New Porsche 911 GTS Cabrio Spotted

Today we receive another bit of news that will make the purists cringe, regardless if the end result is a faster and more efficient sports car. It seems (this is all still just rumors until confirmed) that Porsche will introduce new turbocharged engines for all upcoming 911 variants but two – the GT3 and GTS. The latter is what you see in our exclusive spy-shots: the all-new 911 GTS Cabrio.

Photographed for the first time today, the GTS will receive a detuned version of the GT3’s future 3.8-liter motor, and will power-wise slot between the to-be-turbocharged 911 Carrera S and the more potent range-topping 911 Turbo variants.

The radical change in Porsche’s engine line-up will be as much a revolution as was the shift from air to water-cooled power-plants some twenty years ago. The reasons, however, are the same: reduction of fuel consumption.
