2018 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 GTS

This 2018 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 GTS is the cabriolet version of the 991.1 generation. It pairs the 3.0-litre twin-turbocharged flat-six, making 444 bhp and 550 lb-ft, with the seven-speed PDK and all-wheel drive. Porsche claims a top speed of 190 mph, and the dealer's text quotes 3.7 seconds to 62 mph. The Carrera 4 GTS is a sweet spot in the range, with the wide-body shell of the Carrera 4 and the more powerful GTS engine.

This example has covered 19,032 miles and is finished in Black. The options list is thoughtful rather than extravagant. It includes the front axle lift system, which is useful for steep driveways and speed bumps. It also has Porsche Dynamic Lighting System Plus on black LED headlights, 18-way adaptive Sports Seats Plus, and a Bose surround sound system.

The cabin has several GTS-appropriate details: a white-dial Sport Chrono stopwatch, an aluminium PDK selector, and the Porsche crest embossed in the head restraints. Practical additions include front and rear ParkAssist with a reversing camera, lane change assist, a heated multifunction steering wheel, and speed limit display.
