2015 Porsche 911 Carrera GTS
View on RP InventoryWhat makes this one special
This 2015 Porsche 911 Carrera GTS Cabriolet represents the final chapter of the naturally aspirated flat-six GTS story—and this one is finished in the most focused specification you could ask for. Black over black, rear-wheel drive, and equipped with the lightning-fast PDK transmission and Sport Chrono Package, it's equal parts stealth missile and open-air driving machine. The GTS Sport Design Package and Sport Exhaust System ensure this 911 looks and sounds the part, whether the top is up or down.
Inside, the black interior is driver-focused and beautifully appointed. Power-adjustable sport seats, a BOSE premium audio system, navigation, and Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) make this GTS as comfortable on long drives as it is capable on a canyon road. Bi-xenon headlights, parking sensors, and the power convertible soft top round out a thoroughly modern and well-equipped Porsche.
At 12,738 miles, this GTS Cabriolet has been properly broken in but remains in excellent condition—ready to deliver the visceral, naturally aspirated flat-six experience that has become increasingly rare and increasingly coveted.
The model history
The Story of the 991.1 Carrera GTS
Introduced for the 2015 model year, the 991.1 Carrera GTS occupied the sweet spot in the 911 range—more powerful and focused than the Carrera S, but more livable and less extreme than the GT3. The GTS badge, revived by Porsche in the modern era, was reserved for models that combined everyday usability with track-ready performance, and the 991.1 GTS delivered on that promise in spades.
Under the rear decklid sat a 3.8-liter naturally aspirated flat-six that produced 430 horsepower, an increase of 30 over the Carrera S. Paired with Porsche's seven-speed PDK dual-clutch transmission and rear-wheel drive, the GTS could sprint to 60 mph in just 3.8 seconds with the optional Sport Chrono Package. But the numbers only tell part of the story—the GTS also came standard with the Sport Exhaust, wider Carrera 4 bodywork, PASM sport suspension, and Sport Chrono, making it one of the most complete 911s you could buy without stepping into GT territory.
The 991.1 generation would be the last to feature naturally aspirated engines across the Carrera range. When Porsche introduced the 991.2 in 2016, turbochargers arrived for all non-GT models, marking the end of an era. That makes the 2015 GTS Cabriolet especially significant: it's the final naturally aspirated open-top GTS, with the free-revving throttle response, linear power delivery, and intoxicating exhaust note that only a naturally aspirated flat-six can provide.
Today, the 991.1 GTS is widely regarded as one of the most desirable modern 911s—a model that captures the essence of what made the 911 legendary while offering the refinement, safety, and daily usability of a contemporary sports car. As turbocharged performance becomes the new normal, the naturally aspirated GTS has become a modern classic.
Fun fact
The GTS name originates from the Porsche 904 Carrera GTS, a mid-1960s race car that helped establish Porsche's motorsport dominance and became one of the most beautiful competition cars ever built.
Porsche company history
In a market increasingly dominated by turbocharged performance, the 991.1 Carrera GTS Cabriolet stands as a reminder of what made the 911 legendary in the first place: naturally aspirated power, precise handling, and the pure, unfiltered connection between driver and machine. This black-on-black example, with PDK, Sport Chrono, and all the right options, is ready to be enjoyed exactly as Porsche intended.
