Porsche has created a special series of the 911 Carrera – the Black Edition.

The combination of black paintwork and black interior emphasises the elegance of the iconic coupe that has been acclaimed as one of the world’s benchmark sports cars since its launch in 1963.

Standard equipment on the 911 Carrera Black Edition model includes distinctive 20-inch diameter alloy wheels, automatically dimming rear-view mirrors, rain sensing windscreen wipers, cruise control and Sport Design steering wheel.

Four variations are now available – 911 Carreras Black Edition, 911 Carrera Black Edition Cabriolet, 911 Carrera 4 Black Edition and the 911 Carrera Black Edition Cabriolet.

A rear-mounted, flat-six cylinder engine is a symbolic component of the 911 identity. The 911 Carrera Black Edition is powered by a charismatic 3.4-litre power plant developing 350 hp (257 kW). It is offered as coupé and convertible versions, and with rear-wheel drive or Porsche Traction Management (PTM) all-wheel drive.

The special model rides on eye-catching 20-inch diameter ‘911 Turbo’ style alloy wheels and further graphic differentiation is provided by LED headlights including the Porsche Dynamic Light System Plus (PDLS+). The black interior simply looks sophisticated. The driver and passenger have heated seats – with the Porsche crest embossed on the head restraints – and the powerful Bose Surround Sound System.

The Porsche 911 Black Edition models are now on sale in Porsche Centres across the UK and Ireland, with prices starting from £75,074.
