The GTS is here, surely this is not the end of 991 generation already !
Could this 991 Generation GTS be a bit more than just a Carrera S with all of the options ticked ?
and it's got the rear styling from last years 911-50 Anniversary edition...

Here's the new-for-2015, brawnier Porsche 911 Carrera GTS, unveiled in four different guises for the latest 991 family. All sport the Carrera 4S's wide-hipped bodyshell for a more aggressive stance and extra power to justify prices nudging into six-figure territory.
Porsche's GTS badge stands for Gran Turismo Sport and has come to denote some of our favourite models in Stuttgart's line-up in recent years. Traditionally, the 911s, Boxsters and Caymans to emerge with GTS badges come with extra kit and laser focus with only a modest price rise compared with the totted-up cost of extras on the options list.
So what do you get on the new Porsche 911 GTS?
Four models will be available: a 911 coupe or cabriolet, both offered in Carrera 2 or Carrera 4 guises. All are more powerful than the Carrera S models beneath, sporting an extra 30bhp and the compulsory-for-show-offs Porsche sports exhaust.
The flat-six boxer engine has been tuned to deliver a total of 424bhp, giving useful extra performance; Porsche quotes 0-62mph in 4.0sec flat for the coupe (add two-tenths for the cabrio). On paper, it makes the GTS 911s a real stepping stone between regular models and the more hardcore GT3s.
Choose between a seven-speed manual or Porsche Doppelkupplungsgetriebe (PDK) double-clutch gearbox, the latter enabling a 32mpg combined fuel economy figure, claims Porsche.
What else is new on the 991 GTS?
Sticking to a tried-and-tested formula, Porsche has been through the options list and ticked loads of the most desirable options for the new GTS.
You get the Sport Chrono pack, 20-in centre-lock, black alloys, dynamic engine mounts and the PASM adaptive dampers, lowering the ride height by 10mm. Useful, when the rear-drive manual GTS has a top speed of 198mph...
Other extras thrown in to give the GTS some added sparkle include alcantara trim, leather seats, bi-xenon lamps, sat-nav, limited slip diff and Porsche Torque Vectoring.
Prices, specs for 2015 Porsche GTS models
The new Porsche 911 arrives in UK showrooms in November 2014, priced from £91,098 for a 911 Carrera GTS Coupe and £99,602 for the Cabriolet.
Add £4700 for four-wheel drive in either coupe or soft-top 911 GTS.
