GTS<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
A Carrera GTS variant was introduced for the 997 generation, which adds even more power along with sportier traction and stability management systems for a sharper drive. Look for aerodynamic bumpers and blacked-out badges to tell a GTS from lower trims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
4<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
If you see a 911 that has a light bar connecting the taillight lenses, it\u2019s a \u201c4\u201d model, meaning all four wheels drive the car. Carrera, S, and GTS models can be had with this all-wheel drive option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
Targa<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The 911 is available in three body styles: coupe, convertible (cabriolet), or Targa. Coupes have hard roofs, and convertibles have cloth tops. Targas are sort of in between \u2014 they have a removable roof panel over the seats and a fixed rear windshield. No one is certain why Porsche makes a Targa to split between the other roof options, but it sure is cool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
Turbo<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The big bad 911 Turbo boosts the flat six with two turbos for massive power output that brings the 911\u2019s performance firmly into supercar territory (never mind that almost the entire modern 911 range is turbocharged \u2014 the capital \u201cT\u201d Turbo is special). The Turbo can be identified by big air intakes in front of the rear wheels and spoiler on the engine cover. Porsche also makes a Turbo S, which increases power and adds carbon ceramic brakes \u2014 look for yellow brake calipers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
GT3<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The GT3 is the track-focused 911. In an era of forced induction, the GT3 retains a high-revving naturally aspirated motor (no turbocharging). GT3s wear ground-scraping bumpers and a sizable rear wing, which help it stay planted on a racetrack. For staunch 911 purists, the GT3 Touring eschews the lightning-fast dual clutch transmission for a good ol\u2019 six speed manual. This is a rare and special car, meant to celebrate the classic elements of what makes the 911 great.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
GT3 RS<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
If the GT3 simply isn\u2019t enough, the GT3 RS will satisfy all your racecar desires. This road-going track day monster gets more power than the GT3, a roll cage, and massively noticeable styling. Look for the giant rear wing, vents, and scoops, which work to increase aerodynamics even further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
GT2 RS<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Finally, at the top of the 911 range is the mighty GT2 RS. This extreme machine is about speed at all costs, and looks the part. It has similar exterior features to the GT3 RS, like the huge wing and aero vents, but has unique front and rear bumpers that further optimize airflow. With a turbocharged 700 horsepower engine out back, it needs a lot of air to keep things cool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
With so many variants of what\u2019s essentially the same car, the 911 range is complex and confusing. However, Porsche\u2019s ability to diversify the platform and make a 911 for every interest is a key element of the car\u2019s popularity. From droptop boulevard cruisers to racetrack crushing supercars, each 911 is an icon that remains unique amongst competitors. Just don\u2019t expect the range to become any simpler: hybrid and all-electric versions are rumored for the future\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n
