It doesn’t just attract glances.
It turns them into gazes.
Exterior design.
At Porsche, design has always been about
much more than good looks. Design has
always had a function, too. Only then does
it possess genuinely captivating power,
and hold the admirer under its spell.
We’ve given the new 911 Targa 4 GTS
every thing that a sports car needs for
captivating appeal: a powerful front, a
broad rear, a sharpened design. And
Carmine Red paint work, which – with the
GTS – is available as an option for the
911 models for the very first time. And
brings into prominence those elements
of the exterior finished in black. The sport y design of the front apron is
clear to see – yet pared down to the
essentials. Aerodynamics are excellent
thanks to the optimised front spoiler,
while large air intakes ensure the supply
of fresh air is maximised.
Typical of a GTS are the Bi-Xenon main
headlights including the Porsche Dynamic
Light System (PDLS) in black as well as
SportDesign exterior mirrors, all of which
are fit ted as standard.

Brakes.
The front axle features red, six-piston
aluminium monobloc fixed brake calipers
while the rear wheels are equipped with
four-piston equivalents. The brake disc
diameter is 340 mm at the front and
330 mm at the rear. The results are
enhanced stability and excellent
braking performance.
Available as an option is the track-proven
Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake
(PCCB). The cross-drilled ceramic brake
discs all have a diameter of 350 mm.
The use of six-piston aluminium monobloc
fixed brake calipers at the front and four-
piston units at the rear – all finished in
yellow – ensures extremely high brake
forces which, crucially, are exceptionally
consistent. The demands of racetrack use mean
that additional maintenance tasks
will be required alongside the routine
maintenance work scheduled as part
of standard maintenance intervals.
Bi-Xenon main headlights including
Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS).
Bi-Xenon main headlights in black with
dynamic range control and a headlight
cleaning system are a standard feature.
Even greater visibilit y is provided by the
dynamic cornering lights in the Porsche
Dynamic Light System (PDLS). It swivels
the headlights towards the inside of a
bend, based on steering angle and
road speed.
The smoked LED front light units
incorporate direction indicators, daytime
running lights and position lights.
LED main headlights including Porsche
Dynamic Light System Plus (PDLS +
).
Superior safety, sporty design: LED main
headlights with PDLS +
are available as
optional equipment. Integrated into each
headlight housing are four LED spots
for the daytime running lights and one
LED light ring.
In addition to being efficient and durable,
LED technology also creates a light very
similar to daylight and thus helps to
reduce driver fatigue. One special feature of PDLS
+
is the
dynamic main beam function. A camera
detects the lights of vehicles ahead as
well as those of oncoming traffic. Based
on the data from the camera, the
dynamic main beam function then adapts
the headlight range accordingly. This
continuous, stepless control means that
you are able to see the course of the
road, pedestrians and potential hazards
earlier without hindering other road users.
Nothing against aesthetic minimalism,
but here we’re radical maximalists.
Safety.
