Gentlemen I apologize for my ignorance but can you tell me why there are zero Turbo allocations available? S’s are of course out there but no Turbo. Why?

They make more $$$$$$ on the S. maximize profits.

There are allocations for turbo but they are even more hard to come by compared to S for reasons pointed out in other posts

eclou

even better is to neuter the turbo engine, remove the active aero, put in a manual, eliminate the seat ventilation, remove the AWD, and sell it for $100k more as a Sport Classic

Angryinch

Dont tell the SC guys this they lose their minds LOL.

so true.

The SC, I can’t believe ppl paid a premium for that car. Detuned turbo and only make a few of them.

But... but... it's not a real sports car unless it has a manual, right?

Angryinch

GT2RS only comes in PDK. Manual can't handle the power...

Manual is fun for cruising around etc, but PDK shifts way faster, so if its a true sports car, it would be a PDK?

I can't even imagine trying to drive my car with manual, it would be suicide, the thing spins all 4 tires at 100+ kmh. Its a challenge just to keep it straight down the road lol

I ended up with an msrp turbo allocation 2024. Had a GTS targa allocation. Love my car. But regret not getting the GTS targa.

It was a 35k upgrade for an S, but I only had a Turbo option so that’s what I got.

An M engineering tune and some pipes will likely shave off the .1 second I hear.

Angryinch

M Eng tune and pipes will give ya a lot more than 0.1, You will be feeding stock turbo S all day.

Try to get an allocation for a Targa 4 vs a Targa 4S. In 2021 I read somewhere that Porsche sold in the states - 12 Targa 4 models and over 500 Targa 4S.

the real question is why offer a Turbo and Targa 4 at all? Same with the base Carrera coupe vs a Carrera S- easier to get an allocation for an S.

in all three cases the profit margin is obviously much larger on the upgraded models.

I purposely selected my Targa 4 as ai like the engine fell better- seems to not have the big lag to take a breathe on launch that the s engine requires to get the larger turbo blades to spin up.

there’s no way that’s a real number. I personally saw more than 4 base targa’s in my store alone during that model year

If you get the Pure Turbo upgrade, it should theoretically be exactly the same as a Turbo S with the Turbo upgrade.

If you end up doing that, please let us know the performance figures, because I'm really curious if the Turbo engine truly is just a Turbo S engine with smaller Turbos as some have said.

Turbo S = Turbo with more options and different turbos.

Add tune and exhaust...pulls noticeably harder than stock TTS
