2025 Porsche 911 facelift in Malaysia – Carrera from RM1.43 million, Carrera 4 GTS from RM1.89 million

Announced for the Malaysian market last week, the facelifted 992-generation Porsche 911 has now landed in Malaysia with the base 911 Carrera shown at the Porsche Malaysia 15th anniversary showcase at The Exchange TRX in Kuala Lumpur.

As the starting point to the facelifted 911 range, the Carrera is priced from RM1.43 million and is powered by the manufacturer’s 3.0 litre twin-turbo boxer six-cylinder engine that now outputs 394 PS and 450 Nm, up from 385 PS from the pre-facelift 992. The uprated outputs come courtesy of an intercooler from the 911 Turbo, and turbochargers from the pre-facelift Carrera GTS.

These outputs are channeled to the rear wheels through an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, and so propel the 911 Carrera from 0-100 km/h in 3.9 seconds and to a top speed of 294 km/h.

Within the options list for the facelifted 992-generation 911 is a new headlamp specification with the HD matrix LED function that brings more than 32,000 light points, packing a high beam that illuminates the road for a distance of over 600 m, in addition to added functions depending on situation. At the rear, the tail light strip is redesigned while the license plate is repositioned higher on the bumper.

Inside, the facelifted 911 shifts to a fully digital 12.6-inch instrument cluster, now configurable in seven layouts including the classic five-tube layout with central tachometer of traditional Porsche instrumentation packs.

The 992-generation 911 Carrera range facelift also marks the departure of the twist-key starter, which is now replaced by a now-commonplace starter button as on most other Porsche models. Infotainment is handled by a 10.9-inch unit, now with deeper integration of Apple CarPlay, says Porsche, and apps like Spotify and Apple Music can be used natively without a connected smartphone.

Bringing an even more potent powertrain to the 911 facelift line-up in Malaysia is the Carrera 4 GTS priced from RM1.89 million, with the new 3.6 litre boxer six-cylinder engine with T-Hybrid electrification on its driveline as well as turbocharger to bring combined outputs of 540 PS and 610 Nm, enabling a 0-100 km/h sprint in 3.0 seconds onwards to a 312 km/h top speed.

This setup uses a single turbocharger setup replacing the twin turbos of the pre-facelift GTS, and and electric motor located between the compressor and turbine wheels of the turbocharger works to improve throttle response and performance.

This electrically-driven turbo means that a wastegate is no longer required in this application, and the electric motor in the turbocharger doubles as a generator, developing up to 11 kW using the exhaust gas stream, similar in a way to the MGU-H system in a modern top-level race car powertrain.

Joining the electric turbocharger is a 54 PS/150 Nm motor situated within the eight-speed PDK dual-clutch automatic transmission, and both motors draw from a 400V, 1.9 kWh (gross capacity) battery located in the front of the car. All in, this brings combined outputs of 540 PS and 610 Nm to enable a 0-100 km/h sprint in 3.0 seconds onwards to a 312 km/h top speed.

In terms of chassis, the Carrera 4 GTS brings rear-wheel steering as standard, and is specified with 10 mm-lowered sports suspension and PASM variable damping. Wheels for the Carrera 4 GTS are 20-inch front and 21-inch rear alloys, shod in tyres measuring 245/35ZR20 in front and 315/30ZR21 at the rear.

In Malaysia, the facelifted Porsche 911 Carrera is offered in the Coupé bodystyle from RM1.43 million, while the Carrera 4 GTS is offered in Coupé and Targa bodystyles, from RM1.89 million.
