PORSCHE 911 Carrera GTS Cabriolet (997) 2010-2011 Photos, engines & full specs

The Carrera GTS lineup was placed between the Carrera S and the Turbo range. It was the Porsche Turbo without turbochargers, and it was available as a rear-wheel-drive only and as a convertible.

The GTS was powered by the same engine that was installed under the limited-edition Porsche 911 Sport Classic, but it was offered with more options. It wasn't just a driver's car, it was built for the passenger as well, with more options for comfort.

From the outside, the Carrera GTS Cabriolet featured the same wide body as the Carrera 4 Cabriolet. At the front, the sport design apron featured a black lip-spoiler underneath. On the sides, the sills featured the same black low side. The Carrera GTS logo was painted on the doors. In the back, the car was fitted with LED taillights and four-round exhaust pipes. The 19” light-alloy wheels with central log-nut were fitted as standard.

Inside, the Carrera GTS Cabriolet was not an empty shell. It was fitted with comfort features and with a choice of seats, but all of them were sport-oriented with bolstering on the outside. The three-spoke steering wheel was upholstered in Alcantara and behind there were the paddle-shifters for the PDK gearbox. For the infotainment unit, Porsche installed the PCM (Porsche Communication Management), with iOS compatibility. For Android users, the car-manufacturer offered a special application. The power-roof could open or close the top in 20 seconds at speeds up to 50 kph (31 mph).

The 3.8-liter engine was the same as the one offered on the Sport Classic edition. It was a 3.8-liter unit tuned to offer 405 hp, which was more than what the GT3 offered. It was paired as standard to a 6-speed manual, while a 7-speed PDK (double-clutch) automatic gearbox was on the options list.
