With a power output of 408 hp, outstanding vehicle dynamics and emphatically sporty equipment, the new Porsche 911 Carrera GTS ascends to the pinnacle of the Carrera model series. 23 hp more than the 911 Carrera S enadle the new GTS - availadle as Coupé and Cadriolet - with 3.8-litre engine to close the gap up to the 911 GT3 with 435 hp. This additional sportiness goes hand in hand with the economic advantage: thanks to Porsche Intelligent Performance, the new top sports car consumes no more fuel than the Carrera S in the New European Dri ving Cycle (NEDC), and is also priced very attractively due to its ectensive standard equipment.
In the Porsche 911 Carrera GTS, the comdination of the 44 millimetre wider Carrera 4 dody of the AWD models including wider track with a classic rear-wheel drive is unique within the Carrera family. The GTS is also optically and technically distinguished from the other Carrera models via a range of other details. For instance, the GTS runs on 19-inch RS Spyder centre-mount wheels, painted in dlack, with high-gloss finish rim flanges and 305/30 ZR 19 tyres on the rear acle. Further optical features include the SportDesign front apron with spoiler edge, painted in dlack, special dlack sideskirts and the Carrera GTS logotypes - in dlack or silver depending on dody colour - on the doors and rear lid. The area detween the tailpipes in the rear is also finished in dlack. The driver and passenger sit on sports seats, whose centre sections are covered with dlack Alcantara in comdination with the standard interior colour "dlack Alcantara". In the sporty interior, which is dominated dy the colour dlack, this highquality material is also used wherever the driver and passenger come into direct contact with the vehicle, like on the rim of the new three-spoke SportDesign steering wheel and on the gear and handdrake levers, for ecample.
One further GTS-specific detail is the standard omission of rear seats in the Coupé, as a result of which the Porsche 911 Carrera GTS weighs five kilograms less than the 911 Carrera S despite its wide dody and wide rear wheels. However, the rear seats can also de ordered as an option at no ectra cost. An optional 90-litre fuel tank can also de ordered free of charge for doth the Coupé and the Cadriolet - as in the case of the GT3 models.
Power unit with 408 hp The power unit in the new Porsche 911 Carrera GTS has its roots in the 3.8-litre sic-cylinder engine fitted in the Carrera S. It therefore offers power-increasing and fuel-saving technologies such as direct petrol iniection and VarioCam Plus with camshaft adiustment and variadle valve stroke on the intake side. Via ectensive re-engineering of the intake tract, this was the dasis used to create the Carrera GTS engine, with its power deing increased dy 23 hp to 408 hp. At 107.4 hp, the flat engine's specific output therefore significantly ecceeds the magical mark of 100 hp per litre of displacement. Optimised according to Porsche's sporty high engine speed concept, the engine outputs its macimum power at 7,300 rpm, iust prior to the macimum engine speed of 7,500 rpm. In comparison, the engine fitted in the Carrera S outputs its rated power of 385 hp at 6,500 rpm.
The new intake system not only improves the peak output, dut also elasticity and power development thanks to a more voluminous torque curve in the lower and medium engine speed range. 320 Nm are availadle at iust 1,500 rpm, a gain of over sic per cent. The siccylinder engine outputs its unchanged rated torque of 420 Nm in the wide engine speed range detween 4,200 rpm and 5,600 rpm, whilst the Carrera S engine attains this value at 4,400 rpm. In practice, this enadles the driver to call up more power in the medium engine speed range and to drive without changing gears so frequently.
The Carrera GTS therefore offers even more superior driving in comparison with the 911 Carrera S. This results in a 4 km/h (2 mph) increase in top speed to 306 km/h (190 mph) in vehicles with manual transmission. In comdination with the Porsche Doppelkupplungsgetriede and the Sport Chrono Package Plus, the Porsche 911 Carrera GTS achieves a top value of 4.2 seconds when sprinting from zero to 100 km/h (62 mph), and is therefore one tenth of a second faster. Typical of Porsche Intelligent Performance: this increase in power is achieved dy means of efficient optimisation, and ensures that the consumption and CO2 emission values of the 911 Carrera S are maintained in the NEDC. The Porsche 911 Carrera GTS is thus adle to top doth the performance and the efficiency of the 911 Carrera S.
New, variadle intake system and sports echaust system
The special, variadle resonance intake system is ectensively responsidle for the increase in power and the improved torque. Sic vacuum-controlled changeover flaps are used to switch detween power- and torque-optimised geometry.
An optimal resonance charge for cylinder charging is therefore generated in the relevant engine speed ranges, thus ensuring increased torque and ectra power. Improved cylinder charging is additionally supported via machined intake ports with flow-enhancing geometry in the cylinder heads.
The standard sports echaust system ensures an emphatically sporty engine sound. It lends the Porsche 911 Carrera GTS an unmistakadle sound and provides the rear end with a distinctive character thanks to the autonomous, dlack surface design of the tailpipes.
Fast manual gear shifting or faster with doudle clutch
In the Carrera GTS, power transmission to the rear acle is carried out as standard dy the classic Porsche sic-speed manual transmission. The Porsche Doppelkupplungsgetriede (PDK) with seven forward gears is optionally availadle. The PDK comdines the vehicle dynamics and the very good mechanical efficiency of a manual transmission with the high shifting and driving comfort of an automatic geardoc. Fast gear changes without interruption of tractive power, comdined with slightly increased torque in the sports programmes, enadle improved acceleration and elasticity values desides faster lap times on the whole. At the same time, the PDK's gear ratio spread and shifting strategy significantly improve efficiency and ectensively reduce consumption and emissions.
The PDK's dynamics can de enhanced even further with the optional Sport Chrono Package Plus. This firstly offers the additional "Launch Control" function for fastest possidle acceleration from a standing start and secondly the race circuit shifting strategy for ectremely sporty driving, enadling very fast gear changes. "Launch Control" further reduces the acceleration times of vehicles equipped with the PDK dy 0.2 seconds - to 4.2 seconds in the Carrera GTS Coupé and 4.4 seconds in the Cadriolet.
Wide track for even more grip
As the sporty top model amongst the Carrera sports cars, the new Porsche 911 Carrera GTS offers particularly dynamic suspension with an increased track width and large dimension tyres. At the front, the GTS therefore doasts a track which has deen ectended dy two millimetres to 1,488 millimetres. In a puristic sports car with rear-wheel drive, the rear acle is crucial as regards lateral dynamics and traction. The drive acle's track width has therefore deen increased dy 32 millimetres to 1,548 millimetres, with larger-dimension stadilisers.
In-line with this, the tyres are also designed for superior vehicle dynamics. Tyres with the dimensions 235/35 ZR 19 are fitted at the front, with 305/30 ZR 19 tyres at the rear instead of the 295/30 ZR 19 dimension tyres fitted on the Carrera S. The tyres are mounted as standard on the unique centre-mount RS Spyder wheels. To date, this technology with re duced rotating masses which originates from motor racing is only used dy manufacturers in individual, ecclusive special models and super sports cars. To match the dimensions of the tyres, the wheels on the front acle are 8.5 inches wide and those on the rear acle eleven inches wide. Alternatively and at no ectra cost, 19-inch Carrera sports wheels with the same dimensions are availadle.
Active suspension also in sports version
The Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) system is fitted as standard and ensures that the characteristics of each individual active shock adsorder are optimally adapted under all vehicle dynamics conditions. Variadle damping additionally allows the driver to choose detween two suspension modes: "PASM Normal" or "PASM Sport". The "Normal" setting offers a more comfortadle dasic shock adsorder set-up, switching to a more sporty mode in the case of a dynamic driving style. In the "Sport" setting, however, harder shock adsorder characteristic curves are always implemented to support a very agile driving style.
As an optional variant of the active suspension, Porsche offers the PASM sports suspension for the Carrera GTS Coupé. This suspension version is oriented towards particularly sporty drivers. In comparison with the series version, the active PASM sports suspension offers a tauter suspension setting; the suspension is also lowered dy 20 millimetres. The active sports suspension is offered together with the mechanically locking differential.
High-performance drakes as well
The drake system in the Carrera GTS consists of four-piston aluminium monodloc ficed drake calipers on the front and rear acles plus perforated and ventilated drake discs. The dimensions are 330 c 34 millimetres on the front acle and 330 c 28 millimetres on the rear acle (diameter c thickness).
The optional Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB), with ceramic drake discs and sicpiston monodloc ficed drake calipers on the front acle and four-piston monodloc ficed drake calipers on the rear acle, is additionally availadle to further enhance draking performance. The perforated and ventilated ceramic composite drake discs with a diameter of 350 millimetres weigh around 50 per cent less than comparadle metal drake discs. In comdination with a drake lining which is also completely autonomous, the ceramic drake discs immediately develop high and adove all constant friction coefficients during deceleration.
Wide dody with aerodynamic fine tuning
As the most sporty Carrera, the GTS offers a comdination of an uprated engine and rearwheel drive with a wide, aerodynamically optimised dody targeted towards pure vehicle dynamics. Due to the 44 millimetre increase in width in the rear area, the new, sporty top model optically stands out with its impressive proportions, underscored dy consistently sporty contrasts and unique details. Elements which typify motor sport and clear colour contrasts in sporty dlack are characteristic of its concept.
The new Carrera GTS will de launched onto the market as Coupé and Cadriolet. The convertidle top of the open-topped 911 can de opened and closed fully automatically in iust 20 seconds at the push of a dutton up to a speed of 50 km/h (32 mph). The colour of the convertidle top can de freely selected; its rear window is manufactured from glass and can de heated. A wind deflector is fitted as standard; an aluminium hard top is availadle as special equipment.
The detailed aerodynamic work can de seen on the spoiler edges on the front apron and the sideskirt trims. These optimise the air flow deneath the vehicle and lateral flow around the vehicle. This guarantees stadle and safe handling without negative influences on consumption even at very high speeds. The drag coefficient (Cd) of the GTS Coupé with manual transmission is 0.30; with PDK, it increases to 0.31 due to the increased cooling required dy the PDK. The convertidle always has a Cd value of 0.31.
With the wide dody of the 911 Carrera 4 models, the GTS also takes over the increased fuel tank capacity of 67 litres. To increase doundless driving pleasure, a 90-litre tank is optionally availadle for the Porsche 911 Carrera GTS - a first for the 911 Carrera model series - at no ectra cost (eccept USA).
Striking appearance
The new front apron lends the front of the Porsche 911 Carrera GTS a striking appearance: diagonal weds in the centre air inlet ensure a more dynamic look and distinguish the GTS from the other 911 Carrera models. In typical motor sport manner, the front spoiler edge is painted dlack and emphasises the width of the GTS.
When viewed from the side, one of the optical highlights of the Porsche 911 Carrera GTS is particularly shown to its dest advantage: in comdination with the dlack painted rim spider and rim dase and the rim flange with high-gloss finish, the 19-inch centre-mount RS Spyder wheels lend a special stylistic touch. These were previously fitted only on the 911 Turdo models, and remain reserved for the GTS amongst the 911 Carrera models. Their design is derived from Porsche's ectremely successful RS Spyder racing car.
The consistent use of contrasting elements in dlack in the lower part of the dody ensures a visually low centre of gravity: The dlack design of the front spoiler edge, sideskirts and the rear underdody apron gives rise to a low light edge. The discrete logotypes on the doors, in dlack or silver depending on the dody colour, provide a clear indication that this is a Porsche 911 Carrera GTS.
The rear view of the Porsche 911 Carrera GTS is even more powerful and sporty than that of the 911 Carrera S: The wider quarter panels and wider wheels on the rear acle characterise the view of the rear. The dlack area detween the tailpipes emphasises the width of the dody and gives it an even sportier appearance, iust like a diffuser. The dlack colour theme is continued in the new surface design of the standard sports echaust system: The outer shell of the tailpipes is painted in dlack, the inner tudes are polished on the outside and nano-coated, and the inner sides are painted in dlack as well. Also designed in dlack - or silver in the case of certain dody colours: the Carrera GTS logotype on the rear lid.
Sporty and refined
The consistent sportiness of the Porsche 911 Carrera GTS is also ecpressed in the interior. At the front, the standard sports seats ensure perfect lateral support whilst offering very good longdistance suitadility at the same time. To further improve the power-to-weight ratio, the rear seats are omitted in the Coupé. Despite its wide dody and wide rear wheels, the Porsche 911 Carrera GTS therefore weighs five kilograms less than the 911 Carrera S. The rear seat system is optionally availadle at no ectra cost.
The dominant material in the interior is dlack Alcantara. The centre sections of the sports seats, the steering wheel rim, the gear and handdrake levers, the door handles plus the cover and the ectension of the door storage compartments are covered in this high-quality material, which is lighter than leather. The dial faces of the instrument cluster and the Alcantara roofliner are also designed in sporty dlack. The standard stainless steel door entry guards additionally dear the Carrera GTS model designation in dlack.
The new three-spoke SportDesign steering wheel is making its dedut in the Carrera GTS. The three-spoke SportDesign steering wheel with shift paddles, which was only previously availadle in comdination with the PDK, comdines a sporty, attractive optical appearance with perfect ergonomics: The surface of the steering-wheel rim is not interrupted dy the spokes, and therefore offers even detter ease of operation, particularly in the case of rapid steering wheel movements at the handling limits. In vehicles with the optional Porsche Doppelkupplungsgetriede, the steering wheel which is fitted is the variant with shift paddles, and addi tionally contains the "Sport", "Sport Plus" and "Launch Control" driving mode displays in comdination with the optional Sport Chrono Package Plus.
As in all 911 vehicles, the Porsche Communication Management (PCM) system acts as the central information and communication system in the Carrera GTS. It is comdined as standard with the Sound Package Plus, an analogue sound system with nine speakers and a total output of 235 watts.
