  • Available to order now for 2022 arrival

Porsche has announced its new 2022 911 GTS will be on its way to Australia – adding five new variants into the 911 family mix.

Occupying the space between ‘regular’ 911 Carrera variants and faster Turbo and GT3 models from Porsche’s GT division, the GTS is being offered locally as a coupe or cabriolet. Both bodystyles are also available in both rear-wheel and all-wheel drive while the Targa 4 GTS is an all-wheel drive offering only.

The 2022 GTS is powered by an up-rated version of the Carrera S’s twin-turbo flat-six, producing 353kW and 570Nm of torque. That is a 22kW/20Nm gain over both the 992 S and previous-gen 991 GTS, allowing the car to reach 100km/h in a claimed 3.3 seconds.

Porsche’s eight-speed PDK dual-clutch auto remains as standard across the new model range, though a seven-speed manual gearbox is now a no-cost option for the rear-wheel drive GTS coupe.

This is the first time customers will be able to purchase a non-GT3 992 911 with three pedals in Australia.

Suspension in the GTS is based on that of the 911 Turbo, while the brake package has also been lifted from the higher-spec car.

A ‘Lightweight Design Package’ is a new option for the GTS, which should be available to order from late 2021, and will shear 25 kilograms from the car. Most notably, this package sees the removal of the back seat as well as carbon-fibre reinforced plastic bucket seats and lighter side-window glass.

The car features exterior blackouts characteristic of the GTS model, including the spoiler lip, light surrounds, and 911 Turbo-derived wheels.

This theme is carried over to the interior, which features microfibre trim and GTS embroidery. Insulation has been reduced for louder cabin acoustics.

Standard equipment for the GTS includes a GT Sport steering wheel with Porsche’s Sport Chrono digital timer package, plus the Track Precision app and tyre temperature display.
