The Porsche 911 GTS Cabriolet Is Summer Performance

The Porsche 911 has stuck mostly true to its origins over the years. Sure, it’s now turbocharged, larger, and liquid-cooled, but it’s still hanging the flat-six engine out of its rear and hasn’t departed far from its familiar shape. Most importantly, the 992-generation Porsche 911 is still fun to drive.

Adding to that fun, the Porsche 911 GTS squeezes some extra performance out of the 3.0-liter engine and sends 473 hp and 420 lb-ft of torque to the rear wheels by way of a seven-speed manual transmission or Porsche’s dual-clutch PDK. The extra oomph joins the 911 GTS’s retuned suspension, 911 Turbo brakes, and slight weight savings over a standard Carrera. If you want open-air summer fun, Porsche also offers its GTS in a cabriolet shell.
