991 GTS Cabrio Spy Shots



"Porsche, in their effort to make a 911 for every possible buyer, have been fiddling around with a more powerful version to fit between the Carrera 4S and the Turbo. Together with the very early face lift of the entire 911 range, Porsche will introduce new turbocharged engines for all variants but two: the GT3 and the car above."

I'm not so sure that one shown isn't a turbo model of some kind; there are vents below on the rear fenders. I wonder what introducing turbos to the Carrera S will do...could be good, could be bad and send purists into an outrage.

I may be extremely late to this party, but is it true that the 991.2 will have turbo engines for the Carrera range? I thought we weren't expecting them this soon...

I bet what we're looking at here is a 2015 or 2016 Carrera S 991.2 facelifted car with a reduced displacement turbo engine (say, 3.0 or 3.2 litres) pumping out about 420 hp.

Could be awesome!

A rear wheel drive, 7MT, turbo-charged 911 Carrera S for a lot less money than a 'real' 911 Turbo!

It reminds me of the old 930's. I'll take one.
