History says the very best everyday" 911 has a GTS badge on the back. It was true of the 997, and it was true of the pre-facelift 991.1. Not as hardcore as a GT3 or as fast as a Turbo, but as we said of the old car when we drove it in 2014, the GTS is generally the most "satisfying everyday Carrera you can buy". This is the new one the 991.2, with the controversial turbocharged 3.0-litre straight six. There are many variations. You can have a Coupe or Cabriolet with two- or all-wheel drive, or a Targa which is AWD-only. There"s a choice between seven-speed manual and PDK auto. Power is up to 444bhp, 30 more than a normal Carrera S and 20 more than you got from the old, naturally aspirated 991.1 GTS. Torque stands at 406lb ft. And they"re fast. The quickest accelerating GTS is a PDK Carrera 4, which hits 62mph from rest in 3.6 seconds. The quickest outright is a manual Carrera 2 GTS, with its top speed of 194mph. This is unnecessarily fast.
