2019 Porsche Cayenne GTS's New Features
Compared with the previous Cayenne GTS, which was installed with a manual transmission, the new model features an eight-speed Tiptronic S automatic transmission and engine stop-start system. All-wheel drive is still standard. The new model, which also carries the GTS badge, makes its official world debut this month at the 2012 Beijing Auto Show before hitting showrooms in August as a 2013 model. The specially tuned engine and transmission mixture allow the 2013 Cayenne GTS to sprint from a standing start to 60 mph in 5.4 seconds and to accomplish a top speed of 162 mph. To aid handling and dynamics, the car has been lowered by 20 mm and obtained a lower final drive ratio. Porsche has ultimately unveiled a successor for its hard core 2013 Porsche Cayenne GTS, which is depending on the Cayenne S, sharing a naturally-aspirated V-8 engine. However, peak output has been lifted by 20 horsepower to 420 horsepower.
It is an SUV with sports car-like performance and which during the time of its release was charged as one of the fastest production off-roaders on the earth. The car is identifiable from the outside by its high-gloss black trim, wider wheel arches, sporty side sills, and the hood and front fascia of the Cayenne Turbo. Other details contain a sports exhaust system with matte black twin tailpipes, 20-inch RS Spyder wheels with a distinctive offset, and two new available colors: Peridot Metallic and Carmine Red. Inside, car owners will find unique eight-way adjustable front sports seats with Alcantara accents that exclusive to the GTS model. And, for the first time in the Cayenne, Porsche's Sport Chrono package is now available, allowing owners to monitor the performance. Porsche has also added a sound generation to channel the engine intake sound into the cabin to remind owners that the Cayenne they're driving is just that little bit more special. Becoming a member of the 2013 Porsche Cayenne GTS in showrooms this year is the 2013 Cayenne Diesel, which recently made its world debut and goes on sale in September.
Just my two cents, of course. Yeah, last time I checked you can't get both stereos, and that is why it is ZERO for the turbo, and what it would be for each model. The point is some options do not cost the same per model, and that's what's important to consider. And the Burmeister is cheaper on the turbo. It's a pro-forma based upon unknown variables and associated pricing. Dropping anchor "somewhere" is better than not doing so at all. Simply remove the options you don't want, or remove them all. A stripped turbo is, well, what it is. Just my 10 cents. Last edited by SilverSteel; 04-30-2019 at 10:36 PM. This is an excellent analysis for turbo buyers to see what they are forking over for the engine upgrade from the base/s models, after adjusting for included options. 15k or so in options to cover what I really need/want.
And I doubt any sane base model buyers would spend more than half of the base price in options. That's an absurd statement. One wouldn't spend more then half of the base price on options unless that is what they want, can afford, and plan to keep the vehicle for awhile. I think it is insane to spend the money it takes to buy a Porsche and not get what you want on it if you can afford it. These two diametrically opposed points of view illustrate what is, to me, the quintessential Porsche buying experience. We're all buying or have bought a car (forgive me, SUV) that makes zero sense financially, rationally, or really any other way at all. I've posted many times in the short time I've been a Rennlister that my view is, if you want to make a sound automotive purchase, buy a damned Camry. Anything over and above that is a purely emotive purchase -- I want; I have the means; so I am buying.
SilverSteel's table follows our own thinking as we attempted to "rationalize" our upgrade to a Turbo from a highly optioned S build. Looking back at our Cayenne purchase odyssey, we both really wanted the baddest, fastest, most overtly gregarious SUV Porsche had to offer. 147,650). We justified based on resale (heavily optioned S will tank relative to lightly optioned Turbo) and our own desire to drive the Darrell Waltrip of SUVs. Bottom line, which I've also posted before: It's a Porsche. Buy what you want and can afford. Who gives a bleep what anybody else thinks? Thank you to the OP for the useful thread. I think its worth emphasizing the following point: buying a Cayenne Turbo for 145k is an objectively better financial decision than buying a 145k Cayenne S because the former will depreciate slower than the latter. Similarly, buying an S for 100k is a better financial decision than buying a 100k Base because the former will depreciate slower than the latter.
