The new GTS introduces hybrid technology, integrating a 1.9 kWh battery and an electric motor into the PDK gearbox, but lacks an electric-only range. Its 3.6-liter flat-6 engine delivers 533 BHP and 450 lb-ft of torque, aided by an electrically assisted turbocharger for instant response. However, the hybrid system adds...

Porsche 997 GTS Review Today, the 997 GTS is revered as one of the high water marks of the 911’s long career – but I take an alternative look at a car which I think has a lot to answer for....
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 Cabriolet featured the same wide body as the Carrera 4 Cabriolet. At the front, the sport design apron featured a black lip-spoiler underneath. 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.
It's not often Porsche creates an all-new model in their 911 lineup. But the 997 Carrera GTS is just that. It's faster, more powerful and better looking than any other model in the Carrera family.

The Porsche 911 Carrera GTS features a 3.8 litre flat-six engine which is tuned to develop 408 horsepower, that's 23 hp more than the Carrera S manages. Think of it as the perfectly optioned Carrera S for less money.
