So basically its a Panamera Turbo with 50hp more for $38,000 extra? no thanks.
^Agreed
and no visual difference on the outside!
They need to drop the price and make it look different from a regular turbo

yeah the car looks the same....they could put some different parts on it..for that price you buy a regular turbo and put better wheels and some other stuff and save money

I gotta give Porsche an applause for being able to create such a big vehicle that gets to 60mph in less than 4secs. It us just mindblowing!

Whether or not it's a real 'S' is another question, but it is an impressive piece of automotive engineering.

Hey I have the Sport Design pack as well!!

Seriously though, they should have added that as standard...at least to the Turbo S

That grey color is amazing though...if it were matte

Nice power increase but jeese....they needed the sport design bumper to make this one sell. I can just see someone in the dealer saying I really like the S looks better so I will buy that one. Less people will fork out the coin just for the pick up in hp.

So... the next time an AMG S class, or Alpina passes you.............flick him the bird, then shift into 7th. They all wish they were driving the Panni Turbo S.

THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE.

We have already seen a stock Turbo with tune get to 600hp and I can guarantee that will cost far less than $38k.

I agree wholeheartedly.

The 997 Turbo S - to me, made financial sense when I was ordering my car. This, I dont get it - Ok PCCB's and 50hp - but nothing "special" - Its like they are saying - here's a reprogram - give us $40K.

Anything in the interior? Leather and Suede seats, CF everywhere? Special paint, wood anything?

Sad - well, Porsche can't win them all I guess.
