Default PTT runs great at altitude!

After shoulder surgery last week, I had to make a run up to Vail to see my surgeon and it was my first opportunity to drive the PTT at high altitude (above 10,000') and I was very impressed. My Audi A8L W12 certainly had no issues w/ power but the Panny is in a completely different class. The amount of room I could create between me and the cars behind is astounding on steep mountain grades.

Of course any story improves w/ pics, so here she is parked outside my home in Beaver Creek and another on top of Vail pass on a bluebird Colorado day - enjoy!

I can't believe how many compliments I've gotten on the amazing color of this car since I've taken ownership 2 weeks ago.

I have a 2014 PTT and previously had a 2012 P4S. I can safely say the P4S suffered a bit on the high passes but the PTT just keeps on going. Enjoy and love the color.

Nice to hear from another local Front Ranger - I guess the color of my car is the reason it wouldn't sell, but I've gotten more compliments on it than any other car (or color) that I've ever owned.

Taking my 2010 PTT up to aspen this weekend. It just charges up 70.

In October, my son and I took Kebler pass to created butte from aspen, that was an adventure. I felt like a rally driver ...:-)

Awesome! That's what these cars are made for, although I'll stick w/ my H2 for anything that resembles off-roading...
