i wonder when allocations will start coming out?

cajerseyboy

My dealer already has a .2 GTS Targa allocation. Spoke with my SA a few days ago.

My .1 GTS is on a lease that ends in 14 months so I was considering discussing it more with him since I could get out of my lease at any point within 12 months of its end date, no penalty.

Place the . 2 order now and in March/April (estimate) turn mine in and have a nice new GTS with melt your face off torque.

I quickly came to my senses when I walked into my garage and checked out my .1 GTS. It's perfect in every way and I will likely hold onto her after the lease period concludes. After all, how fast do I really need to go!?!?

I must admit though, I was tempted...

According to MT: The GTS treatment is available on the rear-drive 911 Carrera GTS Coupe ($120,050) and 911 Carrera GTS Cabriolet ($132,350), and the all-wheel-drive 911 Carrera 4 GTS Coupe ($126,950), 911 Carrera 4 GTS Cabriolet ($139,250), and 911 Targa 4 GTS ($139,250).

The GTS will NOT be cheaper. Porsche is not stupid and gives nothing away. All of the standard items in the GTS can be ordered with a C4S except the 30hp difference, black wheels, and GTS logo. The stated price already includes these in the price. If you were to order a C4S with the same items, including SPASM, SportDesign Package (front and rear GTS facias), and Spyder wheels, the only main difference would be 30hp and black wheels. The GTS would still be significantly more to account for it.

Porsche gives nothing away.

With GTS you can get the widebody rear drive. Only way to get it.

Centerlocks and Alcantara exclusive to GTS too.

The X51 powerkit will soon be an option for the C2S's.

There is a small savings with the bundled packages on the GTS vs. going all ala carte

Not same body as C4S?

STG

Yes same body, but only way to get "rear drive only" on a widebody is the GTS. The C4S is AWD.

Obviously there is a 4 GTS as well!

STG

The .2 GTS has a new front bumper and rear spoiler too. Overhangs a bit and extends up higher.

Yes, so the GTS is only unique with the rear wheel drive version. The only real difference between a 4GTS and C4S is 30hp, factory delivered black wheels, and the badge. The price difference compared to a comparably equipped C4S (including SPASM, SportDesign packages, Spyder wheels) is ~$15,000. That's a big difference for 30hp, black wheels, and GTS badge.

So, there may be value with the rear wheel drive GTS, but the only reason to get a 4 GTS is...well, 30hp and GTS badge.

To each his own. Or should I say, do your homework first.

STG

Plus new Sport Design package (front bumper and rear spoiler), centerlock wheels, and X51 package.

Worth the upcharge $$$

babyjocko

As I mentioned, this is the SportDesign package that can be ordered as an option on the Carrera, Only the 450hp is truly unique to the GTS. In fact, your pic shows it on a C2S.

Call it Porsche marketing.

STG

Yes, but extra $$$ as an option on the Carrera. Standard on the GTS.

Marketing or whatever. It's the car business.

A GTS is a sum of parts pretty much with some cosmetics. Nothing new. Still a great package.

BTW, much better than this "hot stuff" (in more than one way).

ipse dixit

The GTS is just the Porsche equivalent of the McDonald's Value Meal.

No need for anyone to get worked about it one way or the other.

STG

And the GT cars are the Porsche equivalent of the Birkin Bag. Nothing new.
