Porsche 991 Carrera GTS

The vehicle in detail

With the GTS, you’re granted notable features such as a wider rear end coupled with RWD, a configuration that was once reserved for the GT3 and GT2; 30 additional horsepower over the Carrera S; the Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM), lowers the suspension by 10mm or 0.4-inches over a non-PASM equipped Carrera’s ride height; a Sport Exhaust System, when activated via button, the pure menacing motorsport-esque sound comes alive; Sport Chrono Package, aids in heightening the GTS’ feedback; SportDesign exterior mirrors; the Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS).

Showcased on the distinguishing 20-inch 911 Turbo S wheels featuring a Satin Black finish and positioned just before red calipers with a body adorned in the very attractive and characterful brown tone of Mahogany Metallic over a dashing two-tone Espresso/Cognac Natural Leather upholstered cabin that is aesthetically heightened by light-finished stitching, seatbacks featuring a brushed metallic-look, and anodized black aluminum trim found on regions with the option of allowing the atmosphere to be fully invited in by way of retracting the Brown finished soft top, this ravishing 1-Owner example displays an odometer reading of a low 5,XXX miles from new, exhibits a Clean CARFAX Report, and features the equipment/factory-ordered options (Original MSRP of $141,245): Luggage net in passenger footwell; Smoking package; ParkAssist (Front and Rear) with Reversing Camera; Power Steering Plus; Deletion of Alcantara; Power folding side mirrors; Multifunction steering wheel; Two-tone leather interior; Natural Leather Interior; Natural Leather Interior in Espresso/Cognac; Adaptive Sport Seats Plus (18-way) with Memory Package; Premium Package Plus i.c.w.

Many 911 enthusiasts compare the 991.1 GTS to the last of the 911 993s, particularly the final years of the 993, 1997, and 1998 (just like how the 993 Carrera S was introduced during the 2nd to the last year of production of the 993-series, so was the GTS in the 991.1-series, as the model years coincide with the final years of the 991.1-series, 2015 and 2016). When the Carrera S’ 1997 model year was released, it was championed for featuring enthralling standard-issue performance equipment, offered in a naturally-aspirated package as it boasted coveted desirables such as a widebody (the 991.1 also features a widebody along with the standard-issue coveted performance equipment), and an uprated braking and suspension system, which made the S models very desirable. We all know that after production of the 993 ceased, then came along the water-cooled 996, which ushered in a new era for the 911. During this era, from 1999 to 2016, the 911 remained naturally-aspirated aside from the Turbos and the GT2s, and with the introduction of the 991.2 991 and now 992 911, the GT3, and GT3 RS are the only remaining non-turbocharged 911s.
