For the 2009 model year, Porsche has some significant upgrades in store for its already impressive 911 models. These upgrades apply to the 2009 Carrera, Carrera S and their C4 and Targa variants. The base 3.6L base motor will receive a 20 horsepower boost, putting the rating at 345 horses while the Carrera/Targa S models’ 3.8L power plant will see a healthy jump to 385 horsepower. Both engines also receive a significant increase in the torque department. In addition to the power increases, both motors are expected to have increased fuel economy and lowered emissions levels.

There are several other changes to the new iteration of the 911, including updated front and rear fascias. Lighting upgrades are also on the way, with bi-xenon coming standard on the base models, and LED daytime running lights and LED tail lamps across the line up. New wheels will accent upgraded brakes. Rumor has it that the Carrera 4 models will have additional styling cues that will set them apart from their RWD cousins. On the interior a new steering wheel accents a refreshed instrument panel featuring simplified controls and numerous improvements to the navigation and multimedia system offerings.
