I really like those headlights. Hope they come available soon on the C4S! Very soon in fact, as I'm about to finally order one in the next two weeks.
Yes, your C4S avatar gave you away! (but you'll have to replace it with your chosen colour when it arrives....).
I will do that I'm for 90% sure it will be Agate Grey! ;)
I'm just another female petrolhead :)

You cannot choose the LED lights on the new Turbo...they are a standard option as far as I heard.
I also think they look amazing...especially when they are turned on.

I like how do they look with the main beam on, but I'm not sure about the 4-spot light
The 4-spot daylight running light looks amazing in reality. I saw it on a GT3...absolutely amazing (not as good as in the Cayenne/Panamera Turbo/GTS though ).

Some Info from todays Cayman presentation for the upcoming Turbo. Detailed Infos about prices and tech data are available on 20. May. Turbo and Turbo S are released together. As stated month before the price levels are getting quite high. In Austria GT3 is 175km with options about 190k. Last Infos are that Turbo goes around 220k and Turbo S about 260k € with neccesary options. Thats nearly MP4-12C territory (280k) but dealer says that performance for turbo s will be above MP4-12C in terms of lap time (not straight line performance). The dealer allocation for this year are 4 GT3, 1 Turbo and 14 Turbo S !!!. Infos are first hand.

...sounds and looks promising.
Question is how is the price increase considering, that few items will come as standard (PDK/PTV...) if you take 997 turbo as comprision.
On press release date...I think its few days earlier than May 20. Cars at dealers in germany by Sep/Oct.

why wont Turbo S be faste than Mp4-12C in straight line acceleration? its very dissapointing
Because it's cheaper, heavier, and doesn't have a twin turbo V8 that revs to 8,500rpm...
If it really would win on a road course, that's amazing achievement...

Wow - maybe they are using turbocharged version of new GT3 motor with dry sump and high revs (to go with 3rd turbocharger)?

Kreso F1,
will be it really faster than MP4-12C in lap times? and why wont Turbo S be faste than Mp4-12C in straight line acceleration? its very dissapointing
How could the 991 turbo S be faster? It has about 70hp less than the McLaren and is heavier as well. AWD will only help below 60mph.

I dont understand it either... But I believe:)
turbo S has to be the fastest against the competitiob at the moment of release. May it will be underpowered in official figures:))?
