Black 19” RS Spyder center-lock wheels are mounted with Bridgestone Potenza RE-71R tires. Braking is handled by Porsche-branded four-piston calipers over slotted aftermarket rotors. The car is equipped with Porsche Stability Management (PSM), an automatic brake differential (ABD), and Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM). Eibach springs are fitted along with Rennline stainless-steel brake lines.
The cabin features heated power-adjustable front sport seats upholstered in black leather with Alcantara inserts. Equipment includes Porsche Communication Management (PCM) 3.0 with Extended Navigation as well as Bose Surround Sound, cruise control, and automatic climate control. Leather trims the shifter surround and sun visors and this example was ordered with illuminated Carrera GTS-branded stainless-steel door sill guards.
The Alcantara-wrapped steering wheel features shift paddles and frames a central tachometer with a 7,400-rpm redline as well as a 200-mph speedometer and gauges for oil temperature, coolant temperature, oil pressure, and fuel level. The optional Sport Chrono Package added a stopwatch atop the dashboard. The digital odometer indicates 51k miles.
The 3.8-liter flat-six was factory rated at 408 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque in the GTS, an increase of 23 horsepower over the contemporary Carrera S. Records indicate that the serpentine belt was replaced in August 2021, the accessory belt tensioner was replaced in March 2022, and the engine compartment fan was replaced in April 2022. A June 2022 Blackstone Laboratories oil report is provided in the photo gallery.
Power is sent to the rear wheels via a seven-speed PDK dual-clutch transaxle and a limited-slip differential. A Sharkwerks center muffler bypass pipe has reportedly been installed.
