Default Performance difference Turbo vs. Turbo S

Hi!

Most reviews say that the performance difference between Turbo and Turbo S is the boost mode during "Launch control". Is this really the onliest difference in performance?
I don't know if this is worth the additional money for a Turbo S performance-wise (other specs are different - I know).

But Porsche says the time from 80-120 km/h is 1,7 sec on Turbo S and 1,9 sec on Turbo ... this clearly shows that the boost must also operate on full throttle ... not only on "Launch control"

Does anyone know?

Best regards

I believe the boost works like the 911 Turbo. Increased boost for around 20secs on full throttle.

Believe it's less than 5 sec.
