In the Flesh: Turbo S Pictures
#11
I've encountered a Turbo S cab in Munich about a week or two ago...
and the sound was way more pronounced and throaty than the one of regular 997.1 TTs I've heard yet
when he went off the throttle you could hear the exhaust spitting
at a red light,a 997 C4S and a V8 Vantage Volante were next to each other...
me and the TTS were in the 2nd row
I was praying to god that one of those guys might hit the throttle harder and the others might react accordingly
and that was exactly what happened
the C4S and V8 Vantage pulled away fast while we were in the second row realizing what was going on....so the TTS driver hit the throttle as well and woooooosh ..
he almost ran in the trunk of the Vantage and had to break hard....
wow,it looked like a Veyron versus an M3 or something...and the LOUD turbo Zing was crazy...will not forget that too soon...
Great car!
Enjoy it as soon as it arrives !
oh and it was in the Leopoldstrasse in Munich if one of the drivers happen to read this

funny, it almost seems as if the two pictures are two different colors! i love the color of the picture featuring rear of the car yet the first one showing side view looks almost bland... i guess it's just the lighting.
either way i am beyond pumped to get this car next week - just hoping the color looks more like the second picture!!

I saw two 911 Turbo S Cabriolets on Saturday. Also, a 911 GT3 RS, sold, and a Boxster Spyder, sold. One person got a test drive in the Turbo S, and immediately started discussing the options. He had a normal 997.1 Turbo, and thought of it as a Honda afterwards. And, I just realized the best difference besides the LEDs on the new Turbo. A MUCH larger exhaust area.
Amazing car.
I'll post some videos of the pair later. I got a video of one at full throttle, and it's extremely quite, but it sounds awesome.
Thanks for the pictures

That's exactly what I've been thinking. In essence, you spec out a Turbo, nudge the boost a little, and . . . ? Why would you pay extra for the S, as sexy as it is?

Although the standard Turbo has after market exhausts in this picture, the difference is obvious. Notice how the bottom of the bumper is flat on the 997.1, and it makes room for the exhausts on the 997.2.
