Also interesting (not sure if this has been mentioned already): The redline of the Turbo engine is at 7000 rpm, the redline of the Turbo S at 7200 rpm.
Just a few fun facts...
I find it hard to believe that they gave the S a higher red line it is very un Porsche like historically also there is little reason for increasing the red line on a Porsche turbo engine as peak power is usually made in mid 6000s with drop off soon after, unless they have made big changes Vs the A91 which I doubt
They did...this is actually one of the few facts I found. This is why I also think that the Turbo S will surprise performance-wise vs. the regular Turbo, even if the first numbers may not indicate that. Gear ratio is the same though (fact). A lot is software nowadays, like for example the more direct steering I mentioned.
