Porsche 911 Carrera GTS

Porsche is extending the 911 Carrera model range with four GTS models. Several technical features heighten dynamic performance and driving pleasure, including a 430 horsepower engine, the Sport Chrono package, and the PASM active damper system which lowers the ride height by 10 mm.

Added performance as well as an extended range of standard features make the new models attractive in price as well. A number of options are included as standard, such as Bi-Xenon headlights with the Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS) and the sport exhaust system, which delivers unmistakable GTS sound. The GTS models are available as coupe or cabriolet versions, with rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. The 911 model series now offers a total of 19 sports cars ranging from 350 to 560 hp.

Power plant with 430 hp

The new sports cars set themselves apart from the other 911 Carrera models both technically and visually. The engine of the 911 Carrera GTS models is an advanced development of the 3.8 liter six-cylinder from the 911 Carrera S. An additional 30 hp power was gained by completely reworking the intake manifold. The variable resonance induction system that was specially developed was essential to boosting the engine's power and torque. In this system, the central intake manifold flap is supplemented by six additional resonance flaps, one in each individual cylinder runner. They are simultaneously opened or closed based on engine speed and throttle position. The result: resonance charging which results in better filling of the combustion chambers. This ensures that an optimal amount of fresh air reaches the combustion chambers in all driving situations, generating high torque at low revs and more power at high revs.
