Porsche’s latest 911 model launched in India at Rs 2.66 crore

Porsche has launched the latest version of its 911 model in India, and the car would be priced between Rs 1.42 crore and Rs 2.66 crore (ex-showroom Delhi). The German luxury sports car maker is planning to expand its presence in India, for which it plans to add two more showrooms at Chennai and Hyderabad, in addition to the six existing outlets in the country in Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Ahmedabad, Kolkata and Kochi.

"Last year, we sold 408 units in India. We occupy a niche space in the luxury sports car market here and are looking for a steady growth in the country," Porsche India Director, Pawan Shetty said.

He added that with the new 911 model, sports car enthusiasts will get performance and convenience of everyday use.

"This is the 8th generation of the 911 model and is 12% more fuel efficient over the previous generations," Shetty said.

Shetty went on to share his views on the ban on diesel cars and SUVs with engines of 2,000 cc and above, saying that the company will not get impacted since the model runs only on petrol.
