Hi all, I'm strongly considering trading my 2024 992 Turbo S in on a Cayenne GT, hopefully they are available to order in a reasonable time. My question that I can't seem to find an answer to is "Are GT T's available without the Alcantara bits? I've seen many pictures of interiors and they all have Alcantara dash, steering wheel etc and I'm not a fan. I'm also a big fan of ventilated seats which Alcantara can't provide. Thanks for your help.

The answer is yes you can get leather and ventilated seats, but you could have figured that out on your own if you visited the Porsche site to configure one.

Yes, I've built and ordered 3 different cars on the Configurator. Apparently it was down because the GTT wasn't even showing as an option.
Thanks for your response.

@JTG13 what color is that cayenne?! chalk? just curious - mine is carrara…

This is probably a dumb question but you guys that daily a GT…do you find yourself driving it 90% of the time in comfort mode like a regular cayenne and then 10% of time when the conditions are right laying the hammer down? Or is it hard to resist the temptation and constantly drive like a hooligan? I’m guessing it has more to do with the individuals personality, but thought I would ask. My panamera turbo-s e-hybrid was so refined that sometimes you forgot that it could turn in to a savage beast.

im maybe 60/40 civil to nuisance in the GT. Wayyy harder to not drive like a kid than my panamera ST turbo. The induction noise the GT department was able to pull off paired with cracks on the exhaust make it addicting.

I drive my TGT all the time in Sport mode - perfect balance of sportiness and comfort and the irritating Stop Start is shut off.

I am still breaking mine in, so I am showing some restraint. What I have found so far is that I prefer drive mode in sport and suspension mode in normal. This allows for a comfortable ride and easy access to power when you want it. The TGT handles so darn well I don't feel the need to take it out of normal chassis setting often. To me, these settings allow the TGT to be both cruiser and aggressive without having to fiddle with the modes. I find the TGT gets up to speed so quickly that the more rewarding aspect of the package is the way it handles. To answer your question, even during break-in, I am giving my right foot exercise on a regular basis - it is just too much fun not to. I should add that I did install a Pedal Commander and it has added immensely to my enjoyment of this beast. With the Pedal Commander, I would only use Sport Plus drive mode on a track.

sport mode 90% of the time. Wakes up the car substantially.

JTG13

it’s chalk, correct. The HS is Grigio Hati, which is $20k paint at lambo believe it or not. Non metallic as well.

Sounds good! Looking for something that has a little bit of rawness in every mode ha. I was sortof looking at the E63S, since I heard it was like that, but I think I would miss the Porsche quality. What I want is a 911 GT3 but for daily use (not low profile) and ease of egress ha...so that's why I'm thinking the TGT is the way to go. Thank you all for your feedback!

dasher17

Yes. 2 leather options are available: Black and Black/Bordeax. No cost option.

Another option is to leave in "normal" mode but put transmission in manual and upshift and downshift yourself. Extra sharp shifting and more response with this combo !

Has anyone here gone from a 992 Turbo S to a Cayenne Turbo GT? I'm a little conflicted. Love my Turbo S but it's just not very practical. I do have a 2018 Macan Turbo with the perfomance package as my DD. But I'm considering making some changes. If anyone made the change, do you have any regrets? I think my TTS has retained value close to MSRP so it's not a disaster financially to consider trading it. I've also considered trading just the Macan but having 500+k in 2 cars seems a little over the top for my conservative self. Appreciate any comments.
