We thought the Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0 was going to be the last version produced for the outgoing 997 model, which will be replaced with 991, Porsche proved us wrong again by introducing yet another version of the 991. This time it’s the Porsche 911 Carrera 4 GTS, which is based on the Carrera GTS with the addition of the four-wheel-drive system. The Carrera 4 GTS will be available in either a couple or cabriolet format.
The Porsche 911 Carrera 4 GTS is powered by a 3.8 liter boxer six cylinder engine that’s capable of producing 408 horsepower at 7,300 rpm and 310 pound-feet (420 Nm) of torque between 4,200 and 5,600 rpm. The Carrera 4 GTS coupe sprints to 62 mph in 4.6 seconds while the cabriolet is 0.2 seconds slower, both models come standard with a 6-speed manual transmission, these times are identical to the Carrera GTS. 0.2 seconds can be shaved off the 0 – 62 mph time with the addition of the optional 7-speed PDK transmission on both the coupe and cabriolet models.
Visual upgrades to the 911 Carrera 4 GTS include a red reflective stripe on the back between the taillights, a black chin spoiler and side skirts, black 19” RSR Spyder wheels, and the addition Carrera 4 GTS badges to the doors, door sills, trunk and the engine cover.
The interior is upgraded with Alcantara covered seats, steering wheel, door panels, hand brake, gear lever, and the bottom half of the dashboard.
The Porsche 911 Carrera 4 GTS will go on sale in Germany in July and the United States in the fall. Prices start at €111,956 (or about $159,700 at today’s exchange rate) for the coupe and €122,071 ($174,150) for the cabriolet in Germany. Prices in the US start at $110,200 for the coupe and $120,000 for the cabriolet.
