From Turbo To Turbo S

Based on the current all-wheel-drive 911 Turbo>, the Turbo S is the most exotic and powerful Porsche production car yet offered for sale in North America. Externally, it is distinguished from the Turbo by its unique body work featuring Aerokit II front and rear spoilers, left and right rear side panel air ducts, and additional light-level left and right front air inlets. For enhanced performance, the Turbo's standard 3.6-liter, twin-turbocharged, air-cooled, flat six-cylinder engine has been increased from 400 to 424 horsepower for the Turbo S, the highest power output ever derived from a Porsche production engine sold on the North American continent.
