Default 2011 Cayenne S Arrives - PDCC, Air Susp, PTV

Folks -- my '11 CS just arrived and I picked it up this week. Mostly I wanted to say thanks to the people here who helped me with the option selection process back in January. So: thanks!

My options are different from what many here would choose. If anyone has questions, here are the options I ordered that are a bit off the trail:

Maximum supreme suspension: PDCC, Air, PASM, PTV Plus

3 Spoke Sport Steering Wheel w/paddles

CDR-31 radio

Cargo management system

Again, thanks.

Cool! Forgive me but what is PTV Plus? I assume with how you listed it it has to do with suspension?

Beuatiful, congrats. PTV stands for Porsche Torque Vectoring. At low and medium vehicle speeds, the system significantly increases agility and steering precision, whilst at high speeds, and in combination with the mechanical limited-slip differential, it additionally ensures greater driving stability. PASM, AS, PDCC and PTV is one heck of a combo. Spend some good wheel time with this combo and you will know exactly what it is to have one.

I really like the 21" turbo II's with the standard aluminum trim around the window, looks very classy.

Are the photos taken with the air suspension at loading level or are they taken at the "low" setting?

Looks like a very nice ride, I'm jealous of the PDCC.

Just to add to what wootPORSCHE posted about PTV, it actually uses light application of the brakes to the inside rear wheel in a turn. It works a bit like the 4-wheel steering on some cars and helps rotate the car in a turn while virtually eliminating understeer.

BTW, to Technovc, beautiful car and enjoy it in good health!

Similar setup as mine--I love the sport wheel but am still getting used to the paddles.

Very nice! i have the same look in a TT. Do you have flat or metallic black? I like the first shot a lot!

Looks great. One suggestion is to pop in some clear side markers. Will compliment the black and silver theme.

Never gets old seeing pictures of new toys... Black on black is always classy and looks great, congrats! +1 on the clear side markers.

Exterior shots are with suspension at loading level. I could really see room for an optional sport air suspension with "low" as the standard setting and "load" as the low setting (or something like that). Then the "high" setting would be the same as the current "normal" (which is as high as I can ever imagine needing. Part of this is appearance, but to me the car just feels better on "low".

Car is standard (non-metallic) black. I've spent too much money in the past on metallic black and I always regret it (just not different enough to my eye).

My "Sales Person" (seriously) gets the credit for pointing out that the finish of the Turbo II coordinates with the bright window trim (whereas the SportEdition wheels I was considering look just fine with black trim).

Thanks for the tip on clear side markers.
