At Porsche, sound will always
be crucial to the design concept.
The sports exhaust system is
characterised by audible and
also visible hallmarks: power ful,
resonant and unadulterated.
The tailpipes have a nanocoated,
polished finish on the inside, and
a black painted finish on the out
side. For contrast, the rear trim
panel between the tailpipes is
also finished in black. Whilst the 911 Carrera GTS
models are part of the 911 range,
they explore a dif ferent direc
tion. As an expression of this
individualit y, the air filter casing,
rear end, door sill guards and
doors all carry the ‘Carrera GTS’
logo.
The interior focuses on the
essentials. These models are
all about sport, so there is no
place for unnecessar y weight.
Such as the rear seats, which
we have deleted from the Coupé
model. If you think
differently, it
is available to order at no extra
cost. The three
spoke ‘SportDesign’
steering wheel is not only
standard, it is exclusive to the
new 911 Carrera GTS models.
It is both minimalist and func
tional, for even sportier appeal.
Materials are important. They
make a distinct first impression:
excellent functionality and
an authentic motorsport feel.
Alcantara – nonslip, washable
and easy to maintain – covers
the steering wheel, the gear
and handbrake levers, the seat
centres and, in the Coupé,
the rooflining. This material is
designed to cope with the
stresses of heav y use. Just
like the sports seats, which
of fer firm lateral support in any
driving situation.
The greatest challenger in sport
is, ultimately, oneself. This was
the starting point for our devel
opment of the 911 Carrera GTS
models. We have made them
leaner and more muscular, giv
ing a more distinctive contour.
