If you’re coming from a loaded performance options cayenne GTS, can you compare it to how the turbo GT handles?

Do you know if that exterior Porsche logo on the door is painted or is it a decal that can be removed. I’m not a fan but that auction car looks nice otherwise

decal. I had to have it removed to apply the ppf. It was a shame.

Any idea why the standard car only has 8 way seats. If you option the 18s you can’t get the two tone alcantara

Weight Savings 18 ways are a zero cost option but yes, you do lose the special interior.

just my thought. I would have spec'd leather if I were to build it from scratch, i've never done the gts interior on any car past but now having it I like it a lot. the seats are super grippy too which I haven't experienced before. they are super comfy too. I just worry about their longevity.

i've always done 18 ways myself.

Another consideration. 8-ways do not have memory package, nor do they come with electrically adjusted steering column. If you are the sole driver, no problem, right?

However, this affects yet another feature; Easy Entry. You lose the very handy feature which raises the steering column and moves the seat backwards when you exit the vehicle.

No the memory seat is there for the driver side and the electric steering column is still there. The only thing you lose is the easy entry/exit feature. So the workaround on this is to program your exit position in one of the 3 memory settings and press the button when you leave the car.

If you compare the two seat options, you will see that the 8 way sport seat on the Turbo GT has a more aggressive side bolster than the 18 ways sport seats. In essence, one is a sport seat and the other is a comfort seat if that makes any sense.

Great info unotaz. That’s different from what the configurator led me to believe. Thanks for clarifying!

Reason I ask is I feel for this special GT cars I think you would want the special interior. I have a lead on a new one in the color I want (Arctic grey) but it’s all leather and 18 ways. I also found a few basically new used ones with the 8 way and the black/neodymium color combo I want but no acc. I’ve actually found acc to be pretty useful in my 2022 Taycan turbo S as they seem to have improved it a fair bit from my 2021 to the 2022 MY. I really want a car with both especially if I’m spending 200k on an SUV

I have ACC and honestly never used it on my TGT. It's such a drivers car for me that I see no need unless your always in stop and go traffic, and I agree with you on the interior, I couldn't imagine owning one of these with leather personally but I am a big fan of race tex / alcantara.

I have acc and would gladly give it to you, sounds like you use it.

If the new and used Ones are same price same mileage I would do the GTS interior. It goes with the car.
