GTS Sport Turismo - What are your "must have" options?

[W1NGE]

I’m not sure about PDCC.

Isn’t there a good reason it’s not on any GT cars?!

Probably but the Taycan isn't a "GT" or close to.

The standard wheels just look a bit odd don't they? As a minimum I'd upgrade to the Turbo Aero wheels.

The standard GTS wheels ARE the Turbo Aero wheels just painted black.

I think it can also change based on the radio/music content?

Correct.

I haven't had a test drive with PDCC but have had na similar system on a BMW 6 series. With the low centre of gravity in an EV i decided it would probably only be noticed on the track.

What do you think of Volcano Grey with Bordeaux Red interior? Incidentally, I think the Turbo Aero wheels look good with the grey exterior but my problem would be they make look too much like a 4S.

The standard GTS wheels are physically identical to the Turbo S aero wheels optional on other Taycans but painted all satin black rather than gloss black with machined highlights. I like them far more, personally.
I also like the GTS Spider ones painted all satin black more than having the shiny highlights you get if you option them with other models.

I think privacy glass ruins the line of the car.

Personally I think the standard “Roof in aluminium, contoured design with dynamic recess profile” looks much nicer than the glass one too.

The electric charge ports are a cool gadget but ar just something else to go wrong and not needed since you need to be at the port to plug the cable in so no hardship to open the standard one.

As you say it is a personal thing.
I only do the occasional motorway journey and avoid times when the traffic may be really heavy and for me the adaptive cruise control I have now slows me more often than I like and I drive with it off more often than on, I am looking forward to going back to a normal cruise control leaving me to decide. I realise it would be good if I was a heavy traffic commuter - but I never have been.

The big benefit of active ARBs is that they are softer than conventional ones but preloaded in corners. It means on a bumpy road the single wheel rate is lower and the ride (should be) better.

Correct.

Turbo S Aero actually.

Yes I understand this. It worked on my very heavy 650 BMW but it needed it. Even with this the body roll was greater than a Taycan with no PMCC.

OK, I chose it for the ride, probably won’t notice much difference in roll.
One of my friends did some development driving on the Taycan and he was surprised when I said I wasn’t going to get it, so when Bose was unavailable and I dropped the racetex roof lining and B pillar I ticked the box!

I got to 20k euros in options so had to stop myself lol. The other thing that swayed me was that I had loads of trouble with it on my BMW. It was in fact the ony fault I had. It used to overheat and disable itself when driving hard or in hot temperatures. The dealer could not find the cause.

I slightly regret not ticking the PDCC box. It wasn’t a money-based decision, more I just didn’t think I’d need it. If I’d have had a chance to add it to my configuration after my PEC day, I would have. However, I’m almost 100% certain I wouldn’t notice or use it on the road.

Turbo S Aero actually.

Full disclosure, I never would have noticed they are the same design as the Turbo S wheels and I have them on my 4SCT! They look really strange in satin black.

add WIDIA brake discs and brake calipers. I have tested stock brakes and de surface coated brakes and they SCB preform 10 times better... so I ordered WIDIA brake discs
Don't forget its still a verry heavy car

Not a ST GTS but my soon to be GTS Saloon spec ? I like the carbon / black on red theme

I went all out on my 22 GTS ST. Going to take delivery in the next two weeks hopefully.

Only thing I regret is picking up the mobile charger connect.

The thing I really wanted was the sun control roof. Annoyed because they had announced it last year and then said it’s only for MY23 after a bunch of reviewers highlighted it and hyped it up.

Must have next steps:
- dashcam (going with the new VIOFO 139 Pro with the new Starvis 2 sensor)
- PPF - probably a stek satin.
