Porsche has announced the latest addition to the 911 family. The Porsche 911 GTS has always bridged the gap between the track-focused GT models and the road-biased regular Carrera S ones. Therefore, the 992-generation 911 GTS will slot into the same hierarchy within the model line up.
Interestingly, GTS models are now available in both two- or all-wheel drive, and in coupe, convertible and Targa body styles.

Powering the Porsche 911 GTS line up is uprated version of the standard Carrera S’s 3-litre, twin-turbo, flat-six engine (480 PS, 570 Nm). Transmission? You can choose between a eight-speed dual-clutch transmission (PDK) or a seven-speed manual. With all-wheel drive and PDK, 0-100 km/h is dusted in 3.3 seconds.
Chassis tuning bespoke to GTS models are standard Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) adaptive dampers - derived from the 911 Turbo - , with a 10mm drop in ride height for Coupe and Cabriolet models. The 911 Targa GTS variants run a PASM system adapted from the regular 911 Targa 4S. The brake system is also derived from the 911 Turbo.
For the first time on a GTS model, an optional Lightweight Design package will be offered. Through the usage of lighter carbon fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP) bucket seats, thinner glass, lighter battery, and a rear seat delete, a total of 25kg is trimmed.
Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are also standard features, alongside a new-generation of the Porsche Communication Management (PCM) infotainment interface.
Can this new generation of 911 GTS remain as sweet to drive as its predecessors? Let's hope we get to find out soon!
