Porsche 911 engines & performance

The GTS's new power unit is good for a 0-62mph time of 3.0sec and a top speed of 194mph while officially returning 26.4mpg and emitting 244g/km of CO2. 

Overtakes are a cinch: it has almost as much power as the current Turbo, and one could imagine that it will provide the basis for the facelifted Turbo – which is surely going to be mind-bendingly fast, because this is borderline there already. 

In tamer driving, though, those electric systems aren’t working terribly hard, if at all – and the regular 3.0-litre Carrera seems to get along just fine without them. We will tackle more on the way they deliver their power in the next section.
