I don't think the PDK-S matches this car smooth/luxury feel and its powerband. In my GT3, while amazing on the track, was quite jerky driving around town. But who knows, I could be wrong

This. Although the RS tune on PDK-S may be an interesting idea for the next GT2 RS...

Wow, what a rape.

The power of GIAC Stage 2+. And this was the early version of the stage 2+ tune. The public version was released yesterday and it is a good bit more powerful. I have since had my Stage 2+ tune upgraded to the public release version. Mine was done about a month ago.

I was expecting at least a 40 bhp bump up to 600 bhp especially given the power outputs of the 650s, 488 GTB and Huracan. 20 bhp is a very small bump.

But I will be very interested to see how much power the tuners can wring out out of the bigger turbos in the new Turbo S.

I think I could get used to anything after a while but I'm glad to have the Sport Wheel. Going from multi -> sport is the easier conversion I'm told.

I'm somewhat used to it, I just miss the better paddle layout of the sports wheel

Looking at the picture of the yellow car. It looks to have a more aggressive stance. Maybe it's the wider rim giving it that look. But looks lower too.

FYI, someone has successfully changed thier gt3 wheel to the newer RS one. There is a thread in the gt3 section.

You really should just pay the ticket for the Techart paddle shift kit. It is the cheaper and better solution by far. You have the best of both worlds and function wise they work and feel exactly the same as the Sports paddles, and make the wheel look much better too. I honestly wouldn't waste another day with the buttons.

Going either way will still cost you the price of changing the electronic hub to match which ever wheel you have plus the cost of the wheel itself. Its not cheap doing it that way when you can get exactly the same result and retain the MF by using the TA paddle kit.

The New 911

Also when are we going to see this frigen FeFi Porsche has been talking about for the past 18 months? Instead of the Turbo S being the primary competitor for the current mid engined Ferrari's, even though the Turbo S has no problem's competing against the current V8 and even the F12 and FF for that matter!

But I can't wait to see the FeFi and see how they overcome adding more power without adding larger Turbos and/or more boost. Like already mentioned by some it will probably be an integrated Hybrid System while adding a few more cylinders.

Going by the technical specs in the new .2 catalog the height of gen 2 is 1mm higher at 1297 vs 1296 on the gen1....so the lower look can only be from the angle in which the photo was taken from. You will also find that once the car is moving it becomes lower anyway due to the down-force being placed upon the shocks.

Also nothing mentioned in the detailed specs and available options about a lower suspension being available either. You do get the lift kit option though which would be handy for those intending to lower with AM springs.

I also note the 0 to 200 for gen 2 tts is now 9.9 vs the .1tts at 10.8 so the car is 1 second faster there.....quite a difference.

That's not possible from only a 20hp bump. Either there is an error in that data, context mismatch (i.e. .2 TTS w/LC vs .1TT wo/LC) or there are mechanical changes not yet known (would almost have to be gearing) or all three.

An 8.3% time difference is going to need a lot more than a 3.6% power difference.

Nonetheless, 0-200 (kph) is a better benchmark than 0-60 mph.

speed21

Porsche has never relied on big HP gains to achieve significantly improved accel times. There is also the turbo torque too. Gearing may also be involved. I have no doubt the 0 to 200 gain is legit. The figures are very specific. Note these times are with SC active.

TheGhost

What is the torque gain for Turbo S?
