Default Turbo S Porsche Exclusive Edition

I'm surprised nobody on the Turbo board is talking about this car?

More power
Lightweight body
Sport suspension
Special interior
Special one-off exterior color
Limited edition 500 cars worldwide

I would get one if I didn't have my 991.1 Turbo S already.

I've heard about it but can't find any info more than you provided. Color? Combo? Price? Any links? Appreciate it.

No links yet. This car will be launched soon.

Better go bug your dealer about it, because there aren't many coming to the US.

Price is quite a bit higher than the standard Turbo S, but you are also getting a very special paint with very special exterior/interior touches.

Why get excited about another Porsche that 99% of us can't purchase? I'm perfectly ecstatic still about my '15 TTS Cab 2.5+ years into ownership as well.

And here I thought having a "run of the mill" TTS was beyond my (earlier in life) wildest dreams and pretty exclusive in and of itself.... I consider myself very, very fortunate to be able to have what I have.

I honestly think this Turbo S LE will be a better driver's car than the GT2 RS.

Sort of like 991 GT2 RS with a X90 Touring Pkg (from the upcoming 991.2 GT3).

Well, if it's 500 cars total, it's more exclusive than 918, so the exclusive edition name fits. I'd want it if I did not have 991.2 to be delivered just days before this LE will be announced. I guess I'll see it at Goodwood. Also, getting those limited editions is a pain in the but. I'd pay way more just to avoid that crap.

Umm no it is not more exclusive than a 918, it is still a 991.2 TTS right?

Don't get me wrong, I'm sure its great, its just that their blatantly obvious marketing strategy is hilarious.

Liquid metal paint was a $60K option on the 918.

I'm treating this thread with a dose of skepticism large enough to knock on the door of disbelief.

What I can believe is Porsche testing the limits of the limited edition collector: How ridiculous does it have be before even the collectors call bu||$h1+ on it.
