Porsche is a firm that needs no introduction. Its sporty essence has accompanied the dreams of car lovers since the beginning of its time. The quarantine has forced to keep that passion dormant, watching from a distance as the new Porsche 911 Turbo S was presented . The most luxurious and sensory version of the family declares 650 hp , 70 more than the previous generation. The price of happiness, made body, part of the 249,963 euros and its benefits are simply outrageous. The Eden of the automobile will continue to remain for a few. For the rest, Porsche continues to develop models that border on perfection. An example of this are the new GTS versions of the Porsche Macan, 718 Cayman and 718 Boxster.
The acronym GTS (Gran Turismo Sport) represents sensory purity with the daily skills of a sports car. These variants are responsible for giving an extra ‘racing’ touch to already round models. The first Porsche to incorporate this designation was the 904 GTS of 1963 . The tradition continues with the sole objective of providing an extra power compared to the S models, staying just below the more radical units of the Stuttgart family. The Porsche Macan GTS mounts the 380 hp 2.9-liter biturbo engine , while the 718 GTS opts for the 400 hp 4.0-liter naturally aspirated six-cylinder boxer.
The data on paper makes it clear that these are powered units, but the engineers’ work goes much further. The sporting spirit carries over into the chassis setup, which incorporates stiffer components and advanced systems like Adaptive Suspension (PASM) with a lowered chassis. The Macan GTS is up to 15 millimeters lower than the S versions and the 718 GTS 4.0 lowers its ground clearance by up to 20 millimeters . This detail may seem superficial but nothing is further from the truth. Once you get behind the wheel of a Porsche, the sensations become a priority, a feeling that is activated in your head from the first look at it. The GTS have specific details such as darkened headlights , dimensioned and enamelled wheels in black , anagrams and tailpipes in black.
