My Cayenne CTT with PDCC and 21' wheels drives awesome, handles and grips like a sports car when the air springs are adjusted to the lowest height. However, I do feel the heft when making hard turns. It will hold...but the weight is there and felt too "heavy" to be a true sports car.

I've driven base Pana loaner on several occasions for extended time. Not a very fair comparison against an optioned out CTT. The Pana handling was firm and sport-sedan like while still plush. However, my beef with it is that the car felt too "long" around the corners.

Very cool color and spec. I love my 957 GTS but who knows may pick a 958 up within the next few years.

What color is the interior on that? I looked at a black GTS with Peridot interior accents and it was a very sharp combo!

Very dark tinting on those front side windows too.

do tell us more details on how you got it, options, etc. I've driven next to one this color too,.... up on the NJ Turnpike last year. It looked freaking awesome in the sunshine.

carmax south florida had it, free transfer to Orlando. It does not have the alcantara seats or green stitchin, full leather with heated/ac seats. Sticker new was $107k, carmax price $69k. Only 10k miles and 2.5 years of new car warranty left. I had the front windows tinted to match back. Fits in well with my collection

Here's the build sheet:
