Porsche has added 4 new models to complement its 911 range, all with the GTS moniker, including a Coupé and a Cabriolet, available with rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive.

According to the German automaker, the new 911s gets a little more power, modified chassis and some bespoke styling touches over their counterparts, the Carrera S models.

Power from the 3.8-litre 6-cylinder jumps 30hp to 424hp allowing the PDK double-clutch gearbox–equipped Coupe to hit 100km/h in 4.0 seconds and the Cabriolet in 4.2 seconds.

The top speed of each GTS model is over 300 km/h with the fastest model being the Coupe with a 7-speed manual and rear-wheel drive at 306 km/h. Porsche says fuel economy figures remain unchanged over the S models.

All versions feature Porsche’s Sport Chrono package, the PASM active damper system that lowers the car’s ride height by 10mm over the Carrera S, and a throatier sports exhaust system as standard feature.

The exterior of the new GTS models differs significantly from the other Carrera variants. All GTS versions are based on the 911 Carrera 4 body with flared rear wheel arches and a wider track. Also standard are 20-inch centre lock wheels, painted in an exclusive gloss black. Special trim elements and tinted Bi-Xenon headlights accentuate the front end, while black trim strips on the customized GTS air intake and black chrome-plated exhaust tailpipes distinguish the rear of the Carrera GTS models.

Inside, the seats and door panels are trimmed in a combination of Alcantara and leather, with the steering wheel and the headliner featured in Alcantara.
