PORSCHE UNVEILS NEW 911 TURBO S

PORSCHE has pulled the covers off the most powerful 911 Turbo S ever: the new Exclusive Series. Limited to a production run of 500 units, the new model gains 27bhp over the regular Turbo S, taking its power output up to 599bhp. Torque from the 3.8-litre flat-six engine remains unchanged at 750Nm.

Despite this boost in power, the Exclusive Series boasts the same performance figures as the regular Turbo S, dispatching the sprint from 0-60mph in 2.7 seconds before hitting a top speed of 205mph.

What really distinguishes this new limitededition model from the standard Turbo S, however, is its unique design, higher-quality materials and luxurious details, says Porsche The cars will be finished by hand at Porsche's in-house personalisation department.

Its new Golden Yellow Metallic paint finish – only available on this model – is the most notable addition. This appears on the body, the design lines of the 20-inch wheels, and badges that adorn the black brake calipers

Carbon-fibre components have been fitted, with the roof, bonnet and side skirts constructed from the material. However, these have not contributed to weight savings.

The new Porsche 911 Turbo S Exclusive Series is priced from £186,916 in the UK, significantly more than the regular Turbo S's £145,773 asking price.
