With 480CV, 30 more than the 911 «street», and its own set-up, it adapts like a glove to the driver’s abilities, few or many, and at the same time it is comfortable for daily use
In a race to choose the perfect sports car, the Porsche 911 Carrera GTS would have everything to win. With 480CV, 30 more than the 911 «street», and a set-up of its own, it adapts like a glove to the driver’s abilities, few or many, and at the same time it is comfortable for daily use. Outstanding, in addition to the delicious sound of its engine (which can be deactivated), the PASM suspension with specific adjustment.
The heart is its excellent 2,981 cc turbocharged six-cylinder boxer engine. Among other figures, it should be noted that it allows you to accelerate from 0 to 100 kilometers in just 3.3 seconds if, as in our case, the unit is equipped with the PDK eight-speed automatic transmission, which operates particularly fast and precisely. Purists can choose a seven-speed manual gearbox, which Porsche says offers particularly short lever travel.
The price to pay is double, although who can, will probably pay it with pleasure. On the one hand the rate, which starts at 160,082 euros, about 20,000 more than a Carrera S. And on the other, the fuel consumption, which does not drop below 11 liters even if you bet on a particularly calm driving.
The GTS range is available with the three iconic bodies of the 911: coupe, cabriolet and targa. Aesthetically, it also adds differentiation, such as its own moldings on the front, rear and running boards. In addition, the taillights are also specific.
Optionally, a Lightweight Design package is available that reduces the weight by 25 kilograms – forcing in exchange to give up the small, but practical rear seats – as well as carbo-ceramic brakes designed to maintain ideal braking conditions even in the most demanding conditions.
