What is the difference between the Cayenne Turbo and Turbo S ?
The 1st generation Cayenne Turbo had 450 horsepower (340 kW), and accelerated from 0 to 60 mph (97 km/h) in 5.3 seconds.
A Turbo S version was built in 2006 to compete with the Mercedes-Benz ML63 AMG. The Cayenne Turbo S included a low-range case, a locking differential, and the height-adjustable, off-road suspension also standard on the regular Turbo model. It was powered by a twin-turbocharged 4.8-liter V8 that produced 500 bhp (370 kW) and 700 NM of torque. Acceleration from 0-60 mph (96 km/h) was 5.0 seconds and the top speed was 171 miles per hour. It featured a 6-speed automatic Tiptronic transmission.
A new Turbo was revealed at the 2008 Beijing auto show. It received 50 hp (37 kW) more power, and now accelerated from 0-60 mph (96 km/h) in 4.9 seconds.
Also revealed with the new Turbo was a new 550 horsepower (410 kW) Turbo S. Acceleration from 0-60 mph is 4.7 seconds and has optional ceramic composite brakes.

I think the 2006 Cayenne Turbo S had a 4.5 liter engine, not a 4.8. Also had different tunning and a bigger intercooler than the normal turbo. The new Gen 2 turbo has a 4.8.

I had the privilege of driving a new turbo s at a Porsche event last week and i also noticed a fair amount of lag until around 3500rpm and then hang on for dear life. The turbo s is just an amazing machine.
