"I was on the trip, and I am sure others will have reports and pictures soon. In summary, the CGT is a race car modified well for street use. Performance and roadholding are stunning, and finish is excellent.

The factory (and associated race and SUV track) is absolutely first rate. For a note on driving a Cayenne Turbo on the track and SUV course, see my post on the Cayenne Board.

Am off on a business trip, or would add more now. If you are a customer for the CGT, get ready for one powerful, brutal, beautiful experience. This is new ground for a street Porsche..."

In London now, but I guess I'll post a short write up. It was nice meeting Syd, Larry and all the other participants who attended.

The CGT itself is a car on another planet. If you thought the Turbo or GT2 is insane, wait until you sit in this thing. The acceleration, cornering, OMG...(crazy G forces!) It's hard to describe the feeling unless you're there to experience it. There was a black and silver CGT we got to ride in. The driver of the black one was definitely the more aggressive of the two...constantly dropping the clutch and peeling out of the pitlane. The sound just gave you goose bumps. In addition, the black CGT is this guy's personal every day car. That's how a car should be...daily driver by day...race car on the weekend. Just shows you how usable the CGT can be. Really though, this car was made for the track...only place you can explore its full potential."
