The 2012 Porsche 911 Carrera GTS Coupe (997.2 generation) blends the wider bodywork of the Carrera 4S with rear-wheel-drive dynamics and enhanced performance. It is powered by a 3.8-liter naturally aspirated flat-six engine, factory rated at 408 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque—23 hp more than the Carrera S. Power is delivered to the rear wheels through a seven-speed PDK dual-clutch transmission and a limited-slip differential. A factory sport exhaust system adds emotional depth to the drive.

Exterior Features
Finished in Carrara White, the Carrera GTS features a revised front apron with larger air intakes, black front lip spoiler, black side skirts, and a black rear diffuser. Additional highlights include bi-xenon headlights, LED taillights, quad exhaust outlets, a speed-activated rear spoiler, and a power sunroof. It rides on black 19' RS Spyder center-lock alloy wheels with Bridgestone tires and red Porsche-branded four-piston calipers over 13″ cross-drilled and vented rotors.

Suspension & Handling
Equipped with Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM), Porsche Stability Management (PSM), and an automatic brake differential (ABD), the GTS delivers agile handling and a composed ride in all conditions.

Interior & Technology
The interior features 12-way power-adjustable heated and ventilated front seats upholstered in black leather. Amenities include a Bose surround-sound audio system, cruise control, and Porsche Communication Management (PCM) 3.0 with extended navigation. The leather-wrapped SportDesign steering wheel fronts a 200-mph speedometer, a central tachometer with a 7,400-rpm redline, and auxiliary gauges. The optional Sport Chrono Package Plus includes a Carrara White-dialed dash-mounted chronograph.
