I am going to trade in my 2011 Panamera turbo for another Cayenne (I had 2 turbos in past) . Should I go with the turbo or wait for the gts that I hear will be coming in June or July?

 

I have both the Panamera Turbo and Cayenne Turbo (both 2011's)...what don't you like about the PTT that you like about the CTT?

 

Any official news about the Cayenne GTS ?!

 

Turbo

 

I want another SUV . The Panamera is great though there are some things I wish they did differently make the car more engaging . The exhaust is to quiet even with sport. The car feels big and doesn't give me the rush my 911 did. I thought the Panamera would be the best of both worlds my dd and my toy but it hasn't. So I would probably end up getting another 911 also.
The GM at my dealership told me the GTS will be here in June or July. I read in one of the forums it may have the PDK transmission.

 

I went through the same thing...I traded in my 997.2 C4S cabriolet when I got my Panamera Turbo thinking the same thing...that it would be my daily driver and would be fun enough to replace a sports car. After about 3 months, I got a 911 GTS in addition and am now lucky enough to have the perfect combo. Nothing will ever replace a true sports car...no matter how fast!

 

PDK sounds interestingly fun.
I feel the GTS won't be the power you want or are used to in a turbo.

I'd go for a fully optioned turbo and then upstage the power kit in time.
My plan at least.

 

I have a 2011 CT
I have driven my mother around in it plenty of times
She does not drive,but has been driven in many different cars
She is demanding, and rightly so, expects a comfy ride
One day i picked her up in a 2011 Panamera loaner
Unanimous verdict:"I prefer the Cayenne"
Another advantage of the Turbo are the tunning possibilities:
Along with my Tubi exhaust,once i have my GIAC ecu upgrade,i will be around 600hp
Along with PDCC,PTV and PCCB's,you are set

 

I haven't heard of any news for GTS from my dealer. I assume it usually out after the Turbo S and we have yet to see the Turbo S.

I would go for a CTT with power kit upgrade so that you get the power you used to have.

 

I had my '11 Cayenne Turbo in for service a few weeks ago and the dealer gave me a Panamara 4S to drive. Forgetting the power difference, I was not enamored with it at all. Much prefer the Cayenne. In no way are either a replacement for the 997 Turbo/S. I sold my 458 Italia a few months ago because in the real driving world, I much preferred our '11 Turbo S.

 

I have emailed GIAC and have heard nothing about the CTT tuning program... I've also heard that the CTT has a different DME than the PTT and the newer DME for the CTT cannot be hacked and must have a "piggy back" unit like exists from a couple of other companies.

 

+1 I have the piggy back EVOMS unit and when I did it, GIAC had nothing for the CTT. I woud have used GIAC if it had been available only because of my great experience with them on mu '08 997 Turbo - not because of any problems with EVOMS. That being said, I am VERY happy with the EVOMS unit. GIAC still does not show anything for the CTT on their web site.
