2023 Porsche 911 Carrera GTS Cabriolet America Edition is a special edition model to honor the USA

Porsche seriously loves making special edition models that honor specific countries. Late models incorporate the 911 Belgian Legend Edition and Taycan GTS Hockenheimring Edition, named after Germany’s second most renowned track. Be that as it may, what might be said about an exceptional edition to celebrate America? The last time Porsche released a car like that was the 964-age 1992 Porsche 911 America Roadster; before that, it was the 1952 356 America Roadster. To pay homage to these creations, the folks at Stuttgart just uncovered another creation called the 2023 Porsche 911 Carrera GTS Cabriolet America Edition at the 2022 Porsche Parade in Poconos, Pennsylvania.

Just 115 will be constructed (100 going to the US and 15 to Canada), making the drop-top America Edition one of the most uncommon 992 models. The car joins a series of Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur vehicles, including the 911 Sport Classic and Targa 4S Heritage Edition.

However it’s no faster than a standard GTS, the America Edition is separated by its Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur design. The car arrives in an exceptional Azure Blue 356 shade that is not accessible on some other 911. Obviously, purchasers can pick almost some other color they believe through the Paint Should Sample program. Sky Blue is cool however and pairs well with the white and red accents all through the car. This is the American Patriot’s 911.

Other America Edition-explicit contacts incorporate a Satin Black windshield frame, RS Spyder Design Wheels completed in white and silver with a Guards Red pinstripe, “America” side decals, and a two-color “911 Carrera GTS” badge on the back deck cover.

Porsche says this is whenever it’s consistently offered a three-color wheel and a two-color badge on a production model. A portion of these contacts will ultimately open up for standard models, however, Porsche might want to save them restrictive for a specific period.

The America Edition depends on a GTS Cabriolet, meaning it packs a 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged level six engine producing 473 horsepower and 420 lb-ft of torque. Porsche will just offer this unique edition with back tire drive and a seven-speed manual transmission, with the 0-60 mph sprint clocked at 4.1 seconds.

All of the other GTS goodies, like Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) Sport with brought down ride height, Sport Exhaust, Sport Chrono Package, and six-piston front brakes, are incorporated as standard. Buyers can add Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes and rear-axle steering if they choose.

Stepping into the America Edition, you will spot a special door sill denoting the 70th anniversary of the 356 America Roadster and the 40th anniversary of the 964 America Roadster. The inside is enhanced in Guards Red and Pebble Gray cross-stitching, matching the red accents on the outside while adding some differentiation in the entire American colors theme. The word “America” is embossed in the armrest leather as a unique touch.

Buyers who need considerably more color can select the lengthy inside package, which adds a Guards Red 12 o’clock marking on the controlling wheel in addition to cross-stitching, two-tone stitching on the shifter, a red gear pattern, Sport Seats Plus with 911 stitching in the headrests, red leather backrest release loops, and two-tone floor mats. The key fob is painted to match the outside while the key pouch utilizes similar two-tone stitching and “America” embossing.

The 2023 911 Carrera GTS Cabriolet America shows up with a beginning MSRP of $184,920 (barring a $1,450 delivery expense). For reference, a standard 911 GTS Cabriolet costs $149,500, so this America Edition accompanies a hefty $35,420 premium for its exclusivity.

With the advanced inside package, that cost goes up to $192,430. The car will show up at US and Canadian showrooms in late 2022, and we have no doubt Porsche will sell every one of the 115, reasonable over the sticker cost.
