Taycan GTS and Sport Turismo GTS revealed

[Sport_Turismo_GTS]

Announced this morning:
https://www.porsche.com/uk/models/taycan/taycan-mo...

The GTS sits between the 4S and Turbo model in the range and the Sport Turismo gives the practically of the Cross Trim bodyshell, but with lower suspension and a more dynamic set-up. Plus none of the plastic 'off road' body additions.

I've placed an order with my dealer this morning - expected Q2 2022 delivery.

Really like the look. I can definitely see the need for the GTS model.

It's not what I would personally order - very pleased with my Cross Tursimo - but it really does make sense as part of the overall Taycan offering.

I've been waiting for this announcement for ages. Really impressed with the 4S I drove but just felt it could just do with a bit more power. GTS is nearer the 4S in power terms than the Turbo, I was hoping it would be bang in the middle. Slightly disappointed but at least it's here now. Man maths time.....

For me the power was somewhat irrelevant - the 4S was likely to be more than adequate in 95%+ of scenarios anyway. Having said that, I didn’t go too crazy on the short test drive I had, to really see what the 4S could do. I also have to remind myself of the kerb weight of this car to put the bhp into context. I guess more power is always better!

I couldn’t justify the cost of the Turbo for a daily driver, didn’t like the high stance of the Cross Turismo or the body mouldings, so the Sport version in GTS packaging ticks all the boxes.

The new dimmable roof is something that should have been available from day 1 and I think will be very popular, subject to price!

Out of interest where is your dealer? I was told an order for a CT would be in to 2023 at the moment.

I imagine the new model doesn't have any waiting list as it has just been announced , hence the shorter lead time than the CT

I've had a letter of intent for some time and my OPC indicated that I was first on their list for this car, so I'm expecting Q2 2022, based on the timescales announced by Porsche yesterday.

Obviously nothing is confirmed at this stage.

I have the panoramic roof on my 4S. Recently I got a huge stone chip right at the top of the windscreen. Thankfully it just missed the glass roof, but others haven’t been so lucky. It’s worth bearing in mind as it’d be an expensive fix.

hope the dimmable tech and production costs have improved since Ferrari put one in the 575 - I think the replacement cost of that was really really painful.
Do like the car, looks good and am sure they will sell a lot of these as hardly anybody really needs additional ground clearance of the Cross Turismo.

Is the dimmable roof carried over to the CT ?

It’s coming to all other models from January 2022

[DaveGrohl]

Is there an option to delete the fancy roof? I'd much rather save the money thanks and spend it elsewhere.

The panaromic roof itself is an option (personally I will not be speccing it) and I fully expect going by Porsches philosophy of charging for everything that the variable light control will be an additional cost on top of the basic panaromic roof.

It’s just an option you can choose not to specify.

It’s not clear at this stage whether the standard Panoramic roof will still be available or whether the only option will be the ‘Panoramic roof with variable light control’, at presumably a (much?) higher cost than the basic roof.

It's a Porsche...they rape us at every given opportunity Will offer both options the new one probably being £500 more!

I'd be amazed if it is only £500 more than the basic panoramic roof!

My Porsche ID has been updated with a VIN number, suggesting my car has now gone into production…

Bloody Hell, that’s been a long wait; I admire your perseverance. I remember ordering one on the first day being released as well, having already had an order in for a CT, with the salesman guessing I’d get the GTS allocation first! In the end I got my CT allocation a couple of weeks later and binned the GTS. Anyway, sure it will have been worth the wait and not too much longer to go……..

In fairness, I didn’t want it much sooner as my new garage with solar panels for electric charging is still not completed (although will be finished before the end of the month)!

My car has now been produced and is at Emdem, waiting for a ferry to bring it to these shores. Unfortunately it appears there are quite a few cars already there, so at this stage not clear exactly how long it will take.
