Love it!!! I'm really excited to hear impressions from the car, to PECLA, to the drive home... (I'm way too excited for my own PECLA delivery April 1)
Initial car driving impressions:
It's really quite fantastic, probably the most balanced performance luxury car I've ever driven. Dead quiet and smooth even on crappy pavement, but handles as close to a Porsche ICE vehicle when I drive it hard on curvy roads.
My aggressive driving is only limited by the weight of the car (almost 5000 lbs) which the rear axle steer, PDCC and PTV serve to hide pretty well, and the fact my car came with Pirelli all season tires vs their summer performance P Zeros which was kind of a bummer. I plan to shop for 20" summer tire and wheel combo later this year, but for now my setup is pretty good.
Also the PEC-LA delivery was a bunch of fun. My wife and I went to pick up the car, they started the half day session with the car unveiling (pictured above):
After getting the full walkthrough on the car and features, we split our 90 minute driving session (I've done the PEC driving experience before in a 911) so we both did 45 min sessions in a Taycan Turbo sedan (helped me appreciate the power difference between that and my 4S)
I picked up my CT4S from the Porsche Experience Center LA last month, already put around 1200 miles on the car. So far its been a fantastic drive.
Hey Edkwon,
Congratulations on a beautiful CT4S. quick question, is that interior the Slate Grey? I ordered that on my CT4, but have yet to see it in in pics or in person. I also wish I had gotten a 4S allocation but had to take what was there from my dealer. I'm actually back in line for a Taycan GTS ST, but I want to wait until the late year allocations for the photo-electric roof option.
I wonder if I can get the PEC the clear side markers (I already purchased them from Porsche SD), would they install them for me. Other than that (and the jump from a CT4 to a 4S - and I went 21"s), your spec looks eerily similar to mine. Trying for a clean look with no roof rails and off-road cladding. It's also nice to see that the "black" cladding on the wheel wells blends nicely with the Volcano Grey. I'm hoping you did the Vesuvius Grey for the trim too because that looks great (I checked that box too)!

Hope you get your car soon and enjoy it!
You got that right, no roof rails, and Vesuvius Grey inlays. Here's some better exterior images I shot with my camera.
I pick it up PECLA on the 3rd, so can't wait (going to be the longest month ever, lol). Looks like you swapped out to clear the side markers too.
Oh yeah I purchased the clear side markers from Suncoast Parts a couple months before I took delivery of the car. I had them installed when I took my car to a shop to get PPF, Ceramic coat and window tint, 20% all around.

Looks great. I have similar color and build arriving soon for a CT-4 and also doing the clear side marker swap out at delivery. Also ordered cargo rear mat from Porsche Suncoast as well as interior PCM protection film to apply when car gets here. Unfortunately got COVID19 last week so just waiting for release from QT and car to arrive at dealer this week and get prepped...then will pickup next week is the plan!
Wow, maybe. someday. Porsche certainly nailed it and this is a stunning example. Drive and enjoy the new addition I will save my money and hope that my portfolio don't tank next quarter!
