Porsche 911 Carrera GTS Cabriolet Rental in San Diego
The black Porsche 911 Carrera GTS Cabriolet with the black interior is based in San Diego. It is the open 911 for the driver, the one with the sport exhaust and the lowered chassis as standard, so it is the car for the canyon morning on Palomar Mountain and the evening in Little Italy with the top down and nothing to prove. Delivery covers San Diego, Orange County and the Inland Empire.
How It Drives
The engine is the reason to pay for the GTS. The 3.0 liter twin-turbo flat-six is tuned to 473 hp, and the sport exhaust that comes standard on this trim turns the Carrera's hoarse note into something harder and louder from the first twist of the switch. 0 to 60 in 3.4 seconds through the 8-speed PDK, with Sport Chrono on the dash and the Sport Response button in the wheel for 20 seconds of everything. The chassis sits 10 mm lower than the Carrera on sport-tuned adaptive dampers, so the car settles quicker and follows the wheel with more accuracy, at the cost of a firmer ride over broken pavement. Drop the top and take it up Highway 78 to Palomar Mountain, where 20 hairpins in 7 miles are what this car was set up for.
How It Photographs
Black over black on an open 911 means the shape and the hardware carry the frame. In direct sun the paint goes to a mirror and the satin black centre-lock wheels, the red calipers and the black trim become one dark outline, so shoot early or late. In open shade the car turns to soft charcoal and the GTS script on the tail reads. After dark it is headlights, the light bar and the red calipers, so shoot it at the edge of day. The frame to take is the rear three-quarter, top down. Shoot the centre-lock wheel nut and the red caliper close. Put it at the Mount Soledad overlook at sunset with La Jolla and the coast below.
Why This One
Of the 3 911 cabriolets we base in San Diego, this is the driver's one. The chalk grey Carrera Cabriolet at $595 a day is the softer, prettier car. The Turbo S Cabriolet at $995 is the faster car with all-wheel drive. This one sits between them at $895 a day with a $2,500 refundable deposit, the only one of the 3 with the sport exhaust and the lowered chassis as factory standard. If the drive is the point and the top comes off, this is the one.
What's On This One
This is the Carrera GTS Cabriolet, the open rear-wheel-drive GTS with the 3.0 liter twin-turbo flat-six at 473 hp, an 8-speed PDK, Sport Chrono, the sport exhaust, sport-tuned adaptive dampers lowered 10 mm, the bigger brakes with red calipers, 20-inch front and 21-inch rear centre-lock wheels in satin black and black exterior trim in place of the chrome, all standard on this trim. This car is black over a black cabin with Race-Tex trim. 2 doors, 4 seats, a fabric roof that folds under the deck in about 12 seconds, and the frunk under the hood. No stripes, no wrap, no colour anywhere. That is the spec.
