A SHOT OF SPEED

If you thought the 911 Turbo S was the end of the Turbo line, you thought wrong.

If you thought the 911 Turbo S was the end of the Turbo line, you thought wrong. Porsche has found a way to wring 27bhp from the already blistering platform, and is presenting the distillate in the form of the 911 Turbo S Exclusive series. In keeping to that name, only 500 units will be made. The tweaks bring the horsepower count to 607, allowing it to strut from 0 - 100 in 2.9 seconds, and hit 200 in merely 9.6. The car tops out at a theoretical 330kmh, similar to its predecessor. 

The exterior is where the variants truly diverge. The default Exclusive is finished in “golden yellow metallic” paint – gold for short – and sports black racing stripes from rear to nose. Gold and copper trims limn the wheels and interior for good measure. To add to the grandness of the ouevre, a matching wrist watch and luggage set have been commissioned just for owners. If gold is too flamboyant for comfort, other colours are available upon request.
