Henry Catchpole from Carfection reviews the Porsche 992.1 Carrera 4 GTS, calling it the 911 range’s “sweet spot.” The GTS adds visual flair with the Sport Design package, black badging, center-lock wheels, and a racing-yellow finish. More than aesthetics, it enhances the driving experience with a sports exhaust that amplifies the flat-six character, including turbo whistles, while remaining balanced and engaging.
Performance-wise, it gains 30 bhp and 15 lb-ft over the Carrera S, totaling 473 bhp and 420 lb-ft, paired with sport suspension, helper springs, and recalibrated PSM for sharper handling without compromising everyday comfort. Turbo-derived brakes, optional carbon-ceramic discs, and interior upgrades—Alcantara wheel, GTS stitching, and carbon trim—add refinement.
The GTS balances speed, sound, and handling, achieving 0–62 mph in 3.3 seconds, making it engaging yet practical. While it can’t match a GT3’s naturally aspirated engine, a rear-wheel-drive manual GTS with the upcoming lightweight package could get closer. Henry calls the GTS the ideal daily 911, offering four-wheel-drive security, thrilling sound, and precise dynamics, making it arguably the most satisfying all-around 911 in the 992 lineup.
