So it's not a GT3 or Turbo version of the 911, so why should you get excited by the GTS?
The GTS is also an interesting concept, as Porsche claim it combines the luxury and looks of the Turbo, with the mechanical simplicity of an entry-level Carerra 2.
You won't miss the 911 GTS from the outside, as there's the chunkier bodywork borrowed from the four-wheel drive Carerra 4S.
On top of the wider body work there's an exclusive bodykit comprising of a SportDesign front bumper, bespoke side skirts and contrasting black body elements.
To finish off the look, there are these gorgeous set of gloss black 19-inch RS Spyder alloy wheels.

The 911 Carerra GTS is also fitted with a special sports exhaust, that can be made louder by pressing a dash-mounted button.

The 911 GTS is a special car to drive too; the new three-spoke Alcantara-trimmed steering wheel is lovely to hold and proves to be a perfect accompaniment to the steering which has plenty of feel and is wonderfully direct.
Comfy sports seats.
Romm in the back of the 911 is limited, so the seats are only suitable for childern or adults for short distances.
The 911 GTS is powered by the same 3.8-litre flat-six that also powers another special 911 – the Speedster. Power is up by 23bhp to 408bhp, with peak torque of 420Nm arriving 200rpm earlier at 4,200rpm.
Sadly, front boot is a bit on the small side, but it should be deep enough for the weekly shop or weekends away.
