GTS ride quality?

Hey guys, do you think the 958 GTS will have a teeth jarring suspension as the 957 did? Cant find any drive reviews yet and never drove a 957 -S- or Base to compare its ride back to back with the 957 GTS.
I would like to move up from my 11's CS and a loaded GTS fills the niche just fine.
Said that, I love the way my 11' rides, its very comfortable and sporty with air suspension.

I would keep the S
You would take a hit at trade-in
Though upgrade would make sense for a turbo

Thanks Pepper, but regardless of the depreciation hit, its time for a change and the Turbo is way over my price target.
I configured a new "CS" optioned with all the toys and cosmetic upgrades I liked and the price was almost the same as IMO the much beautiful and sporty GTS, just worried about the suspension being too stiff or harsh, that would be a deal killer for me.

jsaccio is infamous around these parts
air suspension

I just got a cayenne turbo with 21" tires and was very worried about a harsh ride. We test drove the new ML63 and it was very harsh ride. I've had a 997s and just traded an Audi S4.

I'm am amazed at how great the ride is on the cayenne. In the "normal" setting it's perfect for travel. The sport setting is even better than the Audi and the 997.

Mine does have the sport pkg with PDCC so perhaps it helps. I'm giving two thumbs up for the air suspension.

The new Cheyennes compared to the last GTS 08 I had are night and different.
Completely different suspension on the new ones.
I was worried as well, but after driving, you'll feel the same.
Comparing apples to apples, the old GTS had the PDC air suspension, etc.
New one is better in every way.

You'll be happy when you test drive the new GTS, in sure of it.
The power is the reason I upgraded, but still
Wonderful vehicle without question.

I was also worried about the ride being too harsh with the 22s..
It isn't..just firmer(which I appreciate )
The AS does a marvelous job allowing for a comfortable ride and proper handling as well

Just optioned an GTS online and after picking everything I had for my CTT, it was pretty close in price. Maybe less by about $8K (but I did get a $5K discount off MSRP). So, if the difference is so close, I'd opt for the more powerful turbo.

Here, a GTS is US$175,000 vs US$165,000 for a loaded CS
Turbo is US$ 245,000.

For me a GTS is a logical choice vs the Turbo.

Similarly optioned cayenne between models have a $20-$40k price separation here.
Even though more comes standard there is still a huge gap.
A GTS optioned similar to my CTT is about $120k, a cayenne S is about $115k vs my CTT sticker price of $148k plus all taxes on all models.

Ah, I didn't see where you were from. I just assumed you were in the US. Yes, that's a big price difference.

Wow, what did you put in yours to get to $148k? A kitchen sink? You must have purchased the PCCB and Burmeister stereo? Those 2 options would push it about another $10K+ over my price I suppose.

I just pulled the trigger and placed a deposit for September build, loaded GTS.
Classic silver, Black leather/alcantara interior, Turbo II wheels, Burmester stereo, red seatbelts and red gauges , and a retractable electric tow hook and black roof rails, I will sell the "S" and the Lexus GX , I need this truck to be more useful playing the role of both.

It will look like this one,
