2015 - Porsche 911 type 991 Carrera GTS coupé French registration Chassis n°WPOZZZ99ZGS110497 - Sought-after 991 generation and interesting GTS version between S and GT3 - 430 hp Phase 1 with two-wheel drive and 4-seat configuration - Excellent condition, specific GTS equipment, numerous options including PDK gearbox - Total of less than 49,700 kms with Porsche maintenance up to date from 2023 Launched in October 2014, the 991 Carrera GTS, for Gran Turismo Sport, is an intermediate model between the S and the GT3. The price-equipment-performance ratio is more attractive than that of the S version, and at the same time it's more versatile than the more performance-oriented GT3. Down to the smallest detail, the 991 GTS takes care of its aesthetics by adding black accents to the front bumper, the wheels, a small transverse strip between the rear lights, a specific grille and a small monogram at the bottom of the doors, as well as adopting the wider bodywork of the Carrera 4. The interior, covered in leather and alcantara, from the seats and Sport Design steering wheel to the gearshift lever, handles and armrests, is also meticulously finished. What's more, this series' standard equipment also includes the famous Chronosport pack and adjustable sports seats with GTS stitching for an even more exclusive look. As for the engine, the 991 S's naturally-aspirated 3.8L flat-six features the X51 kit, which boosts GTS power to 430 hp at 7,500 rpm, with a particularly pleasant sound thanks to the sports exhaust fitted as standard on this version. The GTS also benefits from the patented PTV (Porsche Torque Vectoring) system, which regulates power to the rear wheels to ensure that this formidable machine holds the road well. A 7-speed manual gearbox is fitted as standard, while the excellent PDK7 gearbox is available as an option. Unquestionably sportier and more refined than a "basic" 991, without being too extreme, the 991 GTS, with its naturally-aspirated engine and enhanced power output, is undoubtedly the most versatile version. As such, it's a sure bet both in use and as a collector's item! The 911 type 991 on offer is precisely this GTS version, in its 4-seat, two-wheel drive (Carrera) coupé variant, with 430 hp (phase 1). In addition to the version-specific equipment described above, this model comes with a range of options, including the much sought-after PDK7 dual-clutch gearbox, PASM sports chassis, large 90-liter fuel tank, cruise control, HomeLink and Porsche Entry & Drive, as well as the comfort pack, brushed aluminum interior pack and smoker's pack. Picked up directly from the Zuffenhausen factory, this 991 GTS was put on the road in Germany on September 8, 2015. It suffered mechanical damage immediately in the weeks following delivery, leading to the replacement of its engine, certainly under warranty, as early as the following month, in October 2015 by Porsche's Hofheim center near Frankfurt am Main. It was then serviced by the same center and ran until the end of 2017, before obviously being put away for a few years, and finally arriving in France in 2023 in the hands of its current owner. He then had the brake pads replaced outside the network and had the necessary oil change carried out at the Porsche center in Arpajon in February last year (2023), at just over 40,000 kms. In silver metallic with black and grey leather and alcantara interior, this 991 GTS is as sober as it is elegant, perfectly in tune with the spirit of the model. With just under 49,700 kms on the clock, the car is in excellent condition. All the more so as it has already received a complete paint job to ensure that its appearance remains optimal. It's also in perfect working order, and its latest MOT, dated July 8, is clean. It is sold with a spare set of keys and a copy of the owner's maintenance invoices, as well as the history recorded in the brand's software. A 911 that's both sporty and civilized, the 991 GTS enjoys a veritable love affair with Porsche enthusiasts, all the more so in a configuration like this one. So treat yourself and make a wise investment with this worthy representative of the Porsche dream.
