Two new top models with higher performance: Boxster GTS and Cayman GTS

Porsche Boxster GTS

With an uprated engine and excellent PASM chassis the Boxster GTS sets new benchmarks for sportiness in its segment. The independent front and a modified rear end, blackened bi-xenon headlights - with the Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS) as standard - and exterior lettering in silky black gloss are subtle yet unmistakable features of the new top model.

The name says it all: at Porsche "GTS" stands for Gran Turismo Sport and has promised outstanding Porsche performance ever since the legendary 904 Carrera GTS dating back to 1963. With the new two-seater Porsche is renewing its commitment to authentic sports cars for both the racetrack and everyday use.

Porsche Cayman GTS

The Cayman GTS is ready to go with an independent front and modified rear end, blackened bi-xenon headlights and 340 horsepower flat-six. The name says it all: at Porsche "GTS" stands for Gran Turismo Sport and has promised outstanding Porsche performance ever since the legendary 904 Carrera GTS dating back to 1963.

The Cayman GTS delivers 340 hp (250 kW) from its 3.4-liter flat-six. The torque has been increased by 8 lb-ft. What's more, the Sport Chrono package is a standard feature in the Cayman GTS. This means that in conjunction with the optional Doppelkupplungsgetriebe (PDK) and the active Sport Plus button, the Cayman GTS sprints from 0-60 mph in 4.4 seconds. It therefore sets new reference values.
