The “4” in the model designation stands for models with all-wheel drive.

The letter T stands for “Touring” and describes models that offer a particularly purist driving experience with reduced but particularly sporty equipment.

At Porsche, S stands for “Sport”: a more powerful version which, in addition to the extra sporty engine, also includes improvements in equipment compared to the basic model.

GTS refers to a further improvement of the S models with even more power and expanded equipment.

A turbo is the top model, the limit of what is possible, a technological pioneer. The fully electric Taycan and Macan in particular show that the type designation is no longer tied to the use of an exhaust turbocharger. Turbo does not stand for a technology here, but rather identifies the most powerful variants.

GT refers to the extremely sporty version of the basic model, built for motorsport, approved for the road.

RS identifies the further enhanced versions of the GT models – the maximum performance possible with road approval.
