What are the visual differences between the S and the normal 911 after the facelift. l know that the exhausts are different. Is there anything else? l find them identical from the front.

The S has a little bit larger wheel arches, and give a more sporty impression than the normal 911. Differences are also in the engine (more horsepower for the S) and minor settings for the drive train.

Also, the S has red brake calipers (Base 911 has yellow). Base rides on smaller standard rims (18inch) v/s the S which has 19 inchers. S has quad tailpipes, whilst base has dual. Front is the same. If you wanted to, you can easily make the base look like a true S.

if you buy a car based on the way it looks, you are an idiot.

the s has more power, the suspension is firmed up dramatically, and it is a higher top speed.

basically if you're having you're midlife crisis and you just want a 911 to make you feel young, that is what the normal carrera is for.

if you want a serious driving/racing porsche, then that is what the carrera s is for.

Carrera S is a bit wider, has different front bumper, more HP and torque.

Depending on the wheels, there is no difference in the width of the car between a S & a non-S.

There r only two differences between a S & a non-S 911:
1) The S has the electronic shocks & is a bit lower that a non-S that has the standard shocks. The difference is only about an inch, but to the trained eye, it is noticeable.

2) The exhaust is different as others have stated.

The main difference between the S & non-S other than the engine is the standard options that come with the S & r options on the non-S.

So depending on the options, a non-S can be made to look like a S except for the exhaust.
