Other visual features include the
SportDesign front apron with black spoiler edge, special
sideskirts, also in black, and the Carrera GTS logotype on doors
and rear lid, in black or silver depending on the body color.
The area between the two tailpipes in the rear is also black. In
combination with the standard interior color "black Alcantara",
the center sections of the driver and passenger sport seats are
covered with black Alcantara and the high-quality Alcantara is
also used wherever driver and passenger come in direct contact
with the interior, like on the rim of the new three-spoke
SportDesign steering wheel and on the gear and handbrake levers.
More Power - Quicker Acceleration
-
Same Fuel Economy
Detailed attention was paid to the
intake and exhaust functions in the 3.8-liter flat-six engine
that now delivers 408 hp: A special resonance intake manifold
featuring six vacuum-controlled tuning flaps switch between
power and torque-optimized geometry compared to the Carrera S
power unit with only one tuning flap. This allows for increased
torque in the mid-rev range. Maximum torque of 310 lb. ft. (420
Nm) is unchanged, but is available at 4,200 rpm; 200 rpm earlier
when compared with the Carrera S. Additionally, a sport exhaust
system with two dual-tipped tailpipes with their outer shells
painted black with polished inner tubes comes standard.
The Carrera GTS comes standard
with a six-speed manual transmission with the seven-speed
Porsche Doppelkupplungsgetriebe (PDK) available. In comparison
with the Carrera S, top track speed for manual transmission
Coupe rises by two mph to 190 (306 km/h). Acceleration from zero
to 60 is 4.0 seconds for the GTS Coupe with PDK and Sport Chrono
Package Plus. And the new Carrera GTS will offer fuel economy of
up to 19 mpg city / 27 mpg highway.
In the U.S., the 911 Carrera GTS
Coupe and Cabriolet will be available beginning in early 2011
and MSRP will be $103,100 and $112,900 respectively.
