1. Carrera GTS

All of the GTS models will perform to 450 horsepower coming from the new 3.0-liter turbo flat-six. Straight from the headlong horse's mouth, the cars will hit 0-60 in 3.4 seconds and will have a top speed of 193 mph.

2. Carrera GTS Cabriolet

Cabriolet is a fancy French word that was first used in the 18th century referring to a horse-drawn carriage with a folding fabric roof. With that being said, here is the fabric-roofed 911 for one of the two crowds that wish to let more light into their drive.

3. Carrera 4 GTS

This version of the Carrera GTS comes with some sweet, sweet all-wheel drive to put the power down to the road. All GTS vehicles will come with a standard manual seven-speed gearbox with a PDK dual-clutch unit available as an option for those who desire it. With these new GTS models hitting showrooms in April, all 2017 911 models have been bumped up in performance to 991.2 specs. These changes include an updated chassis, aero, and a tweaked twin-turbo flat-six engine.

4. Carrera GTS Convertible

We discussed where the term Cabriolet came from in a previous slide, but now we'll go through what sets a Convertible apart. The term is a more recent thing that means exactly what the root of the word is; a car that converts from having a roof to one without.

5. Targa 4 GTS

If you couldn't decide between a coupe Carrera and a roofless version, then most likely the Targa is your cup of tea. Porsche has made things so much easier for owners who want to enjoy the sunshine by giving the Targa a lower-back saving electric lift-away roof. However, like the other GTS cars, the Targa has not been bumped up to the 991.2 spec.
