series. For the first time ever, Porsche customers can have the matching chronograp­h watch from Porsche Design configured in the same design as their sports car.

The 3.8-litre, six-cylinder biturbo flat engine with an exclusive power kit has a maximum torque of 750Nm, delivered between 2250 and 4000rpm. This means that the 911 Turbo S Exclusive Series accelerate­s from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.9 seconds, and takes 9.6 seconds to cross the 200km/h threshold. The sports car can reach a top speed of 330 km/h it is claimed.

The new model comes with black-painted 20-inch wheels with central locking as standard; their design lines are carefully finished in Golden Yellow Metallic using a new laser technology. For the first time, the brake callipers for the PCCB ceramic brake system are available directly from the factory in a black-painted version with the Porsche logo in Golden Yellow Metallic.

The active sports chassis, equipped with Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) and Sport Chrono Package, is included in the standard equipment, as is the rear-axle steering and Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC) improving handling and stability.

Some of the most distinguis­h- ing features of this sports car include the exclusive Golden Yellow Metallic paint finish and

various

carbon components, such as the bonnet, roof and side skirts. The two carbon-weave strips that contour the roof and bonnet accentuate the sporty look of the car.

The rear view is characteri­sed by the rear wing of the Turbo Aerokit, the new rear apron, the ram-air scoop in carbon and the exhaust system with two twin tailpipes made from stainless steel in black.

In addition to Golden Yellow Metallic, the vehicle is offered in a range of other special exterior colours.

The model’s interior is both elegant and unique. The 18-way adjustable sports seats are covered in two layers of perforated leather, with the inside layer featuring two stripes in Golden Yellow, guaranteei­ng a distinctiv­e effect. The seams and the Turbo S lettering

stitched on the headrests are also in contrastin­g Golden Yellow, meanwhile the roof lining is finished in Alcantara, with a Golden Yellow double stripe. Fine copper thread is integrated into the trim strips of the carbon interior package. A plaque featuring the limited-edition number on the passenger’s side underlines the car’s exclusivit­y. Finished in carbon, the door entry guards come with illuminate­d Exclusive Series lettering.

The basic retail price for the new 911 Turbo S Exclusive Series with a three-year Drive Plan starts at R4 072 000, and is available to order now from your nearest Porsche Centre.
