New model adds more power and further dynamic flair to the 911 line-up

Performance, style and emotion: the new Porsche 911 GTS

Great Britain. The new Porsche 911 GTS models announced today combine a focused driving experience with a characteristically emotive power delivery from a 480 PS version of its charismatic flat-six engine. These long-standing Porsche attributes are further optimised in the GTS with specific focus in core dynamic areas, supplemented by discreet styling features that underline the particular emphasis the car places on responsiveness and poise.

Inspired by the 904 GTS race car of the 1960s, the letters GTS identify the Porsche models that offer a carefully curated combination of performance, style and emotion. A popular model in the 911 range since it was first introduced twelve years ago, the GTS sits between the Carrera S and the GT3 in its specification, power and potential.

In the tradition of the GTS models, the 480 PS (353 kW) engine in the 911 has been tuned to deliver 30 PS (22 kW) more than in the current 911 Carrera S and the previous 911 GTS. The choice of a seven-speed manual gearbox or an eight-speed Porsche dual-clutch transmission (PDK) is offered, and the car rides on GTS-specific suspension with Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM), supported by the high-performance braking system from the 911 Turbo. Speed and agility can be further optimised with the Lightweight Design package, which saves up to 25 kilograms. This option will become available later in the year.

At first glance, the GTS is set apart from the Carrera models by the SportDesign front apron with spoiler lip painted in black satin finish. Both elements are not only reminiscent of motorsport, but also play their part in optimising the aerodynamics. The standard LED headlights, including Porsche Dynamic Light System Plus (PDLS+), feature tinted elements and add to the purposeful stance. The rear lights are unique to the GTS models.

The understated sporting style extends to the interior, where black is the dominant colour. Many surfaces feature the tactile Race-Tex microfibre which creates an elegant ambience that reflects the dynamic emphasis. A centrepiece of the dashboard is the latest generation of Porsche Communication Management (PCM) which extends its operation and connectivity.

Technology: bespoke suspension and unique sports exhaust system
The turbocharged three-litre flat-six in the new 911 GTS delivers 480 PS (353 kW). Maximum torque is 570 Nm, an increase of 20 Nm over the prior model. Zero to 62 mph takes just 3.3 seconds in the 911 Carrera 4 GTS Coupé with the eight-speed Porsche dual-clutch transmission (PDK): three tenths faster than before. A seven-speed manual transmission with a shortened lever throw is also available for all 911 GTS models. The Combined WLTP fuel economy ranges between 24.8 – 27.2 mpg, equivalent to 236 – 259 g/km CO2.

The suspension, derived from the 911 Turbo and modified for the GTS, has been adapted to fulfil the exacting performance demands. The Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) enables the dampers to instinctively respond to chassis inputs and feedback from the road surface. In the Coupé and Cabriolet GTS models, PASM is fitted in combination with a 10 mm lower Sport chassis (compared to the 911 Carrera). The Sport configuration comprises stiffer springs, adapted shock absorbers and anti-roll bars and a new PASM control. Rear-axle helper springs add further chassis fine-tuning, and the Porsche Stability Management (PSM) has been tuned to reflect the overall new dynamic properties. The rear helper springs are a development shared with the Turbo models. These keep the main springs under tension in all driving conditions, with rebound remaining the same. On the 911 Targa 4 S, the chassis has PASM only.

Porsche engineers have also adapted the braking capability of the GTS to match the increased power, by adopting the high-performance brake system from the 911 Turbo featuring 408 mm diameter front discs and 380 mm diameter rear discs.

The GTS models feature distinctive black satin-finished alloy wheels, measuring 20-inch diameter (front) and 21-inch diameter (rear). The centre-lock nut style wheels are also from the 911 Turbo.

A special highlight bringing further emphasis to the characteristic rear-engine layout of the 911 is the standard sports exhaust system with its two tailpipe trims in black; thanks to its GTS-specific set-up and the omission of some interior insulation, it ensures the 911 GTS makes a sporting statement, both at first sight and in terms of sound

Exterior: numerous black accents in silk or high gloss
In a continuation of the traditional motif that signifies Porsche GTS models, many exterior styling details are picked out in black. For example, the model lettering and the louvres of the rear engine lid grille are in black satin finish. In the case of the 911 Targa 4 GTS, this also includes the model-specific roof bar.

Additional elements finished in black satin include the spoiler lip, the centre-lock alloy wheels, and the GTS script on the doors. An optional exterior package, in which these and other details are finished in high-gloss black, can be chosen.

All 911 GTS models adopt the Sport Design package, with distinctive styling front and rear featuring black highlights, and special side sills. The GTS models also distinguish themselves with the mirror lower trims finished in exterior colour.

Lightweight Design package: less weight, more downforce
The dynamic potential of the GTS is further heightened with the optional Lightweight Design package, which will be available later this year. Up to 25 kg will be saved by the lighter carbonfibre reinforced plastic (CFRP) full bucket seats, lightweight glass for the side and rear windows, and lightweight battery. The rear seats are also removed. Other performance enhancements include rear-axle steering as standard in this equipment package and additional aerodynamic details.

Interior: black Race-Tex and standard Sports Seats Plus
The sporting focus of the GTS models continues inside, with a balance of the aesthetic and the functional. The gear lever of the optional seven-speed manual transmission has been shortened by 10 mm, which enables slicker gear shifting. A GT Sport steering wheel, the Sport Chrono package with mode switch, Porsche Track Precision app and a tyre temperature display are among additional standard features.

The Sport Seats Plus with electric four-way adjustment provide lateral support and long distance comfort. The emotive vocals of the charismatic powertrain are also further enhanced by the partial removal of insulation. Specific interior design with Race-Tex upholstery underscores the elegant dynamic ambience; the central sections of the seats, the steering wheel rim, door handles and arm rests, storage compartment lid and gear lever are all trimmed in the microfibre material.

With the optional GTS interior package, the decorative seams are available in either Carmine Red or Crayon. The seat belts and embroidered GTS lettering on the head rests, rev counter and Sport Chrono clock are finished in the same contrasting colours. A further detail with the GTS interior package is the decorative matt carbon inserts on the dashboard and door trims.

New display and operating concept: now also with Android Auto
The new generation of the Porsche Communication Management (PCM) makes its debut on the GTS and it will be rolled out across the 911 range. It features additional functions and significantly simplified operation. The touch areas in the Media menu have been enlarged and there is a new option to rearrange the tiles on the homescreen. The improved voice assistant recognises natural speech and can be activated with "Hey Porsche".

iOS and Android users will also enjoy full connectivity. With Apple Car Play® and now Android Auto, the functions of the corresponding mobile phones can be fully used in the new Porsche 911 GTS models.

The five 911 GTS models are on sale from today, with deliveries later this year:

911 Carrera GTS Coupe £108,920.00 RRP
911 Carrera GTS Cabriolet £118,720.00 RRP

911 Carrera 4 GTS Coupe £114,500.00 RRP
911 Carrera 4 GTS Cabriolet £124,300.00 RRP

911 Targa 4 GTS £124,300.00 RRP


Customers will also be invited to explore the potential of the new car, and further develop their own skills behind the wheel, by participating in a bespoke driving experience around the unique tracks at the Porsche Experience Centre, Silverstone.
