Turbo…no carbon ceramics in there
I know someone who got just the regular 992 Turbo because the carbon ceramic brakes annoyed him in his 991 Turbo S.
Those are problems I would like to have…
hahaha. Talk about some first world problems. :)
Another person I know had the problem that he wasn’t able to get his GT3 Touring new, so he had to buy it used (with like 500km)… it wasn’t in the paint he wanted the most :(
5 lug wheels = non-S
You can get a Turbo S w/o center locks, I wouldn’t but you can
Turbo, I think, because it only has turbo rims, not the turbo S rims
Either a turbo or tubro s. Because of the vents in front of the rear wheels.
These are the wheels that come standard on the turbo so I would bet $100 it’s a turbo not a Turbo S, though I have seen a Turbo S come with these wheels out of preference.
Interesting, thank you!
Debadging reminds me of the 2003 BMWs. Like they were really ashamed they were a BMW 318.
What a weird way of saying you’ve never been to Europe lol
Debadging is for people who understand that badges are for showing off, nothing else.
Badges are just added weight.
No they’re for people who don’t want other people to know what they drive. Mostly this means people trying to convince laymen that their kitted 316 is an m3
Debadging is for people who debadge to be able to tell everyone that they debadged their car.
Like a 911 isn’t showing off to begin with. If you wanted to be stealth, you’d drive a Kia.
There are a lot more showoffy cars than a 911 especially outside of the GT models. They’re pretty subtle.
My other car is a Kia.
My man
A lot of cars are debadged in europe, it just looks cleaner. I had debadged my e39 m5 when I had one.
i took the badges off my M4 feel like it looks cleaner ionno
🧢
I’m with you. I would de badge any car Love the clean body look
Pics or it didn’t happen
Crooked (not applied straight although the dealer could be crooked too) dealer badges are the best-also love matching dealer license plate frames
im out of town for thanksgiving but ill grab something when im back if its that hard to believe😭
I debadged my 2004 M3 and my 2015 S63 Coupe. Both cars look much better without them.
It’s a factory option and free of charge.
A lot of people opt no badge for their ordered car since it’s cleaner and it helps to go under the radar a bit.
Badges just look like shit
I got my turbo s debadged and some kids came up and said I like your turbo s. I asked how they knew and they said it’s on my headrests🤦🏼. I had no idea and I thought I was being tricky and stealth. Haha
and front bumper is also exclusive for these models.
De badging is a factory option
is it de badging, or is it not putting them on in the first place
It’s what you’re saying, but they call it de-badging. More accurately never badge.
I wish that was more common among manufacturers. It’s one of the first things I do to all of my vehicles.
but why
The most distinct difference besides the badge are the brakes. The regular Turbo comes with steel brakes as standard while the S features the carbon ceramics from factory. So if it had ‘small’ brakes with red or black calipers, it was a non-S.
Apart from that, if the owner didn’t order sports-exhaust, the quad exhaust-tips on a Turbo are finished in chrome, the ones on the S are finished in black.
You can order a turbo with ccb
You can, but you might as well just get a turbo s at that point. The price difference between a Turbo and Turbo S is £20k, and PCCB is £8k. Also it’s really uncommon for people to spec PCCB on anything that isn’t a GT series car.
my step dads panamera has CCB, definitely a good choice
Also the turbo s comes with center locks.
You can get 5 bolts on the Turbo S as a no cost option. Some people do to avoid the centerlocks and some people like the Turbo wheels as seen here
PCCB can be optioned in black.
I don’t think a turbo S comes in a 5 lug.
You can option 5-lug-wheels on a Turbo S.
No center locks… so likely not a turbo S
Funny how many downvotes i got on this comment, 95% of turbo S have center locks smh must be some real idiots in this forim that know nothing about p cars
most likely a standard turbo. a turbo s comes with center lock wheels (you can option 5 lug wheels, but why pay extra to get lugs when you can get center locks).
Have a gts and had to choose between centerlocks vs 5 lugs and I specc’d lugs because if you have a flat could get screwed since many places don’t have the specialized equipment to remove centerlocks and put them back on.
Yep, centerlocks look cool, but good luck living with them.
I can tell we both have/had centerlocks, because this is my same sentiment. People who have never owned them think they’re the best thing since sliced bread.
Once you do, you realize how much extra effort it takes to do tire changes, patches, even some services.
Doesn’t matter WHAT it is! It’s preeeetty!
The wheels say Turbo to me.
Turbo s,bc of the spoiler
Turbo S and Turbo have the same spoiler
This thread shows just how watered down the S in Turbo S has become…
Hmm no badge no mono lugs. Something shady no doubt
BADGES?
We don’ need no steenkin BADGES!
