Porsche has announced the introduction of the eighth-gen 911 Carrera Coupe and 911 Carrera Cabriolet. The new Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe and Cabriolet now join the Carrera S and the Carrera 4S range which were introduced last year at the LA Auto Show, followed by an India launch in April this year. The Carrera is the entry-level model in the Porsche 911 range, and visually, the 2019 Porsche 911 Carrera is distinguished by smaller sized wheels, brakes and tailpipe covers on the exhaust system.
