Real world 100 to 200 kph real life (Auto Top NL) test data from various cars (interesting figure for the 992 Turbo S):
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1YI-Q8I_rjruFLja2AU448NsNX6hCU5JQKp_4mdUR9VQ/htmlview
Comparing it to my Huracan Performante, the 992 Turbo S is 0.04 seconds faster...from 100 to 200 kph. Not very impressive.
From 0-250 kph, things look a little bit better for the 992 Turbo S: The 992 Turbo S is 1.03 seconds faster.

A friend just mentioned to me that in both tests - the AB Sportscar test quoted above and the video from the NL - they indeed tested high-speed acceleration in Sports Plus mode, as I already speculated in my above post. If you look at the videos you can see "SportsPlus" was activated... Thus, these acceleration times are pretty much understated. The rear wing in Sports Plus is much steeper even with the 992 turbo than with the earlier generation. The aerodynamics in this mode are optimized for track use - not for high-speed use.
If you repeat the same test (200-300, 0-300 etc.) in Sports mode (or in Normal with the boost button) you will achieve between 24-25s, I would expect, based on my experience with the 991.2 
The time you gain from different aerodynamics may actually be lost by the slower gear shift and lower boost in Normal or Sports mode. Would be worth trying.
We had only the chance to do some comparison driving under 240 kph (traffic 
) and there was basically no difference (although my Performante runs pretty well, especially after the first inspection after 10000 km, I have a comparison with a different Performante with almost 30000 km and I leave him behind quite fast, especially over 160 kph 
but it is no secret that the V10 engines vary a lot in power and most of them don't deliver the claimed 640 hp, with very few exceptions). Turbo S for comparison had 3000 km only though, so maybe it runs a little bit better once it is run in. Driver was in Sport and Sport Plus mode, can't say what he used on the Autobahn.
What I remember very well was however the other driver's (Turbo S) remark how he heard my Performante exhaust sound louder than his own car...in his car...with the windows closed 
.
I like how the Turbo S is looking, only the front could be a little bit more "exotic". The price of the test-car was slightly under 250k, ouch.
I will drive the car myself again soon, maybe I can throw in a little review. All I can say is that it is a fantastic handling car but I still wish the 4WD setup would be a bit more neutral.
