2010 PORSCHE 911 Carrera GTS (997) 3.8L 6MT (408 HP)

Vehicle Overview

The Carrera GTS lineup was placed between the Carrera S and the Turbo range. It was the Porsche Turbo without turbochargers, and it was available as a rear-wheel-drive only.

The GTS was powered by the same engine that was installed under the limited-edition Porsche 911 Sport Classic, but it was offered with more options. It wasn’t just a driver’s car, it was built for the passenger as well, with more options for comfort.

From the outside, the Carrera GTS featured the same wide body as the Carrera 4. At the front, the sport design apron featured a black lip-spoiler underneath. On the sides, the sills featured the same black low side. The Carrera GTS logo was painted on the doors. In the back, the car was fitted with LED taillights and four-round exhaust pipes. The 19” light-alloy wheels with central log-nut were fitted as standard.

Inside, the Carrera GTS was not an empty shell. It was fitted with comfort features and with a choice of seats, but all of them were sport-oriented with bolstering on the outside. The three-spoke steering wheel was upholstered in Alcantara and behind there were the paddle-shifters for the PDK gearbox.

The 3.8-liter engine was the same as the one offered on the Sport Classic edition. It was a 3.8-liter unit tuned to offer 405 hp, which was more than what the GT3 offered. It was paired as standard to a 6-speed manual, while a 7-speed PDK (double-clutch) automatic gearbox was on the options list.
