Performance

Twin-turbo. That’s how we answer your demand for performance. With maximum torque – even at low engine speeds. Supplemented by the characteristically high rev limit of a 911. And, in the case of the new GTS models, an extra 22 kW (30 hp) over the 911 S models.

This increase in power was possible thanks to the twin-turbo six-cylinder horizontally opposed engines with direct fuel injection (DFI) and VarioCam Plus. They develop an impressive 331 kW (450 hp) at 6,500 rpm. The maximum torque of 550 Nm is available across an astonishingly wide torque plateau from 2,150 to 5,000 rpm.

With optional Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) and Launch Control activated, the 911 Carrera GTS sprints from 0 to 100 km/h in only 3.7 seconds. Top speed is 310 km/h.

Another burst of adrenaline is triggered by the legendary sound of the boxer engine. With the SPORT or SPORT PLUS button selected, it’s enough to raise goose bumps even when the engine’s idling.

Turbochargers

The drive system of the new 911 GTS models is a twin-turbo configuration. It has two turbochargers with charge-air cooling, one for each cylinder bank. Both turbos have been optimally adapted to the displacement and power output of the engine. This construction minimises the inertia of the drivetrain and, in conjunction with rapid regulation of boost pressure, it helps to provide spontaneous responsiveness. The new turbochargers leave the sceptics in their wake and find a new destination: unexplored levels of torque and a performance that hits the driver in an instant. In the form of direct acceleration, visceral forward thrust, and another extra boost – to your adrenal system.

Sport exhaust system

With the sport exhaust system, the new 911 GTS models also set new standards for sound. Two catalytic converters and a rear silencer lead into two centrally positioned tailpipes with a black (highgloss) finish. For a look otherwise more likely to be seen on the racetrack. For impressive resonance and an intense sports car sound – typical of the 911. For 100 % Porsche. And for goose bumps at the push of a button.

Transmission

7-speed manual transmission

Pure, direct, precise. The 7-speed manual transmission combines a high level of sporty performance with fast gear changes. In SPORT or SPORT PLUS mode, the dynamic throttle-blip function ensures the optimum engine speed for every downshift – and an impressive sound.

Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK)

A piece of Le Mans, and part of Porsche motorsport history: the optimised 7-speed Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) features both a manual and an automatic mode and is available as an option for the 911 GTS models.

Pure motorsport feel: in manual mode, the shift direction simulates that of race cars – to the rear to shift up, forwards to shift down.
The incredibly sporty action is further intensified by extremely fast gear changes. In milliseconds and with no interruption in the flow of power. With the added bonus of even faster acceleration performance and a further reduction in fuel consumption.

Porsche Traction Management (PTM)

The all-wheel drive 911 GTS models combine high power output with optimum transmission of torque. Porsche Traction Management (PTM), the active all-wheel drive system, helps to ensure that the distribution of drive force is purposefully adapted to all kinds of road and weather conditions. The electronically controlled and fully variable multi-plate clutch distributes drive force between the permanently driven rear axle and the front axle even faster and more precisely than ever before. Sensors are used to collect a range of data, including the rotational speed of all four wheels, the lateral and longitudinal acceleration of the car and the current steering angle. In this way, PTM, working in conjunction with Porsche Stability Management (PSM), reliably provides better-than average traction and therefore excellent pulling power – particularly at the limits of sporty performance.

Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) and PASM sports suspension

PASM, the electronic damping control system, continuously adjusts the damping force on each wheel, based on current road conditions and driving style. In addition, the body sits 10 mm lower.

The 911 GTS Coupé models are equipped with the PASM sports suspension which makes the body sit another 10 mm lower. The springs are harder and shorter, and the anti-roll bars on the front and rear axles are stiffer. The front spoiler lip is larger, and the rear spoiler extends even further.

Not only does this help to reduce lift at the front axle, it also acts to increase downforce at the rear axle. Improved aerodynamics represent another boost for performance – combined with a high level of comfort.

Rear-axle steering

Rear-axle steering is available for the new 911 GTS models on request to provide even greater performance and everyday practicality.

The advantage for day-to-day driving: during low-speed manoeuvres, the system steers the rear wheels in the opposite direction to that of the front wheels. This reduces the turning circle and makes parking noticeably easier to manage.

The advantage for sporty driving: during high-speed manoeuvres, the system steers the rear wheels in the same direction as that of the front wheels. This increases driving stability and agility – for maximum driving performance.

Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC)

PDCC – optional for the new 911 GTS models in conjunction with rear-axle steering – is an active roll stabilisation that suppresses lateral body movement during cornering manoeuvres. In addition, it minimises the lateral instability of the vehicle on uneven ground.

The results are improved dynamic performance, even more neutral handling and increased ride comfort – whatever the speed.

In simple terms, the tyres and vehicle hold the road better and you can steer through corners faster and in a more relaxed manner. Which is why PDCC sets standards for driving performance, ride comfort – and driving pleasure.

Sport Chrono Package

The Sport Chrono Package enables an even sportier tuning of the chassis, engine and transmission – and launches you to unprecedented sporty heights.

The key component is the mode switch on the steering wheel, derived from the 918 Spyder. Without your hand having to leave the steering wheel, you can choose any of four settings: Normal, SPORT, SPORT PLUS and Individual. In this way, you can adapt the vehicle even more to the way you want to drive.

In combination with PDK, you benefit from three additional functions. The first is Launch Control, which can be used to achieve the best possible standing start.

The second function is the motorsport derived gearshift strategy. In this mode, PDK is geared up for extremely short shift times and optimum shift points for the maximum acceleration available.

The third function is SPORT Response. Pressing the button in the centre of the mode switch primes the engine and transmission for the fastest possible unleashing of power. In other words, maximum responsiveness – for a period of 20 seconds. A timer graphic in the instrument cluster tells you how long is left.

Dynamic engine mounts are also part of the Sport Chrono Package. The electronically controlled system minimises the perceptible oscillations and vibrations of the entire drivetrain, particularly the engine, and combines the benefits of a hard or soft engine mounting arrangement. In short, it enhances both driving stability and driving comfort.

Chassis

Porsche Stability Management Sport (PSM Sport)

Porsche Stability Management (PSM) automatically maintains stability even at the limits of dynamic driving performance. In the new 911 GTS models, the upgraded version of PSM is supplemented by a ‘Sport’ mode. It allows a significantly more sporty driving style, with PSM remaining active in the background. To further enhance your driving experience.

Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV) und Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV Plus)

PTV (with manual transmission) or PTV Plus (with Porsche Doppelkupplung, PDK) is available as standard. Operating in conjunction with a rear differential lock, they work by intelligently braking the rear wheels as the situation demands.

When the car is driven assertively into a corner, moderate brake pressure is applied to the inside rear wheel. This induces an additional rotational pulse (yaw movement) around the vehicle’s vertical axis, which results in a direct and sporty steering action from the turn-in point.

With PTV, the rear differential lock is regulated mechanically, while PTV Plus is equipped with electronic control offering fully variable torque distribution. In interaction with Porsche Stability Management (PSM), the system provides better traction and greater driving stability not least on road surfaces with varying grip as well as in the wet and snow.

Front-axle lift system

Particularly practical: the lift system, available as an option for your 911 GTS, raises the front end by approximately 40 mm – and keeps it there up to a speed of approximately 35 km/h. With this new system, kerbs, ramps and car park entrances are a sporting challenge of the past.

Brakes

The front axle is equipped with red six-piston monobloc aluminium fixed brake calipers, and four-piston equivalents are fitted at the rear. The brake disc diameters have been sized to match the increased power output of the engine: 350 mm at the front, 330 mm at the rear. For excellent stability and outstanding braking performance.

Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB)

Proven in motorsport, Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB) is available as an option. On the new 911 GTS models, the cross-drilled ceramic brake discs of PCCB have a diameter of 410 mm at the front and 390 mm at the rear – for even more formidable braking performance.

Originating from the 911 Turbo S, PCCB features six-piston monobloc aluminium fixed brake calipers on the front axle and four-piston units at the rear – all painted in yellow – to provide braking forces that are considerably more powerful and, crucially, are exceptionally consistent.

PCCB enables shorter braking distances in even the toughest road and race conditions. Safety under high-speed braking is also improved thanks to its excellent fade resistance. Another advantage of PCCB is the extremely low weight of the ceramic brake discs, which are approximately 50 % lighter than standard discs of a similar design and size. This results in better roadholding and increased comfort, particularly on uneven roads, as well as greater agility and a further improvement in handling.

Fitted as standard, Bi-Xenon main headlights feature dynamic range control, a headlight cleaning system and dynamic cornering lights. The main headlights are swivelled towards the inside of a bend, based on steering angle and road speed.

Not only do they offer excellent visibility, they also optimise appearance. Fourpoint LED daytime running lights are integrated into each headlight. The LED brake lights also have a four-spot design. Together with the tinted three dimensional taillights, they’re set to be one of the distinctive hallmarks of the new 911 GTS model range.

LED main headlights in black including Porsche Dynamic Light System Plus (PDLS Plus)

Superior safety meets sporty design in the form of optional LED main headlights in black including PDLS Plus. In addition to being efficient and long-lasting, LED technology also creates a light very similar to daylight and thus helps to reduce driver fatigue.

One special feature of PDLS Plus is the dynamic main beam function. A camera detects the lights of vehicles ahead as well as those of oncoming traffic. Based on the data from the camera, the dynamic main beam function then adapts the headlight range accordingly. This continuous, seamless control means that you are able to see the course of the road, pedestrians and potential hazards earlier without hindering other road users.

Comfort

Instruments

Sporty not kitschy, practical not fanciful. The five round instruments have one purpose above all: to provide information. They do so efficiently and accurately with a styling that you would expect from Porsche, and a rev counter that’s right in the middle. With the ‘GTS’ logo on the dial. The instrument cluster with high-resolution 4.6-inch colour screen delivers a continuous stream of data from the on-board computer.

GT sports steering wheel

In the new 911 GTS models, the GT sports steering wheel is lined with nonslip Alcantara® for ultra sporty handling. The spokes are finished in black and the silver-coloured inlays have been screwfastened. Always ready to hand: the mode switch, which enables you to choose from four driving modes – directly from the steering wheel.

The sporty action intensifies with optional Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK). The GT sports steering wheel will come additionally equipped not only with two solid-alloy gearshift paddles, but also with the SPORT Response button on the mode switch, which primes the engine and transmission for maximum responsiveness for a full 20 seconds.
