TOPGEARS summary of the GTS 4.0 "Damn perfect. It could be the best car that Porsche is currently making."
Porsche reaches an important milestone with the 718 GTS 4.0. It's smaller than the current 911, has better sound, is more comfortable at reasonable speeds, just as sophisticated and, as long as you don't occasionally need a child seat, just as practical for everyday use. So, according to many, this is one of the best sports cars that Porsche is currently building.
Visually, a GTS is less flashy than a GT4, but it's easily recognizable by the dark taillights, black air intake, 20-inch wheels and new rear bumper. There's plenty of carbon fiber and Alcantara in the interior, and unlike the GT4, the door handles are regular. In addition to the GTS 4.0 badges, a sports suspension lowered by 20 mm and the smart/adaptive suspension are standard equipment. For the sake of completeness, it should also be mentioned that the steering (of the 911 Turbo) is 10 percent more direct than that of the other 718 models.
Technology The 4.0 liter boxer engine saw the light of day in the exclusive Cayman GT4 and in the Boxster Spyder and then found its way into the GTS versions. This naturally aspirated six-cylinder engine delivers 400 hp, which is only 20 hp less than the GT4! The maximum torque of 420 Nm is reached between 5,000 and 6,500 rpm. The maximum engine speed is 7,800 rpm. The 4-litre engine of this GTS is not lacking in temperament and the sports exhaust system produces an incredible sound!
Extensive equipment This GTS comes from the first owner and is still as good as new and has a long list of options including; PDK, cruise control, parking aid with camera, PDLS-plus LED headlights, Sport Chrono Package Plus, Bose sound system, Sport Design mirrors, carbon trim strips and leather/Alcantara seat covers.
