Porsche Centre Bahrain, Behbehani Brothers unveiled the new Porsche 911 Carrera 4 at a recent Open Day event to customers and enthusiasts.
Its makers say the new generation of the 911 Carrera unites excellent performance and efficiency with the dynamic benefits of the latest version of the active all-wheel drive system Porsche Traction Management (PTM).
The all-wheel drive 911 is being launched in Bahrain in four versions – as the 911 Carrera 4 and 911 Carrera 4S, and each as Coupé and Cabriolet. Sporting the same traits as the rear-wheel drive versions, such as the lightweight body design, the all-wheel drive models consume significantly less fuel than their predecessors, despite a higher level of engine and driving performance. Total savings for individual versions are as much as 16 per cent.
Morgan Sunderland, brand manager at Porsche Centre Bahrain, said: “We are excited to be introducing the latest premium offering from Porsche. The 911 Carrera 4 is setting new benchmarks for Intelligent Performance – it’s more powerful and agile, yet lighter and more economical. The Carrera 4 takes top efficiency and performance to an even higher level whilst at the same time offering excellent traction and driving stability even during extreme driving manoeuvres in the high-speed range.”
All new models have a 7-speed manual gearbox as standard, and the Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) gearbox is available as an option. The 911 Carrera 4 Coupé with 350hp can sprint from zero to 100km/h in as little as 4.5 seconds (Cabriolet: 4.7s) and reach a top speed of up to 285km/h (Cabriolet: 282km/h), depending on equipment features. The Coupé and Cabriolet of the 911 Carrera 4 S each have a 3.8-litre rear-mounted boxer engine that produces 400hp; this enables acceleration to 100km/h in 4.1s (Cabriolet: 4.3s) and a top speed of 299km/h (Cabriolet: 296km/h) with a suitable equipment configuration.
The basic retail price for the new Porsche 911 Carrera with all-wheel drive is as follows: 4 Coupé: BD38,100, 4 Cabriolet: BD41,900, 4 S Coupé: BD44,700 and 4 S Cabriolet: BD48,600.
