2012 Porsche 911 Carrera unveiled

So you have seen the leaked images of the 2012 Porsche 911 Carrera. Who hasn't, really? Seems like Porsche just decided to go ahead and unveil the car instead of waiting for the Frankfurt Motor Show next month.

The first batch of official photos and information on the 2012 Carrera emphasise the changes. On the exterior, the car is nearly four inches longer in wheelbase but also lower than the outgoing model. The wing mirrors have now moved from the bottom front corder of the window to the top of the door.

The interior seems more Carrera GT-ish with the center console rising up to envelope the driver.

Many more variants of the 911 will follow, of course, as it always happens with Porsche. But the first release will be a Carrera and Carrera S with a 3.4 litre and 3.8 litre, respectively.

Porsche also promises better fuel economy and emission figures with a new sever-speed manual transmission.

The bookings for the cars have already started at Rs 41.15 lakh for the Carrera and Rs 49.22 lakh for the Carrera S. Deliveries will begin in the first quarter of 2012.
