Porsche 991.2 Carrera GTS (2017/17)
SOLD
In 2010 as a farewell to the current 911 997 model line, Porsche reinstated the GTS acronym to the range. Building on the already very capable Carrera S, the GTS borrowed parts from the motorsport division to further enhance its sporting credentials whilst at the same time maintaining the usability and everyday practicality that the full fat GT cars sacrificed in pursuit of outright performance. With a modest power increase, the wide-track body previously reserved only for the all-wheel-drive and motorsport cars as well as a series of cosmetic tweaks, the end package made the GTS a truly formidable car both on road and track.
Roll on 7 years and the launch of the latest GTS model, the 991.2 Carrera GTS. Utilising the same formula as its 997 predecessor, the 991.2 GTS makes do with a 30bhp power gain from its 3 litre twin turbo flat six over the Carrera S along with the usual chassis and styling tweaks. The end result is a driver’s car that beautifully plugs a hole in the Porsche model line by balancing potent performance in a usable road car.

INVESTMENT THESIS

Having covered 18,200 from new with full Porsche service history and extended Porsche warranty, this is a perfect example of one of Porsche finest driver’s cars.
The options list is extensive featuring the alcantara and GTS interior packages, BOSE sound system, electric glass sunroof, park assist with reversing camera, heated steering wheel, light design package, speed limit display and cruise control. This is in addition to the very comprehensive options fitted as standard on the car such as Porsche Active Suspension Management. The car also benefits from front end PPF being installed from new.
One of the great features of the Carrera GTS is its versatility. The remarkably smooth and easy to use 7-speed manual gearbox combined with the supple suspension makes it well placed for daily use however it is when you get the chance to stretch its legs that you realise what a truly capable sports car the GTS is. The twin turbo flat six howls as you stretch it up the rev range and combined with the brilliantly responsive chassis the car has a beautifully predictable character that encourages a driver’s confidence.
As more and more sportscar manufacturers shift away from manual gearboxes, now is the perfect time to get your hands on one of the last iconic manual 911s before they disappear from the mainstream.
