, a fitting keepsake from the evening. For those feeling poetic, local literary talents were on hand to craft custom-written poems.
But the true star of the night was the unveiling of the new, comprehensively updated 911 Carrera.
The 992.2-generation Porsche 911 Carrera takes everything we love about the 911 and refines it further. Powering this latest iteration is a 3.0-litre twin-turbo flat-six engine, now incorporating a charge-air cooler from the 911 Turbo and turbochargers from the previous GTS models.
394PS and 450 Nm of torque allow the 911 Carrera Coupé to sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.1 seconds (or 3.9 seconds with the Sport Chrono package).
Even though the exterior facade remains largely unchanged, this latest version continues that tradition with subtle yet purposeful refinements.
New Matrix LED headlights with a distinctive four-point design now integrate all turn functions, eliminating the need for additional front lights. This makes way for larger cooling vents, enhancing efficiency.
For those who crave a sportier aesthetic, Porsche offers an optional Aerokit, which includes a Sport Design front apron, matching side skirts, and a lightweight fixed rear wing.
At the rear, a redesigned light strip with integrated ‘PORSCHE’ lettering gives the car a broader, more planted stance, while a reworked rear grille integrates with the window and retractable spoiler.
For the first time, the 911 now comes with a fully digital instrument cluster, a 12.6-inch curved display, customisable with up to seven different viewing modes, including a Classic display that pays homage to the traditional five-gauge layout.
Meanwhile, the Porsche Communication Management (PCM) system is still controlled via a 10.9-inch central touchscreen, now featuring wireless smartphone charging, a seamless Porsche ID login via QR code, and deep Apple CarPlay integration. There’s even video streaming while parked.
Of course, driver-centric details remain a priority. The new mode switch is now standard, and for the first time in a 911, there’s a new start button, positioned on the left of the steering wheel. Goodbye, iconic 911 twist key.
For those already itching to get behind the wheel, the new 911 Carrera is now available for order in Singapore, with prices starting at SGD 569,268 (excluding COE).
The 911 Carrera Touring (T) starts from SGD 620,488, while the more potent 911 Carrera S, featuring a 353 kW (480 PS) twin-turbo flat-six, is priced from SGD 682,988.
All three variants come with premium standard equipment, including speed-sensitive power steering, 14-way electrically adjustable seats with a memory package, keyless entry, and a BOSE Surround Sound system.
The new 911 Carrera will be on display at Porsche Studio Singapore from 14 February 2025, where interested customers can schedule a test drive and experience the legend firsthand.
