Bridging the Gap Between Carrera S and GT3 The 2018 Porsche 911 Carrera GTS was designed to offer a balance between everyday usability and track-focused performance, sitting between the Carrera S and the track-ready GT3.
More Power Than a Standard Carrera S The 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged flat-six engine produces 450 horsepower (331 kW) and 550 Nm (406 lb-ft) of torque, which is 30 hp more than the Carrera S.
0-60 MPH in Just 3.4 Seconds When equipped with Porsche’s PDK dual-clutch transmission and Sport Chrono Package, the Carrera GTS can sprint from 0 to 60 mph (0-97 km/h) in just 3.4 seconds.
Available in Multiple Body Styles The GTS trim was offered in three body styles: Coupe, Cabriolet (convertible), and Targa 4 GTS, catering to different driving preferences.
Wider Body for Better Stability Unlike the standard Carrera, the GTS features the wider body of the all-wheel-drive models, even on rear-wheel-drive versions, enhancing handling and giving it a more aggressive stance.
Standard Sport Exhaust for a Deeper Sound The 2018 Carrera GTS comes standard with a sport exhaust system, providing a more aggressive and thrilling exhaust note compared to the base 911 models.
Performance-Focused PASM Suspension Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) comes standard on the GTS, lowering the car by 10 mm and improving handling for sharper cornering performance.
Center-Lock Wheels Like the 911 Turbo The GTS comes with 20-inch center-lock wheels, similar to the ones found on the Porsche 911 Turbo, reducing weight and improving track performance.
Minimalist, Motorsport-Inspired Interior Inside, the GTS features Alcantara upholstery, sport seats, and a driver-focused cockpit, with options for carbon fiber trim to emphasize its racing DNA.
A Favorite Among Enthusiasts The Carrera GTS has become a favorite among Porsche enthusiasts because it offers GT3-like performance with the comfort and daily usability of a Carrera.

The 991.2 GTS is the sweet spot of the 911 range—a 3.0L twin-turbo flat-six (450hp) with wide-body stance, PASM sport suspension, and rare manual option. A future classic that’s depreciated into "smart buy" territory.
