RE: VerySideways's Porsche 911 Turbo

[LATATA]

One of the best cars ever built in my opinion. Certainly one of the best porsches

What's the spec difference between that (nice one VS) and the 993 Turbo S? Seen a couple of very tasty ones in London recently, one in arctic silver and the other in a very nice red.

Standard car has 408BHP using twin K16 Turbos.
The Turbo S has 450 bhp with larger K24 turbos, an additional oil cooler and remapped ECU.
There is also another, in between version (which I have). It has 430 BHP using the K16 turbos but re-mapped and with additional oil cooler (photo below)

A genuine Turbo S will sport the following:
Air intakes in the rear arches
Slightly different lower front bumper (extended)
Bi-plane rear spoiler with air intakes in leading edges above rear wings
450bhp courtesy of K24's, oil cooler, and ECU
Big Red's but with yellow calipers
Front foglight air intakes for additional brake cooling (colour coded)
Turbo S rear badging
Quad tailpipes

Have i missed anything?

And thanks for all the comments, i am very happy with my tt

Where is there to go from here?

I think the finish of the wheels on a Turbo S are slightly darker, and the centre caps have "Turbo S" on them.

Satin finished turbo alloys,,carbon interior trim with special Turbo S front strut brace,,lowered sports suspension and the rest is basically interior....everything is leather...headlining, air vents...even the buttons on the dash are finished in leather...attention the detail to justify the 130k price when new.
