Mine is a 2013 "non-S" Sportshift II and it has 7 speeds.

My 13 has 6 pot fronts with floating rotors. How is the S different?

I think the 13 has the same brakes as an earlier S.

Quick summary: For MY2012.25, the standard V8 got most of the V8VS items, including the 7-speed Sportshift II, the brakes, the steering ratio and the suspension settings. It got the N400 sills as standard (the V8VS kept the V12V-style sills), and the front and rear valances from the V8VS/V12V. The front splitter and rear "diffuser" that were carbon fiber on the V8VS and V12V were textured black plastic on the non-S (CF was an expensive option).
