For some people, the Porsche GT3 was too much to drive it on the road, but the Porsche Carrera 4S was too soft. So, in 2014, the German car-makers unveiled the bridge between those two: the Carrera 4 GTS Coupe.
Porsche 911 was on the market since the late '60s. It was the car that was on wall posters, computer wallpapers, screensavers, and smartphone backgrounds. It was a car built by enthusiasts for enthusiasts. Its overall shape didn't change that much since the first model appeared on the market. It grew in all sizes and it offered more and more power. When more and more race-tracks were opened for public and weekend races started to happened, more often, drivers started to look for more power and better cars. But not necessarily race cars, but cars with a racing pedigree that could have been driven on the roads.
Porsche was known as the “daily driver supercar”. It was true for most of its models. But then, some serious track-oriented cars appeared such as the GT3 or GT3 RS. But to drive one of those on public roads was harsh. The stiff suspension and almost completely stripped-out interiors didn't make them fit for a daily driver. The Carrera 4 GTS was built for regular roads, but it had some aces in its sleeve to handle a race-track. And, with its all-wheel-drive system, it was able to be driven on snow roads too.
Its appearance was different. The smoked bi-Xenon headlights lowered suspension, and its pop-up rear wing was part of a complete street and track package.
