Porsche 911 Turbo S Exclusive Series Explained – Video
The philosophy has remained the same throughout the years: Master craftsmen work tirelessly to create unique Porsche sports cars. That’s why there are highly-qualified Exclusive Manufaktur craftspeople at every Porsche production site, especially at the headquarters at Zuffenhausen. These employees set about implementing customer ideas with great care. Hands are often the only tools that meet Porsche’s high requirements. When it comes to adjusting, painting and polishing, trimming and sewing, using a variety of materials – be it high-quality leather, wood, carbon fibre, Alcantara or aluminium – the craftsmen and women pay full attention to every single detail and take the time to enhance it to perfection. The aim is to give every vehicle that certain something, to bring out even more individuality and expression.
With 580 hp, the Porsche 911 Turbo S is not short on power. The 911 Turbo S Exclusive Series goes one better: Higher boost pressure and specific engine control increase the performance of the engine. The 3.8-litre, six-cylinder biturbo flat engine of the 911 Turbo S Exclusive Series provides 446 kW (607 hp), and therefore 19 kW (27 hp) more than the 911 Turbo S. Compared with the standard vehicle, the engine now has a permanent maximum torque of 750 Nm, delivering between 2,250 and 4,000 rpm. Two turbochargers with variable turbine geometry (VTG) help to ensure a dynamic response, high torque and extraordinary performance values. Porsche is the only manufacturer to use turbochargers with variable turbine geometry in conjunction with petrol engines. Forged connecting rods and aluminium pistons are taken from the series engine. The cylinders are made from an aluminium-silicon alloy.
The sports car can sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.9 seconds, reaching 200 km/h in 9.6 seconds. This takes three tenths of a second off the time achieved by the 911 Turbo S standard model. The top speed is 330 km/h. But that’s not all: the 911 Turbo S Exclusive Series combines high acceleration and sprint qualities with excellent lateral dynamics. Nevertheless, the 911 Turbo S Exclusive Series is efficient: Fuel consumption is the same as the standard model at 9.1 l/100 km combined.
