For the first time ever, a lightweight package [1] is available for 911 GTS Coupé models, Which saves up to 25 kilograms And further improves driving dynamics. The package includes lightweight full bucket seats made of carbon fibre-reinforced plastic (CFRP) [2], lightweight glass in the front, side and rear windows, and a lightweight battery. The service life of the lithium iron phosphate battery is 2.5 times that of a conventional lead-acid battery, but it only weighs approximately a third as much, at 12.75 kilograms. To save more weight, the rear seats and rear floor mats have also been removed.
Other performance optimisation include rear-axle steering as standard in this equipment combination, along with additional aerodynamic finishing touches. New air-guide elements in the front section of the underbody reduce lift at the front. The control of the adaptive rear spoiler has been re-programmed. It is now approximately four degrees steeper in its performance setting, which gives the benefit of more downforce.
The interior noise insulation has been reduced further, compared to the 911 GTS without the lightweight package, which not only improves the power-to-weight ratio, But also results in a more intense, emotive sound experience.
[1] Expected availability is from November 2021 [2] Porsche offers the optional 18-way electrically adjusted Adaptive Sports Seats Plus, albeit without weight savings
