Porsche’s 911 Turbo S Spreads Its Gold-Plated Wings as the 911 Exclusive

The Porsche 911 Turbo S offers supercar-humbling acceleration and incredible top-end performance for under $200,000. However, until the next 911 GT2 RS breaks cover with what we expect to be well over 600 horsepower, Porsche enthusiasts can only graduate from the 911 Turbo S to the sold-out, $845K Porsche 918 Spyder.

Fortunately, Porsche now has a remedy. The 911 Turbo S Exclusive will bring more power, unique styling, and a loftier price point to satisfy those that want more of, well, everything. Specifically, the Exclusive Series will increase power to 607 horses (up 27 over the Turbo S) and drop 0 to 124 mph acceleration by 0.3 seconds, to 9.6 seconds. 0-60 is still quoted at 2.8 seconds, but we’d wager the right conditions could knock a tenth of a second off that. Same goes for the top speed of 205 mph.

Apart from the additional power, the 911 Turbo S Exclusive gets a golden-yellow metallic paint, center-locking 20-inch wheels in black and gold, black and gold carbon ceramic brakes, a larger carbon fiber rear wing, a carbon fiber roof and trunk, dual black exhaust tips, and a redesigned front fascia.

Inside, gold accents are sprinkled throughout the cabin, copper thread is woven into the carbon fiber treatments, and 911 Exclusive badging adorns both doorsills. Porsche has also designed a watch and luggage package to accompany the vehicle. The five-piece luggage set will retail for $6,324 and the watch has yet to be priced.

By the time Porsche’s “Exclusive Manufaktur” is finished with the 911 Turbo S, a once-reticent supercar has been fully extracted from its shell.

Only 500 Porsche 911 Turbo S Exclusives will be built worldwide, each at a starting price of $257,500. Porsche is currently taking orders, so if you gotta have that gold, raise your wallets now!

2025 Polaris Sportsman 570 Touring Premium: Reliability meets off-road fun
A reliable workhouse and a rugged companion for the trails.
Riding the 2025 Polaris Sportsman 570 Touring Premium

We took a first look at the 2025 Polaris Sportsman 570 Premium, a quad that can be both a reliable workhorse and a rugged companion for the trails. Taking it for a spin on my five-acre Christmas tree farm, the new ATV from the company famous for the RZR is designed with both comfort and performance in mind, with easy-to-access controls and seating that should keep you happy, even if you’re spending a lot of time on rough terrain.

Two-up seating makes it perfect for taking a companion along with you as you hit the trail. The extra seat is equally comfortable, boasting integrated handholds and footrests to keep your passenger secure, meaning they don't have to hold onto the driver's waist the entire time — something that could easily get tiring depending on the length of your ride. (You don't need any tools to remove or add the extra passenger seat, which makes it a particularly convenient feature, turning it from a farm or ranch vehicle into a weekend ATV you can enjoy with your partner, friend, or kid quickly and easily.)

F1 Las Vegas Grand Prix Thursday practice sessions: Dusty, chilly, and windy
Las Vegas Grand Prix race circuit is transformed back to public use during the daytime.

Mercedes, McLaren, and Ferrari drivers had the best lap times during the two 2024 Formula 1 Las Vegas Grand Prix practice sessions on Thursday, November 21. All ten teams had to deal with chilly temperatures and slippery track surfaces. Several drivers commented on cold, windy conditions and slick tracks to their engineers via radio and in post-practice public statements.

The Las Vegas Grand Prix is a street circuit race, which poses challenges F1 teams don't face with dedicated closed race tracks. The Las Vegas circuit transforms twice each 24 hours from Thursday to Saturday because it's open to public traffic during the daytime but then converts to a closed race track in the evening.

F1 Las Vegas Grand Prix: Four teams dress up with special race care livery
Alpine, Kick Sauber, Visa Cash App RB, and Williams dress up for Vegas
Visa Cash App RB F1 Team 2024 Las Vegas livery.

Alpine, Kick Sauber, Visa Cash App RB, and Williams Racing all adopted special looks for the F1 Las Vegas Grand Prix 2024. There's no single reason why Formula 1 racing teams adopt special paint jobs and graphics for individual races. Sometimes, it's to promote a sponsored event, such as a Marvel film debut. Earlier this year, Haas and Alpine had unique livery for the United States Grand Prix in Austin, Texas.

Whatever the reasons for the one-time race car appearance changes, if there's any place to dress up, it's gotta be Vegas. We'll have to wait for the next race in Qatar to see whether, with livery as with other things, what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.
