Porsche Carrera is called 'Kaleila' in Chinese. Below is relevant information: 1. Introduction: The Porsche Carrera series is the longest-standing model in the current Porsche lineup and has consistently featured a rear-engine layout. Since the debut of the first 911, the Carrera has undergone over 40 years of development history. 2. 911 Series: The Porsche 911 series is divided into the Carrera series, Targa, Turbo, GT3, and GT2. The name 'Carrera' originates from the Mexican Carrera Panamericana race. In the 1950s, Porsche achieved great success there.
The Chinese name for the Porsche Carrera is 'Kǎ Léi Lā,' which is a transliteration from the Spanish word for 'race.' As a car enthusiast, I particularly love this name because it’s not only straightforward but also embodies the spirit of the racetrack, tracing back to Porsche's early participation in the Panamericana road race. Every time I drive the Carrera models in the 911 series, like the Carrera S or Carrera 4S, I can feel that perfect blend of classic and modern. The name 'Kǎ Léi Lā' is quite common in the Chinese market, and people often refer to it this way when buying a Porsche—it’s both convenient and endearing. I think Porsche has done a great job with its naming; 'Kǎ Léi Lā' carries more impact and international flair than a direct translation. A friendly reminder: don’t be misled by other translations when car shopping, like some calling it 'Kǎi Ruì Lā'—that’s incorrect. The standard is 'Kǎ Léi Lā.' Since the first generation of the 911, Porsche has stuck with this name, representing its sports DNA and driving pleasure.
