Yeah. There was a 991 sales-so-far thread on the 991 forum. I looked it over and came to the conclusion that TT sales x 2 == TTS sales. TTs are rarer by far and on the used market it seems like 1:5. I see 5 TTSs for every TT.

I've been curious about production numbers, but didn't find after searching. Would you mind linking the production thread?

Generally Porsche Germany model years are a year ahead of us.

I remember watching a YouTube video review of the 991.1 Turbo S, and the reviewer stated that the “internals are modified” on the Turbo S compared to the Turbo to handle the extra power. That statement is contrary to what I read here on Rennlist. Does anybody know if there’s anything different about the internals of the engine in the 991.1 Turbo S cars? If so, what is different? I’ve always thought that the only engine difference was a moderate tune.

Another difference on the .1 that I don't think was mentioned was the different front grilles between the S and non S. I believe there is no similar difference on the .2. Also, S models have the leather covered seat backs as standard from Exclusive Manufactur.

Doesnt the TTS also have, standard, 4 wheel steering. That’s a huge $$ option on TT

Rear axle steering standard......here is the build sheet on mine (2015)
The big option $ on the TT v TTS is the Sport Chrono pkg which includes the overboost and other stuff.

I've been looking at getting an S, but I plan on doing a lot of tracking, so it seems finding a turbo with PDCC is the way, yes?

Skip the PDCC - the active sway bars help you corner flatter on the street but takes away any feel from the car and adds weight for the track.

I had a '15 Turbo and now have a '19 Turbo. The car has plenty of power, is a blast to drive, and I don't have PDCC but to be honest the car handles like a champ. I do have CL wheels which I don't mind. I will say my '15 had comfort seats and my '19 has 18-way seats which are far superior to the comfort seats. The 18-way hold you nicely in place during spirited drives. Can't go wrong with either car imo.

I'm driving a '17 Turbo with sticker price of $206k ($46k in options), then he added 4 year dealer Maint, full car PPF when new and K40. I added Martini Livery and some mild mods with a COBB mild tune. It is definitely an animal on streets and highways. Very few cars on the road today have this level of acceleration, as well as top speed (now 200).
