2012 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 GTS 6-Speed Cabriolet: Made available for the 2011 and 2012 model years, it's reported that 6,747 examples are said to have been produced, while the 2012 model year designated GTS was the only model year to have received the all-wheel-drive variant with approximately 957 of those units having been designated as Carrera 4 GTS convertibles. Reportedly, only 123 4 GTS convertibles would make it to the U.S. and out of those 123 examples, around 27 would be manual operated.
Exalting performance parameters tied in with acute 911 GT-esque dynamism whilst encapsulated by assertive athleticism and acoustically defined by an adrenaline expelling exhaust note, uniformly unite to shape the spirit and personality of the expressively exhilarant GTS. With the top lowered, the GTS' contagious charisma becomes even more obvious as the raw yet sensuous sound of 408 horses escapes into the atmosphere and unobstructedly swims through the canals of your ears, and "somehow" manages to convince your brain in motioning your right foot to apply more pressure to the gas pedal and you do it, willingly, without hesitation, while the smile that's cultivated from this phenomenon ventures far beyond its native position.
Specified in Basalt Black, situated on RS Spyder Design wheels while sporting a Black Interior W/ Alcantara inserts and a soft top finished in black. Displays a Clean CARFAX Report and shows an odometer reading of A very low 14,XXX Miles.
The GTS is the last of the high horse powered, naturally-aspirated, right-sized, and classic-svelte-911-shaped 911 Carreras. Positioned in-between the GT3 and the S models, the GTS variant is the absolute pinnacle in the 911 Carrera range! Its standard features include (but are not limited to) a wider rear track; Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM); a variable resonance intake system (mid-rev range torque adder); Integrated dry-sump lubrication; and a Sports exhaust system. Though lively-natured, it's also very livable with daily practicality in mind. With the GTS, you're able to have an encounter with a Carrera in its most effervescently exploited form and the cabriolet's intimacy with the open-air deepens the emotive impact that the GTS imparts on its driver.
