The 4% power increase could have been easily achieved with a software update, but the task was also to reduce fuel consumption. The 991.2 Turbo 3.8 got different inlet ports, injection nozzles and higher fuel pressure compared to its predecessor. The Turbo S got turbochargers with larger compressors.
The new 918-style steering wheel had the mode switch (Normal, Sport, Sport+, Individual). The Sport Response button at the centre of the switch preconditions the engine and gearbox for the best possible responsiveness for overtaking.
Porsche Stability Management Sport Mode: a brief press of the PSM button puts the system in a very sporty mode – which is independent of the driving programme that is selected. The separately switched PSM Sport mode alters the intervention threshold much more than was the case in Sport Plus mode of the previous model. A long press of the button completely deactivates PSM.
With the Turbo S, the PDCC Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control hydraulic roll bars came as standard. The PCCB Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes had been standard on the Turbo S already since the 996 generation. New options included the radar-based lane change assist and a lift system for the front axle (increased ground clearance by 1.6"/40 mm). The PCM now had a multi-touch screen like in the facelifted 991 Carrera. Routes and places could be visualised with 360-degree images and satellite images.
The 20" wheels of the Turbo 3.8 were now 0.5" wider (9" at front and 11.5" at rear). The wheels on the Turbo were now as wide as on the Turbo S.
Turbo S Exclusive Series
The 500 hundred numbered 911 Turbo S Exclusive Series cars cross the 600 hp mark with their 446 kW engines. The 20 kW/5% power increase does not make much difference performance wise, but it is good to know you have more than 600 hp. Similar in acceleration and top speed to the 'regular' Turbo S, the car reaches 200 km/h (124 mph) in 9.6 seconds (0.3 seconds faster than the regular Turbo S). The car comes standard with the Turbo Aerokit and has the batmobile-style roof panel. While on the 991 GT3 RS the roof panel was made of magnesium, on this special edition car it is made of carbon-fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP) for the first time. In additon to the roof panel, the front lid, side skirts, mirror case, side air intakes and other parts are of CFRP. Completely new are the wheels and the rear end lower area design including the exhaust pipes. The prototype was painted in Golden Yellow Metallic.
Carbon fibre wheels
Porsche offered carbon fibre wheels for the 911 Turbo S Exclusive Series. While a carbon fibre wheel itself is not a news, the rim part of the Porsche wheel is braided! The wheel centre is made from 200 cut-out pieces of carbon-fibre fabric and braided into the rim base.
2018 WEC & Le Mans safety cars
The 2018 Porsche safety cars for the World Endurance Championship were fitted with racing suspension and brakes (this means steel discs, not ceramic), Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 street legal tyres, OMP racing bucket seats, 6-point harness (but no roll cage), a monitor to display track signals, a radio to contact the race director, a signal light system on the roof and flashing LED lights at the front and rear. Otherwise the cars are almost stock with the 397 kW engine.
