Must have options for turbo cayenne?
I currently have a 991.2 turbo s cab. My wife a 991 gts 4. Was planning on keeping both and adding a 2019 turbo cayenne. It will be our first cayennne. Local dealer has a couple turbo allocations. It’ll be a 3rd commuter vehicle for us to share.
We are going to use the car in Florida. No offroad. Later in the cars life it could end up at our place in the mountains so roads and snow may be slightly more of an issue.
Thoughts on must have accessories on the build?
Was planning Sport chrono of course. Also planning on torque vectoring and dynamic chassis.
What suggestion do you all have?
Thanks in advance,
Dane

Options that I have on my GTS that are must haves are PDCC (i think you have it listed), 4-zone AC, heated steering wheel, parking sensors and roof rails. Little things like the lighting comfort package is nice at night, plus I love LED headlights on my other cars. If I were ordering a new Cayenne, I would also include the thermal windows and the vented seats.

Thanks all.
In my cab cab I got the upgraded stereo. Kind of feel it was a waste. The only time it sounds noticeably that great is through the CD player.
if I remember right it’s Bose vs Burmeister? Worth it?
The roof racks do look cool.

I have an order in and have checked a lot of boxes. Need the roof racks, want PDCC, rear steering and PTV and Burmester. Got the Bose in my 911 TT and regret it. Given the price point you should get what you want. Some want more, some want less - I like that Porsche gives people choices.

Rear steering tends to make cars more responsive at speed and more maneuverable in tight spaces. My guess is that it will make the Cayenne feel smaller and more nimble. I'm on the fence about PTV+ but in my build it's almost a rounding error. We passed on getting PTV on my wife's Macan - the discussions in the Macan forums are about 50:50 on the value of PTV for most driving.

I going to do "Select All" package. My dealer loves me :-). But seriously, PDCC, Tow package, roof rails, maybe cooled seats, park assist, and rear window shades for kids to sleep on longer drives would be enough.

First-time Porsche buyers here. My wife and I are waffling between an S and Turbo and are on waitlists for both. Ervin, can I ask you why you’re against the Sport Chrono? We both have it as a must-have. But being newbies, maybe we’re stupid.
As for other options on the Turbo, most are cosmetic — black rails / door handles / window trim / mirrors. Club Leather in Cohiba Brown / Truffle. Massaging / ventilated / heated seats. Premium Package Plus. Clear taillights. ParkAssist with Surround View (she’s gotten used to top-down 360 cameras). Anthracite Chestnut trim. Maybe the matching steering wheel.
The S options list is much longer (including SportDesign package, which we’re skipping on the Turbo — she hates all the gray lower plastic on the S, a problem the SD package solves) and basically builds a Turbo without the V8 for $13K less. I’ve convinced her the V8 is the right choice. Didn’t take much convincing. She likes speed more than I do. If she had her druthers, we’d buy her a 911 Turbo S!
Rennlist is great, folks. I’ve really learned a lot and enjoyed your posts.
