The iconic Porsche 911 has achieved a significant milestone with the launch of the new 2024 911 Carrera, especially the new GTS models. These versions are the first street-legal 911s to feature a super-lightweight performance hybrid powertrain. Exclusively available in the GTS models, this advanced powertrain promises exceptional driving dynamics, superior performance, and cutting-edge technology. Let’s explore the exciting features and innovations that make the new 992.2 911 Carrera GTS a standout in the sports car world.


Revolutionary Powertrain System


Enhanced Performance with a 3.6-Litre Boxer Engine

The heart of the new 911 Carrera GTS lies in its innovative powertrain system. This system features a 3.6-litre turbo flat-six engine that delivers 485hp and 570Nm of torque. The engine’s specifications are impressive, with a displacement that balances power and performance.


Electric Turbocharging for Instant Power

A key highlight of the new powertrain is the electric exhaust gas turbocharger. This component is designed to enhance the driving experience by providing instantaneous boost pressure, thanks to an integrated electric motor placed between the compressor and turbine wheel. The electric motor not only accelerates the turbocharger but also functions as a generator, producing up to 11 kW (15hp) of electric power. This innovative design eliminates the need for a wastegate, resulting in a more dynamic and responsive power delivery.


Lightweight and Powerful Hybrid System


T-Hybrid Technology


OVERVIEW_1024x659_A3_RGB.jpg


The T-Hybrid system in the 911 Carrera GTS is a testament to Porsche’s engineering prowess. It integrates a permanent magnet synchronous motor into a new, more powerful eight-speed dual-clutch transmission (PDK). This motor provides additional drive torque of up to 150 Nm and a power boost of up to 40kW (54hp), supporting the boxer engine even at idle speed. The compact high-voltage battery, which stores up to 1.9 kWh of energy and operates at 400 V, ensures that the hybrid system is both lightweight and efficient.


Performance Metrics

The combination of the electric motor and the 3.6-litre boxer engine results in a total system output of 541hp and 610Nm of torque. This powertrain enables the 911 Carrera GTS to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in less than 3.0 seconds, with a top speed of 312km/h. Despite its impressive performance, the hybrid system adds only 50 kilograms to the vehicle’s weight compared to its predecessor, showcasing Porsche’s commitment to efficiency and performance.

The only non-hybrid model Porcshe revealed is the base 911 Carrera but with turbos fitted with bigger blowers and intercoolers borrowed from the previous GTS models and Turbo S, which result in a bump of 6 horsepower over the outgoing model.

Design and Aerodynamics

Streamlined Exterior

Porsche has meticulously refined the exterior design of the 911 Carrera GTS to enhance its aerodynamics and performance. The sports car features new, model-specific bumpers and integrated matrix LED headlights, which eliminate the need for front driving lights and create space for larger cooling vents. The front end of the GTS models includes five vertically arranged active cooling air flaps and adaptive front diffusers that optimize airflow based on power requirements.


Aerodynamic Enhancements

The new 911 Carrera GTS models also feature a redesigned rear end with a light strip that includes an integrated arc and ‘PORSCHE’ logo, making the car appear deeper and wider. The rear grille with five fins per side connects to the rear window and integrates seamlessly with the retractable spoiler. The sports exhaust system is elegantly incorporated into the diffuser fins, with an optional aero kit available for those seeking even greater performance.


Interior and Connectivity


Driver-Centric Cockpit

Inside the 911 Carrera GTS, Porsche has created a fully digital cockpit designed for the modern driver. The standard two-seater configuration can be upgraded to a 2+2 layout at no extra charge. The Porsche Driver Experience control concept focuses on the driver’s axis, with essential controls arranged around the steering wheel for intuitive operation. A 12.6-inch curved display offers up to seven customizable views, including a Classic display inspired by traditional Porsche dials.


Advanced Connectivity


The Porsche Communication Management (PCM) system remains central to the car’s interior, featuring a high-resolution 10.9-inch central display. The new model offers enhanced connectivity options, including a simplified login process via QR code and deeper integration with Apple CarPlay. Drivers can now control vehicle functions through the Apple ecosystem and access native apps like Spotify and Apple Music directly from the PCM.


Suspension and Handling


Revised Suspension System

Porsche has significantly revised the suspension system of the 911 Carrera GTS to enhance its handling and stability. The inclusion of rear-axle steering as standard improves high-speed stability and reduces the turning circle. The Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC) anti-roll stabilization system, integrated into the high-voltage system, uses an electro-hydraulic control system for increased flexibility and precision. The sports suspension with a variable damper system (PASM) and lowered ride height ensures characteristic GTS handling.


Enhanced Wheels and Tires

The 911 Carrera GTS models come with a selection of seven 19-/20-inch or 20-/21-inch wheel designs. The new Exclusive Design wheels with carbon blades reduce drag and increase efficiency. The GTS models feature 21-inch rear wheels with a width of 11.5 inches and 315/30 ZR 21 tires, while the front wheels are 20-inch with 245/35 ZR 20 tires. This wider footprint enhances the driving dynamics and traction of the sports car.


The new 2024 Porsche 911 Carrera GTS represents a significant leap forward in the evolution of the iconic 911 series. With its innovative powertrain, advanced hybrid technology, streamlined design, and driver-centric features, the 911 Carrera GTS sets a new standard in the world of sports cars. Porsche has once again demonstrated its commitment to pushing the boundaries of performance, efficiency, and driving pleasure.
