Took delivery at my gym's parking lot this morning. Took it home and snapped a couple pics. Haven't really had a chance to drive it...The user interface is a little different than the Panamera. I noticed the condensation in the headlights as well but it's going away already.
I was looking at the Porsche configurator and the sport design package looks identical on the base or the turbo. If this is not a turbo it’s got the sport tail pipes or sport exhaust. The base cayenne comes with large oval exhaust tips.
It’s a base Cayenne — and a really sharp one at that. Love the SportDesign with those Sport exhaust tips.
FYI, you can tell it’s a base by the single front strip multifunction LEDs under the headlights. With or without the SportDesign kit, only Turbos have dual strip LEDs.
This Cayenne could also be an S or e-Hybrid. Since they’re not in the U.S. yet, it’s a debadged base.

Again — FABULOUS car!
Thanks everyone!
Good eye. Yes it's base with sport exhaust tips. It's the wife's car but I drove it all day today and is loving it. It's got decent power and the new 8 speed Trans is mated perfectly with it.
I will be dropping the car off at Tag Motorsports after Christmas to get the wheels powder coated, the calipers painted (Hybrid Green), and the orange side markers painted. I wish I could black wrap the roof but doesn't look like the roof design allows for it.
Thanks everyone!

Hi OP-- Congrats. looks really sharp.
I am ordering an S with similar options as yours: White, 21" Cayenne Exclusive Design, Sport front fascia (front only, not rear), etc. Also adding Black/Red interior. I was debating these wheels or the 21" RS Spyder Design. I saw a base w/ RS Spyders and it came with 315/35 rubber in the back. Looked really aggressive. Can you confirm you have the same size tires in the back with your wheels?

Yes. 315 in the back. It's funny because 315s used to be a shockingly wide tire size. Right now, all four of the cars in my garage have 315s in the back.

Thank you! I know, anything less than 3xx in the back is too skinny! I have 305 in my Carrera 4S and I refuse any car that has less! Anyways, I think the Cayenne is only just now catching up to the competition. I mean, for years now GLE Coupes, BMW X5s and X6s have come with those type of rubber. It's about time Porsche!
