Porsche Traction Management (PTM)

The all-wheel drive 911 GTS models combine high power output with optimum transmission of torque. Porsche Traction Management (PTM), the active all-wheel drive system, helps to ensure that the distribution of drive force is purposefully adapted to all kinds of road and weather conditions.

The electronically controlled and fully variable multi-plate clutch distributes drive force between the permanently driven rear axle and the front axle even faster and more precisely than ever before.

Sensors are used to collect a range of data, including the rotational speed of all four wheels, the lateral and longitudinal acceleration of the car and the current steering angle.

In this way, PTM, working in conjunction with Porsche Stability Management (PSM), reliably provides better-thanaverage traction and therefore excellent pulling power – particularly at the limits of sporty performance.

Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM)

PASM, the electronic damping control system, continuously adjusts the damping force on each wheel, based on current road conditions and driving style. In addition, the body sits 10 mm lower.

The 911 GTS Coupé models are equipped with PASM Sport Suspension. The body sits 10 mm even lower. The springs are harder and shorter, and the anti-roll bars on the front and rear axles are stiffer. The front spoiler lip is larger, and the rear spoiler extends even further.

Not only does this help to reduce lift at the front axle, it also acts to increase downforce at the rear axle. Improved aerodynamics represent another boost for performance – combined with a high level of comfort.

Rear axle steering

Rear axle steering is available for the new 911 GTS models on request to provide even greater performance and everyday practicality.

The advantage for day-to-day driving: during low-speed maneuvers, the system steers the rear wheels in the opposite direction to that of the front wheels. This reduces the turning circle and makes parking noticeably easier to manage.

The advantage for sporty driving: during high-speed maneuvers, the system steers the rear wheels in the same direction as that of the front wheels. This increases driving stability and agility – for maximum driving performance.

Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC)

PDCC – optional for the new 911 GTS models in conjunction with rear axle steering – is an active roll stabilization that suppresses lateral body movement during cornering maneuvers. In addition, it minimizes the lateral instability of the vehicle on uneven ground.

The results are improved dynamic performance, even more neutral handling and increased ride comfort – whatever the speed.

In simple terms, the tires and vehicle hold the road better and you can steer through corners faster and in a more relaxed manner. Which is why PDCC sets standards for driving performance, ride comfort – and driving pleasure.

Sport Chrono Package

The Sport Chrono Package enables an even sportier tuning of the chassis, engine and transmission – and launches you to unprecedented sporty heights.

The key component is the mode switch on the steering wheel, derived from the 918 Spyder. Without your hand having to leave the steering wheel, you can choose any of four settings: Normal, SPORT, SPORT PLUS and Individual. In this way, you can adapt the vehicle even more to the way you want to drive.

In combination with PDK, you benefit from three additional functions. The first is Launch Control, which can be used to achieve the best possible standing start.

The second function is the motorsport derived gearshift strategy. In this mode, PDK is geared up for extremely short shift times and optimum shift points for the maximum acceleration available.

The third function is SPORT Response. Pressing the button in the center of the mode switch primes the engine and transmission for the fastest possible unleashing of power. In other words, maximum responsiveness – for a period of 20 seconds. A timer graphic in the instrument cluster tells you how long is left.

Dynamic engine mounts are also part of the Sport Chrono Package. The electronically controlled system minimizes the perceptible oscillations and vibrations of the entire drivetrain, particularly the engine, and combines the benefits of a hard or soft engine mounting arrangement. In short, it enhances both driving stability and driving comfort.

The Sport Chrono Package now also includes the Porsche Track Precision App. This enables you to clock lap times and collate driving stats, record and manage the results on your smartphone and share them with other drivers for comparison. The app makes use of GPS and high-precision data from the on-board computer and helps you to better your driving performance. Graphical and video analyses display every millisecond of your potential for improvement. Lap after lap.

Chassis

Porsche Stability Management Sport (PSM Sport)

Porsche Stability Management (PSM) automatically maintains stability even at the limits of dynamic driving performance. In the new 911 GTS models, the upgraded version of PSM is supplemented by a ‘Sport’ mode. It allows a significantly more sporty driving style, with PSM remaining active in the background. To further enhance your driving experience.

Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV) und Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV Plus)

PTV (with manual transmission) or PTV Plus (with Porsche Doppelkupplung, PDK) is available as standard. Operating in conjunction with a rear differential lock, they work by intelligently braking the rear wheels as the situation demands.

When the car is driven assertively into a corner, moderate brake pressure is applied to the inside rear wheel. This induces an additional rotational pulse (yaw movement) around the vehicle’s vertical axis, which results in a direct and sporty steering action from the turn-in point.

With PTV, the rear differential lock is regulated mechanically, while PTV Plus is equipped with electronic control offering fully variable torque distribution. In interaction with Porsche Stability Management (PSM), the system provides better traction and greater driving stability not least on road surfaces with varying grip as well as in the wet and snow.

Front axle lift system

Particularly practical: the lift system, available as an option for your 911 GTS, raises the front end by approximately 40 mm (1.5 in) – and keeps it there up to a speed of approximately 37 mph. With this new system, curbs, ramps and parking lot entrances are a sporting challenge of the past.

Brakes

The front axle is equipped with red six-piston monobloc aluminium fixed brake calipers, and four-piston equivalents are fitted at the rear. The brake disc diameters are sized to match the increased power output of the engine: 350 mm at the front, 330 mm at the rear. For excellent stability and outstanding braking performance.

Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB)

Proven in motorsport, Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB) is available as an option. On the new 911 GTS models, the cross-drilled ceramic brake discs of PCCB have a diameter of 410 mm at the front and 390 mm at the rear – for even more formidable braking performance.

Originating from the 911 Turbo S, PCCB features six-piston monobloc aluminium fixed brake calipers on the front axle and four-piston units at the rear – all painted in yellow – to provide braking forces that are considerably more powerful and, crucially, are exceptionally consistent.

PCCB enables shorter braking distances in even the toughest road and race conditions. Safety under high-speed braking is also improved thanks to its excellent fade resistance. Another advantage of PCCB is the extremely low weight of the ceramic brake discs, which are approximately 50 % lighter than standard discs of a similar design and size. This results in better roadholding and increased comfort, particularly on uneven roads, as well as greater agility and a further improvement in handling.

Lights

Bi-Xenon(TM) headlights including Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS)

Fitted as standard, Bi-Xenon headlights feature a headlight cleaning system and dynamic cornering lights. The headlights are swivelled towards the inside of a bend, based on steering angle and road speed.

Not only do they offer excellent visibility, they also optimize appearance. Four-point LED daytime running lights are integrated into each headlight. The LED brake lights also have a four-point design. Together with the tinted three-dimensional taillights, they’re set to be one of the distinctive hallmarks of the new 911 GTS model range.

LED headlights in black including Porsche Dynamic Light System Plus (PDLS Plus)

Superior safety meets sporty design in the form of optional LED headlights in black including PDLS Plus. In addition to being efficient and long-lasting, LED technology also creates a light very similar to daylight and thus helps to reduce driver fatigue.

One special feature of PDLS Plus is the dynamic high 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 high beam function then adapts the headlight range accordingly. This continuous, seamless control means that you are able to see the course of the road, pedestrians and potential hazards earlier without hindering other road users.

Exterior

The front end is imposing. That’s down to the clear and, above all, functional use of form. Large air intakes increase the supply of air and underline the sportiness of each GTS model.

The lighting concept sets standards. Bi-Xenon headlights including Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS) impress with characterful four-point LED daytime running lights.

The center-lock wheels are the essence of pure motorsport. Painted in satin black, the 20-inch 911 Turbo S wheels boast outstanding roadholding and track performance thanks to their remarkable width. 20-inch Carrera S wheels with a 10-spoke design are available on request.

The rear end is even more muscular. It is 44 mm (1.7 in) wider than on the 911 Carrera S – a tangible plus for dynamic performance through every corner.

An eye-catching feature of the rear-wheel drive 911 Carrera GTS models: the accent trim between the tinted taillights. It’s finished in black, just like the centrally positioned twin tailpipes of the sport exhaust system – fitted as standard.

Exclusive to the all-wheel-drive models: the seamless LED light strip, characterized by powerful illumination, and an unmistakable design.

In short, every last detail has been harmoniously coordinated.For impressive performance. For an expressive appearance. For a sports car worthy of the GTS name.

Interior

What’s the use of inner drive without a clear objective? It’s all the more important to have an interior that lets you concentrate on the essentials. By giving you quick access to all the information you need while you’re driving.

A particularly sporty interpretation of this idea is the mode switch on the GT Sport steering wheel, which enables you to choose from four driving modes. Then there’s the clear arrangement of the five round instruments, and the intuitive way of operating Porsche Communication Management (PCM) including online navigation by multi-touch gestures.

The materials are exquisite and sporty in equal measure. The first indicator is the model logo in black on the door sill guard. Another is the use of racetrack proven Alcantara®. Particularly easy to grip, it lines the steering wheel rim and the gear lever/selector. And it is also found on the door pulls, the armrest on the door panels, the lid of the center console storage compartment and – in the Coupé models – on the roof lining.

The seat centers are also upholstered in Alcantara®. The headrests are additionally embroidered with the ‘GTS’ logo.

GTS Interior Package

Anything can be enhanced. Even things that are already top class. Proof: the optional GTS interior package, designed to add sporty contrasts.

The optional leather interior package with extensive items in Alcantara® includes accents in the contrasting color of Carmine Red or Rhodium Silver. The ‘GTS’ logos on the headrests are embroidered in the chosen contrasting color. As are various decorative seams and the ‘PORSCHE’ logo on the floor mats. The seat belts and the dial face of the tachometer are also finished in the contrasting color.

And it gets sportier still: with carbon fiber. This particularly lightweight material is used on the dashboard trim strips and doors, as well as on the center console. A touch of motorsport authenticity.

The GTS interior package lends the new 911 GTS models even greater functional and visual individuality. For your very own interpretation of sport. And your very own GTS.

Convenience

Instruments

Sporty not kitschy, practical not fanciful. The five round instruments have one purpose above all: to provide information. They do so efficiently and accurately with a styling that you would expect from Porsche, and a rev counter that’s right in the middle. With the ‘GTS’ logo on the dial. The instrument cluster with high-resolution 4.6-inch colour screen delivers a continuous stream of data from the on-board computer.

GT Sport steering wheel

In the new 911 GTS models, the GT Sport steering wheel is lined with nonslip Alcantara® for ultra sporty handling. The spokes are finished in black and the silver-colored inlays have been fastened with screws. Always ready: the mode switch, which enables you to choose from four driving modes – directly from the steering wheel.

The sporty action intensifies with optional Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK). The GT Sport steering wheel will come additionally equipped not only with two solid-alloy gearshift paddles, but also with the SPORT Response button on the mode switch, which primes the engine and transmission for maximum responsiveness for a full 20 seconds.

Seats

Sport seats Plus

Fitted as standard: Sport seats Plus, in leather with seat centers in Alcantara®. They offer electric seat height and backrest adjustment, as well as manual fore/aft adjustment.
