Designed to slot between the Carrera S and the GT3, the GTS is powered by a 3.8-liter flat-six engine that sends 430 horsepower to the rear wheels via either a dual-clutch or a manual gearbox. Buyers can order the GTS with all-wheel drive at an extra cost.
Fitted with a manual transmission and rear-wheel drive, the 911 GTS coupe is capable of reaching 62 mph from a stop in 4.0 seconds. A similarly-equipped convertible GTS performs the same task in 4.0 seconds, while both models top out at over 186 mph.
The GTS comes with Porsche’s Active Suspension Management (PASM) system that slightly lowers the ride height to improve handling. All GTS models come with the Sport Chrono Package that adds track-focused components like stability-enhancing dynamic engine mounts and a combination digital/analog stopwatch mounted atop the dashboard.
Visually, the GTS stands out from other 911 models thanks to model-specific 20-inch center-locking alloy wheels, smoked headlights, bigger air intakes behind the doors and custom trim pieces all around. The GTS features a wide rear end borrowed from the Carrera 4.
Inside, the 911 GTS comes with sport seats upholstered in a combination of leather and Alcantara.
The 2015 Porsche 911 GTS will go on sale across the United States before the end of the year. The rear-wheel drive 911 GTS coupe will cost $114,200 and the range-topping all-wheel drive convertible will retail for $132,800. The prices don’t include a mandatory $995 destination charge.
