I love it! Sleepers are well-respected in the hot-rodding community. Just yesterday I heard an approaching muscle car; a big V-8 sound announced its arrival. But all I saw in the rear view mirror was a crappy Chrysler 300. After he passed, I realized it was a Chrysler 300 SRT8 with a 475 hp Hemi. Definitely made me smile 😀. Same smile when I hear a Pontiac G8 or a Holden; simple sedans with monster engines.
Imagine the surprise on a Mustang boy-racer’s face when your old piece-of-crap station wagon pops a wheelie off the line 😎
And this broken down truck packs 1,500 horsepower and runs a 9 second quarter-mile.
Sleepers are cool no doubt, but not when you're spending 200k
Kinda all depends on whether you're buying a car to drive or a car to be seen driving.
Agreed! I love the confidence inspiring feel of GT cars. Getting a practical car tweaked by the GT division was a no brainer for me 10 piston brakes, connected steering feel, and sport car stability makes me feel more at ease driving the family around

As a Ferrari collector, I enjoy the fact that my TGT isn’t loud and brash. To most people it’s just another Cayenne. While understated, the Cayenne is the quintessential daily driver. I’ve never been a Lambo fan, but appreciate that we all have options.
For me, the Urus loses me at the rear brakes. I think it says a lot about the car and the choices that were made. The single piston calipers seem so compromised compared to even the base model Cayenne rear brakes.

100% I noticed the tiny rear caliper as well and it looks so bizarre.
Personally, I would take the TGT over the Urus any day as I am not a fan of the Lambo brand image. Oddly enough, the Urus is also pretty common in my area whereas I have only seen 1-2 TGTs.

I was looking at a few different used ones online and noticed that some had that single piston Audi back caliper and others had a different, more Porsche like system. Not sure if it is an option or they changed it at some point in a model year.
