The limited-edition Turbo S makes its world debut in Hall 6 in coup΃© and cabrio form. Its 3.6-litre engine develops 450bhp and promises better responses with improved in-gear acceleration. Offering 0-60mph in 4.2 seconds and a 191mph top speed, the car is revealed as a sign-off to the current 911, the 996 series. The new 997 goes on sale in September. The improved performance over the standard Turbo comes courtesy of larger blowers and a revised engine management system.

Other modifications include an uprated six-speed gearbox, Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes (PCCB) and special dark olive metallic paint. But the upgrades don't come cheap - the Porsche Turbo S Coup΃© costs ΂£99,300 and the Cabriolet ΂£105,030.
