I haven't seen anything on the web yet?

 

My guess is it's not released yet, so they don't have any available. I would look for some reviews in Jan/Feb.

 

interested in this thread and can not wait until we get some feedback from . . . . .

 

Absolutely. I'll be really interested in how the laptimes compare to the Turbo. GTS should make up time in braking and through the corners. On a tight track I'm sure it will be quicker. Prob not quite on the though.

I'm thinking this will be the best drivers car.

 

I'm in...waiting for some good reviews!

 

Same here. On paper it looks great. Has anyone come up with a build sheet that makes sense (to them). I have been playing around with the config on the P site and it seems the car will be about 120-125K they way I would want it.

Interested in how other would build it.

 

My build info is below. I went with Platinum Silver and Black interior, MSRP $120K. Standard features with the GTS included everything I would have added to a 4S or Turbo, great package.

OPTION 343 Heated Seats Front and Rear
OPTION 418 20" 911 Turbo II Wheels
OPTION 457 Ln-Chge-Asst/Blnd-Spt-Detect
OPTION 638 ParkAssist (F&R) w/ Rev Camera
OPTION 680 Bose® Surround Sound System
OPTION 686 SiriusXM(TM) Sat Radio Tuner
OPTION 861 Elec Roll-up Shade-RearSideWin
OPTION 658 Servotronic
OPTION 625 Porsche Entry & Drive

 

I've been playing as well, but I added the red exteriorblack/red stitching interior with heated front/rear seats and the Burm. My question is wheels...I thought they were already upgraded as part of the GTS package. Anyone know for sure?

 

This is my build. Production date 02.01.12.

OPTION 418 20" 911 Turbo II Wheels
OPTION 630 Int Light Pkg for Rear Compart
OPTION 638 ParkAssist (F&R) w/ Rev Camera
OPTION 658 Servotronic
OPTION 680 Bose® Surround Sound System

MSRP 115,280 minus 3% discount. Black with black interior.

Although I know Burm is fantastic I do not feel it is worth the extra few thousand bucks. I only use my ipod on the car. My Panamera had XM and I never bothered to even turn it on so for me it is no use. I really do not think their weather and traffic tool is really that good. I know it would be good in resale but...

I also had entry and drive and for whatever reason I do not care too much for it. The GTS comes pretty packed up with standard features, honestly not really too much to add. The standard wheel is 19. I live in Miami so don't really need heated seats... Sportdesign seats will not allow seat vent but not so bad with Alcantara though. My current Panamera did not have lighting in the back and I hate it so added it this time (sounds ridiculous but I think it looks kind of weird not to have lighting under the driver seat). I was tempted to add the LED lighting but not worth 1000 bucks.

The only thing I might regret is lane assist. I was back and forth with it and decided not to add it last minute.

 

Here's how I would option out the GTS:

Platinum Silver Metallic with Black Interior
20" Turbo II wheels
Porsche Entry & Drive
ParkAssist w/Rev Camera
Bose Surround Sound
SAT - XM w/ HD receiver
PDCC w/Torque Vectoring
Lugg Compart Retract Roll Cov

MSRP of $123,540

I optioned out both a 4S ($132,690) and a Turbo ($156,735) with everything the GTS has, and they still don't have:

Alcantara seats (very important with no seat ventilation)
Lower and stiffer suspension setting in Sport Plus
Sound Symposer that routes engine intake sound in through the A pillars
Black side-skirts, rear diffuser and exhaust tips

And of course the 4S doesn't have the Turbo spoiler or brakes, or the 430 HP GTS engine.

I'm also betting the GTS will be quicker than the Turbo on some tracks. Can't wait for the reviews.
