Anyone know what the visual differences are between a Turbo and an S?

 

From the front the bumper where the lights are, you can see the intercoolers better. The S has these "gaps" more filled than Turbo. The DRL's are somewhere in the middle (floating in the middle of the intercooler hole) as where the S are right underneath the bumper itself.

From the back, if the wing is out thats easy if it's not then there is a line in the middle of the Turbo where the wing deploys. Other than that the word Turbo from the back.

I would love to know more ways too, if there are.

 

I read the question as whether there was a visual difference between the Turbo and the Turbo S.

If this is the question, other than one more color option for the S (Agate Grey Metallic) and the badging, I can't detect any outward difference.

 

A couple things i can add. The brake calipers are red on the turbo and silver on the 4s. The front bumper is slightly bigger and lower on the turbo.

 

I meant the Turbo vs the Turbo S - not the 4S - sorry for the confusion

Is this a Turbo or a Turbo S body kit?

looks like a standard turbo to me but the description says S.

 

I don't think there is a difference between Turbo vs Turbo S except for the "S" on the back.

 

S and thats it.

 

There is no visual difference in the Turbo S and Turbo, except for the S on the back lid and S on the TFT screen on the dashboard. Turbo S differences are mainly unique colors, not available for the Turbo if I understood correctly. Also the engine covers in the turbo are black, silver/carbon on the turbo S. You see the turbo S presented often with the sports aerokit and PCCB, but those are an extra option and it is also available for the turbo. In addition to there being no visual differences, there are also no mechanical differences between a 2011 turbo and turbo S, the only thing I can think of is the PDCC incl PTV that is standard in the turbo S, but available as an option in the turbo.

So if you buy a 2011 turbo with powerkit ("identical" power and engine covers) and PDCC including PTV, you will have a car that is mechanically and visually (except for the 2 S badges) identical with the Turbo S.

EDIT: Ok it depends on the detail you go into. The Turbo S also has the side skirts standard, but the difference is really small compared with standard. It also has the Porsche emblem on the seats and the Sports Chrono Package and the Sports exhaust as standard, but these options are also available on the Turbo as extra. Also the interior standard wood in the turbo S is anthracite birch.

Then there is the small PDK viewer on the steering wheel, also available as option on other models.

 

It seems that the S also has a g-force meter.

 

Turbo S has a body color spoiler and the Turbo has a black one regardless of color of car.

Turbo S has a sport exhaust button standard on the console but has standard turbo exhaust tips , sport exhaust tips are $690 option

 

the plain turbo's wing is black and body color on the S

 

This is possible to option out, I think the talk was mainly about differences you cant opt.

 

In the US, body color is standard and you can do a no cost option to black spoiler on the turbo s

 

thanks kip, but the only "visual differences" between the two cars is the CF on the engine, the S badging, and the painted spoiler on the S and black on the plain turbo

yes you can opt out of the body colored spoiler, well for that matter you can op out on the turbo logo on the car as well
