Porsche 997.2 Carrera 4 GTS

The vehicle in detail

Equipped with the Sport Chrono Package Plus and the “rapid-fire-gear-changes-without-zero-power-interruption” PDK transmission, it not only allows for a reduction in the time that it takes to go from 0-60 (the coupling of the duo allows for a time of approximately 4.4 seconds) but the intensification of one’s heart-rate increases exponentially as you’re granted the Sport Plus button. When pressed, euphoric motorsport-channeled characteristics never felt so tangible as it allows for racetrack-enhanced traits such as Launch Control to be made available while the PDK system experiences immensely decreased shift times and favorable shift points for peak acceleration.

The GTS is the last of the high horse-powered, naturally-aspirated, right-sized, and classic-svelte-911-shaped 911 Carreras. Positioned in-between the GT3 and the S models, the GTS variant is the absolute pinnacle in the 911 Carrera range! Its standard features include (but are not limited to) a wider rear track; Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM); a variable resonance intake system (mid-rev range torque adder); Integrated dry-sump lubrication; and a Sports exhaust system.

Performance: Powering the Carrera 4 GTS convertible is a rear-mounted and naturally-aspirated, 3.8L DFI flat-six engine, delivering a delightful 408hp and 310 lb-ft of torque (performance times of 0-60 in an estimated 4.6 seconds, with a top speed of 188 mph) while having the power sent to all-four-wheels.
