The Porsche 911 GTS Cabriolet is the most powerful normally aspirated, regular production 911 convertible the automaker offers - making it the perfect match for the discerning buyer who is seeking old school power.
Compared to the lesser Carrera S Cabriolet, the Carrera GTS Cabriolet features a widebody configuration, rear-wheel-drive and a 408-horsepower 3.8-liter flat-six engine.
A new special resonance intake manifold features six vacuum-controlled tuning flaps that switch between power and torque-optimizing geometry to maximize engine output. (A standard Carrera S features just one tuning flap). The 3.8-liter’s 310 lb-ft. of torque output is unchanged, although the torque peak is 200 rpm lower at 4,200 rpm.
Buyers can choose between a standard six-speed manual transmission and a seven-speed Porsche Doppelkupplungsgetriebe (PDK).
Look for the zero-to-62 mph sprint to occur about 0.1 seconds faster than a standard Carrera S – 4.2 seconds for a Carrera GTS Cabriolet with the available PDK transmission and the Sport Chrono Package Plus set to Sport Plus mode.
Fuel economy is unchanged from a standard Carrera GTS despite the mechanical changes.
The 911 Carrera GTS Cabriolet will be noticeable to bystanders thanks to a sports exhaust with two dual tailpipes. The GTS Cab takes the Carrera 4's 44 mm-wider body and adds it to the lighter rear-wheel-drive powertrain for a more performance-oriented driving experience.
In addition, the car features 19-inch RS Spyder wheels painted in high-gloss black. A SportDesign front lower apron includes a unique black spoiler that coordinates with black side skirts and a black rear diffuser between the exhaust pipes.
Inside, black Alcantara – a synthetic suede – lines the seat centers, steering wheel rim and gear lever.
As with the normal Cabriolet, all that is required to make the soft-top roof disappear is the touch of a button. In just 20 seconds, the roof folds beneath a cover.
The roof is made of high quality materials and features good insulation, making it functional for days when it has to be in its up position. Porsche claims this keeps the interior remarkably quiet, very close to sound levels in the car's fixed-roof coupe counterpart.
Those who live in harsh wintry climates may want to opt for the lightweight aluminum hard-top roof during the cold months. Painted in body color, it can be installed to enhance interior comfort (lower interior noise, better climate control), as well as structural rigidity. It has a heated rear glass window. When spring arrives, the hard-top can be removed.
The GTS Cabriolet almost qualifies as a bargain in the somewhat exorbitant world of Porsche pricing, featuring the punch of the aforementioned performance pack along with the widebody configuration and other exterior and interior upgrades-all for less than the price of the now defunct power pack.
Key Competitors
Rivals to the 911 GTS Cabriolet include high-powered drop-tops like the Jaguar XKR Convertible, the Audi R8 V10 Spyder and the Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG.
