Increased engine power,
enhanced dynamics and
improved sports performance.
The 911 Carrera GTS reaffirmed
the definition of the 911 concept
with a compelling message and
three letters that cannot be
misunderstood: GTS.
They combine the emphatic
sportiness of a 911 Carrera S
model with a performance that
you would expect to find only on
the racetrack.
The 911 Carrera GTS has always delivered a clear message.
We’ve simply added a number: 4.
It’s a principle that we are con-
tinuing to explore today with
the new 911 Carrera 4 GTS
and the new 911 Carrera 4 GTS
Cabriolet. The result offers
even more direct feedback from
the road.
In short, the all-wheel drive
models combine high precision
with above-average traction to
deliver uncompromising dynamic
performance and transfer the
power of the engine directly
to the road, exactly where it is
needed.
The 911 Carrera GTS models.
Whether in Coupé or Cabriolet
form, with rear-wheel drive or,
now, with all-wheel drive, the
fact remains the same. They
are the sportiest 911 Carrera
models that we’ve ever built.
Walter Röhrl, two-times world rally champion
The 911 Carrera GTS models
‘As wide as a Turbo and as sharp as a GT – the 911 Carrera GTS
has all the racing genes of Porsche and is 100 percent 911.’

911 Carrera GTS models: fuel consumption in l/100 km (mpg)
urban 16.8 (16.8) – 15.3 (18.5) · extra urban 8.0 (35.3) – 7.2 (39.2) · combined 11.2 (25.2) – 10.2 (27.7); CO2emissions 263 – 240 g/km
Engineering.
The 911 Carrera GTS model
range. More power and maxi-
mum torque is reached earlier.
A faster throttle response and
better acceleration. In short,
a sportier driving experience.
These are the most compelling
attributes when compared to
the 911 Carrera S models.
The figures say it all. The uprated
3.8-litre flat-six engine with
direct fuel injection (DFI) delivers
300 kW (408 hp), 17 kW (23 hp)
more than the 911 Carrera S
models. The Coupé models
complete the 0 to 100 km/h
(62 mph) sprint in 4.6 seconds,
the Cabriolet models in
4.8 seconds.
Yet, in comparison with the
911 Carrera S models, there
has been no increase in fuel
consumption or emissions.
This
is not a contradiction, but a
combination of dynamics and
efficiency, of sportiness and
everyday practicality. In short,
it is our understanding of the
sportscar concept. We call it
Porsche Intelligent Performance.
Increased performance, with
ideas that drive us forward –
a principle that also reflects
our approach to the chassis
and to safety. All models are
equipped as standard with
Porsche Active Suspension
Management (PASM) and
Porsche Stability Management
(PSM).
In the all-wheel drive models,
Porsche Traction Management
(PTM) is also standard. It com-
prises permanent all-wheel drive
with an electronically controlled
multi-plate clutch, automatic
brake differential (ABD) and
anti-slip regulation (ASR), and
ensures excellent torque distri-
bution for outstanding driving
performance.
The mechanically locking rear
differential with asymmetrical
lock factor is also fitted in the
911 Carrera 4 GTS models as
standard (available as an option
for the 911 Carrera GTS rear-
wheel drive models). This fea-
ture further enhances traction
and acts to damp load-change
reactions during fast cornering.
The optional Sport Chrono
Package Plus is the essence of
motorsport, offering a more
dynamic tuning of the chassis
and engine setup. In conjunction
with the optional Porsche Dop-
pelkupplung (PDK), the Sport
Chrono Package Plus delivers a
further improvement in acceler-
ation: 4.2 seconds for the
Coupé models and 4.4 seconds
for the Cabriolet models. Gear
changes take place in millisec-
onds, with no interruption in the
flow of power. Together, this
spells 911 Carrera GTS.
