You can spec a Turbo to be 'S' spec (and beyond). But you'd be mad to instead of buying a real 'S'. No Turbo is ever going to be an 'S' irrespective of spec. Best is to find a high spec 'S'.

For tuning I would say gen 1, that engines potential is huge otherwise no question turbo S if leaving stock.

They guys coming out of their 2009 cars specced their cars to the hilt without knowing that the S was around the corner, why not take advantage? smile

Best case, the S is just an ECU remap and a carbon intake box.

I tried to buy a decent S but price difference between my Turbo and those was £25k.

Can anyone comment on the interior/infoainment system of both the Gen 1 and Gen 2? The Gen 2 looks like it has a wider screen and more user friendly, but any other consideration on interior comforts in both cars?
