Autoweek on new turbo
Outstanding summary for autoweek. Turbo has 520 HP, 0-60 3.2s; 'S' has 560 HP, 0-60 2.9s. Both come with auto-pdk at launch time. Turbo 'S has LED headlights (whoopee), also sdt on 'S' are porsche dynamic chassis antiroll (optional on sdt turbo) and both come with rear-wheel steering. Cars have new AWD system. Hey too, there's an inflatible ft spoiler and rear wing has 3-positions(more whoopees).
Another amazing and surely pain in butt feature, pdk has stop/start that is activated even at low speeds as well at stops. Hopefully, one may be able to turn this off as engine shows age.
Pricing is getting absurd, Turbo starts at $150K and $182K for turbo 'S'. Not sure how porsche rationalizes such costs with GTR nearly half the cash of 'S' with same mandatory auto-trans and 0-60 speeds. However, Porsche new turbos (due end '13) are a bit smaller, lighter and do look a bit more sportier than the GTR.
