Turbo GT Thread - MY2024+
#151
I had a 2017 Macan Turbo and moved to a '22 TGT. Waaay different vehicle, much more powerful and better handling. It's a different feel-bigger, heavier, but it is also much rawer if you want it to be. I always wanted more from my Macan-not so from the TGT !

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. My Macan is modified and a step toward the TGT but I realize it's a night and day difference with the TGT.
Is the suspension adjustable? I will be using it in rough roads and prefer the normal (softer) setting in the Macan in things like cobble stone or bad roads.

Have people read the Urus SE release? Very disappointing as its just a Turbo S e-hybrid with GT package (or whatever they are calling it). Massive weight penalty, softer styling, and comes with barely noticeable interior changes.
Safe to say the TGT will remain the driver's SUV of choice for the next 2-3 years.

Finally got an allocation for a fall build. Excited to get one. Turning in my 992 TTS. What do you all think?

I'm not sure if the wheels are painted or powder-coated. My previous Cayenne Turbo's wheels were in almost new condition after ten years on the same roads. YMMV.
But they do look darn good. I prefer shiny wheels over matte finish.

Matte black wheels here and not a single flaw so far in ~9 months with the car. I know its all personal, but they set off the PCCBs much better to my eye.
Congrats on the allocation! You will fall in love with the TGT!

I was debating between the black and satin deep blue but ended up going with the blue. Here's my build: http://www.porsche-code.com/PRDY5JF4 It's on the Lake Taupo and should be at Jacksonville in 6 days and then to my dealer in Melbourne hopefully not long after.

What I did! So thankful that I made that decision.
And, regarding the ride, I just switched back to my delivery tires (Corsas) from my winter tires. Big ride difference! Winter tires provide a less noisy and softer ride.

I have contacted every performance company I could find, inquiring about tunes, and nothing is available for the 2024MY yet. While I am enjoying the vehicle, I do feel it badly needs to be woken up with an aftermarket tune. There is, as usual, far too much latency built into the throttle delivery system. I had hoped that TechArt would release their tune in the USA, but they refuse to ship it here. Adding exhaust components/downpipes will open up the sound without a noticeable horsepower gain, until the ECU can be unlocked. COBB will write a tune if they have enough interest and a car to test. We need to join forces to give them an incentive to prioritize the project!

I dont understand how anyone can trade in a Turbo S for a cayenne GT. Cars are 1500 lbs apart and have same power. And cayenne comes with that abysmal transmission that feels too much like an SUV for it to play a sports car role. It does 11 second 1/4 mile with a 13 mph trap speed difference. They are not even close. I think cayenne’s acceleration is on par with a GT3 in a straight line. If you are letting go of a TTS and not missing it, you probably werent driving it hard enough.
I do have a cayenne gts and I would get the tgt if it came with a tow hitch in SUV form.
