Talking purely technical here, the S models have the following over the base:

Tech:
6 speed vs 5 speed gearbox.
3.2 l vs 2.7 l engine.
Bigger brake calipers (red painted) made by Brembo.
Bigger (cross drilled) brake rotors.
Three (vs two) coolant radiators @ the front of car.
Larger oil cooler (heat exchanger).

Non Tech.
Silver dials.
twin exhaust outlet.
Several badges and decals.

Not a lot, but what a lot of people miss about the driving with the smaller 2.7 l engine is not so much the power (HP) difference with the 3.2 l, but the torque increase at low to medium revs with the bigger engine.
To me that was the deciding factor......
