Porsche announces 911 Turbo S Exclusive Series

-

The new 2018 911 Turbo S Exclusive Series Coupe from Porsche is the most powerful 911 Turbo S ever.

The Coupe makes 607 hp and is limited to 500 units worldwide. It will be available in the fourth quarter starting at $293,800.

In addition to an increase of 27 hp, the 911 Turbo S Exclusive Series distinguis­hes itself from other 911 Turbo S models with its unique design, specialty materials, and luxurious details.

Previously known as “Porsche Exclusive,” the in-house workshop specialize­s in customizat­ion and is responsibl­e for limitededi­tion vehicles.

For the first time ever, Porsche customers can have the optional matching chronograp­h from Porsche Design configured in the same specificat­ion as their car. Increased power and performanc­e

The 3.8-litre, twin-turbo flat-six engine with a power kit delivers a maximum torque of 553 lb/ft. This results in the 911 Turbo S Exclusive Series Coupe accelerati­ng from 0-60 mph in 2.8 seconds, and it takes 9.6 seconds to cross 124 mph making it 0.3 seconds faster than the standard 911 Turbo S. The top track speed is 205 mph.

The 911 Turbo S Exclusive Series comes standard with 20-inch center-lock wheels painted in black, with highlights carefully finished in Golden Yellow Metallic using a new laser technology.

For the first time, the brake calipers for the Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB) system are available in black with the Porsche logo in Golden Yellow Metallic.

The active sports chassis with Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) and the Sport Chrono package are included as standard. Rear-axle steering and Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC) further enhance handling and stability. Exceptiona­l design

What makes the 911 Turbo S Exclusive Series Coupe so distinctiv­e is the exclusive Golden Yellow Metallic paint finish and various carbon fiber components, including the front trunk lid, roof, and side skirts.

The two carbon-weave strips that contour the roof and front trunk lid accentuate the sporty look of the car. The rear view is characteri­zed by the rear wing of the Turbo Aerokit, a new rear fascia, and the exhaust system with twin tailpipes which are finished in black.

The fenders are decorated with Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur plates. In addition to Golden Yellow Metallic, the vehicle is offered in other select exterior colors.
