PORSCHE has launched the 911-type Carrera 4 and 4S all-wheel drive coupes in India. A 3.8-litre six-cylinder engine, which generates a maximum of 325 bhp, powers the Carrera 4S from 0-100 kmph in 4.8 seconds. The Carrera 4S achieves a mind boggling top speed of 280 kmph. A smaller 3.6-litre engine is at the heart of the Carrera 4. The all-wheel drive system gives the cars greater stability.

Porsche's Active Suspension System (PASM) and Porsche Stability Management System are standard features. An optional Sports Chrono Plus package, which gives the cars a lower ground clearance, by 20 mm, is also available. The Carrera 4 and 4S are priced at $165,390 (Rs 74.42 lakh) and $184,760 (Rs 83.1 lakh) respectively. Porsche plans to expand its offerings by introducing its coupé Cayman S by the end-November and Panamera four-door sports coupé in 2009.
