How to spot one
Look for
- Fastback roofline and a high, spoiler-topped tail.8
- Four round rear lamps give the tail a wide, horizontal look.8
- Sculpted side vents sit just behind the front wheels.8
- Full-LED headlights blend into the hood's sculpted air intakes.8
- Rear diffuser contains a suspended splitter, giving it a two-level wing shape.8
Year by year
- 2020–2024: GTS
The GTS brings a retractable hardtop and large rear buttresses around the folded-roof storage cover.315
Don’t confuse it with
F12tdf
View the tail in profile: the raised spoiler lacks the F12tdf's extra rearward extension.8
