Porsche sets price for 911 Turbo S Exclusive

Porsche Australia forecasts “extremely limited numbers” of the 911 Turbo S Exclusive Series making it to Australia, out of the global run of just 500 units.

Surpassing the rest of the range, the new 911 variant is priced from $590,700 and, for that sort of money, the rarer-than-usual 911 features a more powerful (446kW) engine and special materials and finishes to lift the car’s presentation to an even higher level.

According to the manufacturer, the car will complete the 0-100km/h dash in 2.9 seconds, and carry on to a 330km/h top speed. The engine is rated at 750Nm and fuel economy is officially 9.1L/100km.

Assembled in Zuffenhausen by the ‘Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur’ workshop – previously ‘Porsche Exclusive’, for 30 years – the 911 Turbo S Exclusive is offered in Golden Yellow Metallic paint, complemented by the same colour accent for the black 20-inch wheels with central hub fasteners. Buyers specifying ceramic brakes can also order the brake calipers in black featuring the Porsche legend in Golden Yellow Metallic. The bonnet, roof and side skirts are carbon-fibre and woven strips in the bonnet and roof coordinate with the look of the car.

Other features adding to the unique style of the Exclusive Series comprise a Turbo Aerokit rear wing, the revised rear apron, a carbon scoop for air induction and black, stainless steel exhaust tail pipes.

Porsche also offers the Exclusive Series in colours other than Golden Yellow Metallic.

Standard equipment for the limited-edition model includes Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control, Porsche Active Suspension Management and Sport Chrono package. There’s a wristwathc available through Porsche that matches the on-board unit in the car. Like the car, the Porsche Design Chronograph 911 Turbo S Exclusive Series watch is limited to 500 units. The watch features lightweight titanium construction with a black titanium carbide coating.

Inside, the front seats adjust 18 different ways and are upholstered in two layers of perforated leather, with the inner layer trimmed in the signature Golden Yellow colour. This same colour is used for the seams and the embroidered Turbo S legend on the headrests. The colour in a double-stripe array is also present in the Alcantara headlining. Fine copper is threaded throughout the carbon trim strips.

There’s a unique build plate on the passenger’s side and the door sills are finished in carbon-fibre with illuminated ‘Exclusive Series’ lettering.
