rear arch ducts on either side, brilliant finish to wheels, front lip, aerokit 2 rear wing, brake calipers painted yellow, lots of carbon fibre (look) inside, additional oil cooler and, depending on the country where the S was sold, from 424+ hp due to a different ECU (In most countries, I think the S models sported quite a bit more than 424 hp. In the US, the turbos were the same but perhaps in other countries this may be different. Info is to the best of my knowledge. You could also do a search of this forum to see if it has been discussed before. Good luck.

Correct on the turbos as far as certain European spec S cars are concerned but I am not so sure about engine parts. Barring the ECU, the K24 GT2 turbos in some non-US S cars and the additional oil cooler, all changes were mostly cosmetic - yellow coloured brake calipers, twin exhaust pipes (forgot to mention those earlier), carbon fibre inside, brilliant finish on wheels, S lip and aerokit wing, rear arch ducts on either side, etc. The basic engine remained the same; the upgrade was essentially more forced air, more cooling and an optimised ECU for the added power. Some kits are probably available including perhaps OEM ones for retrofit to a basic turbo.

Porsche also added a few extra numbers on the MSRP![Wink](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/wink.gif)
I feel the TT-S is more valuable from a collectors standpoint. I am not a collector, but I would sure like to have one someday

Also EVERYTHING not carbon fiber is leather on the interior - AC vent vanes, power window switches, headliner, dash, everything! Wheels are a pain as only the factory can repaint - even Weidman cannot match super bright finish.
