Shmee150 Drives the Mighty Porsche 911 Carrera GTS (Video)

Can prospective buyers think of the GTS as a more relaxed and user-friendly GT3, or an amped-up and edgier 911?

There are many benefits to having 22 different models of one vehicle. The 911 Carrera can appease drivers who are looking for a comfortable Sunday car, as well those looking for a track-slaying demon. All you have to do is choose the Porsche 911 that best fits your needs.

The world’s most famous automotive vlogger is back with another Porsche video, and an attempt to do just that: help you choose the right 911 Carrera. Shmee150 gives us a thorough breakdown of the Porsche 911 GTS, which to many is the most “hardcore” 911 without crossing into GT3 non-sense. This particular GTS is finished in a stunning Carmine Red, and features a set of pricey black center-lock wheels.

Once inside, we can appreciate the excellent job Porsche always does with their interiors. Understated but extremely functional, this GTS’ center console, dash, and door panels are adorned with carbon fiber and aluminum. The steering wheel and seats also have alcántara inserts and red stitching.

Once Shmee150 heads out on the road, we’re reminded just how magnificent this 450-horsepower, rear-engine, rear-wheel drive sports car really is. One of our favorite features, which we’re sure is yours as well, is the active exhaust. At the click of a button, the driver is able to subdue the thunderous exhaust sounds for a more conservative approach. Such civility can be thrown out the window on the open road, when the sport setting blips the throttle automatically on downshifts, letting the world know a red Porsche 911 GTS is coming down the road.

Enjoy!
