Porsche 911 Turbo S Exclusive Series Unveiled With An Additional 27 HP


Porsche has taken the wraps off the new 911 Turbo S Exclusive Series.

Billed as the "most powerful and unique 911 Turbo S" ever created, the special edition sports car has a Golden Yellow Metallic exterior with carbon fiber stripes on the roof and hood. Designers also installed carbon fiber side skirts and unique 20-inch central locking wheels with Golden Yellow accents.

The rear of the car has been given a modest makeover as Porsche installed a new rear apron and the rear wing from the Turbo Aerokit. Other highlights include a carbon fiber ram-air scoop and a unique exhaust system in black stainless steel.

The cabin comes nicely equipped with 18-way adjustable sports seats which are covered in perforated leather upholstery and feature Golden Yellow stripes. The color can also be seen stitched on the headrests and on the Alcantara roof liner. Rounding out the interior highlights are illuminated carbon sill plates, an individually numbered plaque, and carbon fiber trim with cooper inserts.

Power is provided by an upgraded twin-turbo 3.8-liter flat-six engine that produces 607 PS (599 hp / 446 kW) and 750 Nm (553 lb-ft) of torque. Thanks to the additional 27 PS (26 hp / 19 kW), the car accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 2.9 seconds and has a top speed of 330 km/h (205 mph).

To keep things under control, engineers installed ceramic brakes, rear-axle steering, and Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control. The model also boasts the Sport Chrono package and the Porsche Active Suspension Management system.

The car was built to celebrate the renaming of Porsche Exclusive to Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur. That change might sound minor but production will be limited to 500 units nonetheless.

Interestingly, buyers will have the option of purchasing a matching watch from Porsche Design. The watch is made from titanium and features a black titanium carbide coating as well as a carbon dial that is finished in the actual paint used on the car.

If that hasn't exhausted your bank account, the company will also offer an Exclusive Series luggage set which includes two hold-alls, a day bag, and a suit bag.

Limited Edition Ford GT 'Competition Series' Is All About The Track

Image
Ford's new GT Competition Series was built with weight-saving in mind, but also with an improved center of gravity for better road-holding. Among its features, you'll notice the lightweight carbon fiber racing stripes, A-Pillars and side mirrors, as well as the unique race-inspired Perspex acrylic engine hatch with integrated venting. Thanks to the manual latch and the carbon fiber prop rod, weight near the roof has been reduced, though Ford engineers went even further in their quest to make the car lighter, by making the bulkhead Gorilla Glass behind the driver about half as thick (and as light) as on other models. "The Ford GT has racing in its blood," said Ford exec Raj Nair, while adding that the Competition Series "was developed with the most hardcore track enthusiasts in mind, providing a tailored set of lightweight features and unique livery to match." There are also plenty of remaining performance features from the production car, such as ...

Volkswagen T-Roc Cabriolet Is A Crossover For Droptop Lovers

Image
Droptop crossovers have always been rather odd and the T-Roc Cabriolet is no different. It will be the only convertible Volkswagen on sale for the foreseeable future and will celebrate its public debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September. Rather than simply removing the roof of the standard T-Roc, Volkswagen has drastically altered the vehicle’s structure and body. In fact, its wheelbase is 37 mm longer than the standard T-Roc while its overall length is up by 34 mm. In addition, the Volkswagen T-Roc Cabriolet features structural strengthening in the underbody, side panels, cross members, doors, and windscreen frame to make up for the lack of a roof. The folding fabric roof developed by Volkswagen retracts in just nine seconds at speeds of up to 19 mph (30.5 km/h) and is similar in operation to the roof of the outgoing Golf Cabriolet. The presence of the soft top reduces trunk space by 161 liters down from the 284 liters of the run-of-the-mill T-Roc. We don’t think bu...

Alpine A110 Hits Geneva With Pure, Legende And GT4 Versions

Image
Renault’s reborn Alpine brand has been getting rave reviews for its new A110 and now, as promised, it’s revealed new versions of its coupe at the Geneva Motor Show. Following the success of the sold-out Premiere Edition, the A110 will now be offered in Pure and Legende trims. The A110 Pure is targeted at driving enthusiasts. It features one-piece Sabelt sports seats that weigh barely more than 13 kilograms (28.6 pounds) each and, combined with other weight-saving measures, helps keep the curb weight below 1,100 kg ( 2,425 lbs). It’s not entirely stripped out, though, and still comes with features like air-conditioning and satellite navigation. Buyers can also add upgraded Brembo brakes and an adaptive exhaust system and can upgrade to the adjustable comfort seats. Those come standard on the Legende model, which is geared more towards every day driving and grand touring and comes with leather upholstery. Customers can also choose between two Focal sound systems and two wheel...
