Turbo GT Thread - MY2024+

911 is likely my replacement for the TGT.

Just got my 2024 TGT which is my first Cayenne. When I drive in Sport mode the TGT reminds me a lot of my previous 911 4s. The vehicle is nimble for its size/weight and steering is very direct and tight. The TGT is a lot easier to get in and out of versus the 911. The fact it has only 4 seats may make it a non starter for you.

Wow that is crazy to hear! So you have a TGT and a GT4? How do they compare? I wouldn't think they would be close to being similar but sounds like I might be really surprised by the GT.

Yeh, do you miss your 911? It is kinda pathetic that I think bout getttng in and out of my 911...but it does happen ha. At mid 40's...maybe I should try yoga. So that's what got me thinking about a GT. I want a little more excitement in my drive. I've got a base '23 carrerra right now...and while it's an amazing car, I think between the difficulty getting in and out (not that big of a deal but it's noticeable) and the lack of an "experience" when driving slow around town...got me thinking the GT might be the right fit. I've got three kids, and so getting in and out of the GT would definitely be easier. I remember when I had the panamera turbo S, I missed my 911...so I'm trying to avoid the same scenario. I think the GT might have the right blend of crazy and daily driving. Thoughts?

The car is in the shop for a bit for upgrades but from a photo I can confirm the rear tires are 305 35 R21. (These are the winter wheels.). Can’t see the fronts clearly enough but can report back for sure when I get the car back.
That said, I believe the fronts are 275 40 R21.
(The winter wheels are 2023 model RS Spyders. You can see the design differences as compared to the ‘24s if you look closely.)

That means your fronts are 4,5% less in diameter than it have to and the rears are 3,8% less

24 is the 9Y0.2, with substantial changes in front end, suspension, interior. Slight bump in power, larger circumference tires. Love my 24 TGT, unbelievable how it performs like a sport car/911 and still is a 5K pound SUV with good daily practicality. Kudos to the GT department, as the prior turbos never were this good.

Today I installed a Pedal Commander on my 24 Turbo GT. I have had my TGT for a little over 3 weeks and driven about 1200 miles. Until today, I was pretty underwhelmed with the delayed response to throttle inputs. I have used a Pedal Commander in some previous vehicles - including a Macan GTS - with outstanding results and thought I should give it a go in the TGT.
WOW, what a difference! The TGT now feels like it should, in my opinion. No more hesitation between depressing the gas pedal and getting a response. There is no more power than before, but it sure feels like a fire-breathing dragon has been added under the hood.
Driving around in Normal mode is now actually enjoyable. Sport is still better, but the difference is MUCH less drastic. I can see the unit paying for itself shortly in saved fuel costs because I will actually now use Normal mode (at least some of the time).
If you have been even slightly unhappy with throttle response in your vehicle, I strongly urge you to give the Pedal Commander (or another throttle-adjusting device) a try. I have no affiliation with Pedal Commander, but have been a satisfied customer for years.
