An optional โคnose-lift feature is available.
Aerodynamic enhancements include โขactive aerodynamics, active cooling with vertical vanes in โคthe nose (shared with โฃthe GTS), an active front diffuser, โคa variable front spoiler, and an extendableโข and tilting rear wing. โThe Turbo S also benefits from a wider body and track, incorporating air intakes aheadโ of the frontโ wheels, a newโ lower rear bumper design withโ vents, and a unique exhaust outlet. A partially titanium sports โexhaust is standard, with customizable outlet and finisher options. โข Exterior detailing โฃincludes ‘Turbonite’ gray accents.
Inside, the turbo S features Turbonite color detailing andโ ‘Turbo S’โฃ branding on the embossedโ headrests of theโฃ Adaptive 18-way Sports Seats Plus. New ‘carbon-structured’ trim strips and a โคmicrofibre headliner are also included.
