Porsche will overhaul the "Turbo" trims across its portfolio to improve consistency in aesthetics and differentiation from non-Turbo models, the company announced Tuesday. Going forward, Turbo models will be easier to tell apart from standard offerings of the same model, with emphasis being placed on the Porsche crest, which will no longer come in the standard gold color seen throughout the company's existing portfolio.

"For almost 50 years, the Turbo models have enjoyed an exalted position at Porsche," the company said in its announcement. "To emphasize their unique standing, Porsche is introducing distinct design elements to sharpen their look and distinguish them from other models in the range."
