MEET THE PORSCHE 911 CARRERA GTS

Choosing to snub the Paris Motor Show and beating the LA Auto Show by a month, Porsche has finally revealed the 2015 911 GTS. This model, designated to fit cozily between the Carrera S and the GT3, features its own range of four models: it will be offered in coupe and convertible format, with rear-wheel or all-wheel drive.The GTS is powered by Porsche's 3.8-liter flat-six, producing 424 horsepower – 30 more than the Carrera S. With a PDK dual-clutch, that moves the GTS from 0-62 mph in 4 seconds.

In the GTS Cabriolet, that same setup will get you to 62 mph in 4.2 seconds. Both will reach a top speed of 186 mph. That number rises to 190 when equipping the coupe or convertible with rear-wheel drive. The entire range is fitted with PASM active dampers, lowering ride height by 10 mm, and with the Sport Chrono package.Also included are interior components in Alcantara, bi-xenon headlights with Porsche Dynamic Lighting, and a sports exhaust system. The GTS features the Carrera 4's wider body, 20-inch matte black wheels, and black-accented air intakes, rear diffuser and rear decklid.The coupe starts at $114,000 and all-wheel drive comes at an extra $6K. Cabriolet models will begin at $126,100, with the Carrera 4 GTS adding another $4,800.Porsche says that the car is available with PDK transmission, but hasn't yet detailed which manual will be added to the lineup.
