Having driven many a S and owning a GTS I can tell you straight up there is a big difference. If you get a S with all the bits of gear that the GTS comes standard with then yeah, not much difference.
But you would have paid the premium

just read this from the brochure, its not standard on GTS.

Another feature that’s standard
on the Cayenne Turbo and optional
on the other three models is
self-levelling air suspension with
Porsche Active Suspension
Management (PASM – see page 76).

To me its a 1/2 GTS without air suspension.
Never encountered a GTS missing AS on this side of the pond.

How reliable is the 4.8 GTS please?, I had a 3.2 and has generally been good.

Thanks

Mine has 162,000 miles and no issues at all. Doesn't burn any oil at all and still pulls very hard. Great car

I generally travel at 80mph, so not the most efficient speed. On long highway runs, I can get slightly over 15miles per gallon, but only slightly. Actually, regardless of highway or commute I get right around 15 day in and day out.

Love my GTS, only hate that most have oil leaks, very expensive to address. I was quoted $5300.

It's the first Cayenne to echo Porsche sports-car practice by matching its amazing Active Suspension Management system with steel springs instead of with air suspension - but not on GTS models sold in America because of federal ride-height regulations concerning the Cayenne's classification as a light truck. U.S. models instead will get, as with the other Cayennes in the lineup, PASM combined with air suspension.
