Distinguishing these models from their non-GTS-badged stablemates, the GTS derivatives are fitted with a range of model-specific design elements. This includes a revised front end, replete with larger air intakes; dark-tinted head- and taillamps; and red brake callipers, housed within 21-inch RS Spyder-design alloy wheels, which are finished in anthracite grey. “GTS” lettering can also be found on the bodywork. An array of gloss black finishes are also present. Customers also have the option of specifying one of three lightweight sports packages.
Stepping inside, the GTS variants’ cabins are trimmed in Race-Tex material. This suede-like fabric has been applied to the roof lining, armrests, door panels and on at the centre of the eight-way electrically-adjustable front seats. The GTS further features Porsche’s latest digital instrument cluster and touchscreen infotainment system. A fixed panoramic sunroof is included in the package.
