Ice Grey Taycan GTS delivered

[Jasong]

I had a 4S and I am getting a GTS.
I had an extensive test drive in a GTS and I could tell no difference dynamically.
Perhaps Lars Kern can tell the difference and get round the Nurburgring 2 seconds quicker with that RWD bias and extra torque vectoring!
For us mortals there is no difference!

I definitely would take the 4S a year earlier.
Especially if you intended to de-GTS the GTS with a leather interior! Then it’s a 4S with a body kit and a different badge and better headlights!
Also don’t bother trying to make a 4S a GTS with 20 k of extras. Chucking money away. A base 4S is lovely.
Wheels, paint plus 5k of extras will give you your perfect sensibly priced car that will hold its value and trade it in for a GTS in 2024!
Win win.

Thanks Ross, sounds like good advice.. and what I wanted to hear!

Oh wow those black door handles are popping. Wasn't an option at the time I got my TTS.

hmmmmmmm. Great spec!

Thanks, I wasn’t sure on the black door handles as I had only seen them on the configurator , but i am really pleased with how they look as they contrast well with the ice grey and match the other glass back elements .

Looking good! What’s your favourite colour out of the three? I have a black macan and struggling to move away from black for my upcoming 4s Cross Turismo…

I have to say Ice Grey is my favourite , I think the lighter colours suit the Taycan better and show the lines off mor than the dark colours and I wanted the contrast with the gloss black elements and black wheels. The black Macan looks great when clean but I am fed up with the maintenance on the car and it shows all the dirt, swirls etc. I won’t have a black car again. Gentian blue is a great
colour too but only really pops when the sun is on it, otherwise it can look a big flat.

I have just discovered and joined the forum, so I thought I would post my thoughts having just collected my second Taycan an Ice Grey GTS

My first car a Gentian Blue 4s was collected the day before the first COVID lockdown in March 2020, having had a deposit down for a year before the official launch in September 2019, very lucky to get it and it was the first and only dealer car to be delivered until after the lockdown ended, I had no handover and it was my first EV, so had to take the keys and drive it home, but I wanted the car and having owned Porsche's before was happy to ' work it out ' for myself.

Loved the car two years of pretty much trouble free motoring, a few electrical bugs but nothing that stopped me driving the car, did 8,000 miles and only went to the dealer for the various software updates. To me it was like having a larger 911 albeit not as nimble but addictive acceleration and good enogh handling for what I required.

Placed a speculative deposit on a GTS September 2021, having had 991 GTS , I knew this would be the sweet spot of the range, ordred on launch day and was allocated the first dealer spot, delievery was meant to be mid March but due the well known about supply problems this was pushed back a month so not too bad and I eventually collected it on Friday last week.

A few comments on the spec, I did not want to go overbaord on options so kept it to £10k,

1. Ice grey - I have a black Macan and had Gentian blue so wanted a different colour, and something not too in your face, so pleased with the Ice Grey, subtle yet different and really works with all the black accents on the GTS
2. I went full race tech interior in red, I had this is my previous GTS and wanted the car to fee sporty, having had full leather in my previous Taycan, so pleased I did, love the race tech and I have never had wear issues before, I do 6,000 miles a year so not excessive but for me a GTS has to have it.
3. I dropped the passenger screen I had before, never used it
4. I dropped the rear air con, I don't have rear passengers that often and the regular air con is good enough
5. I dropped the middle seat as again not used and wanted all the seats to match
6. I love the GTS sport sound, I didn't have it on my last car and it sounds great, deep and sporty
7. I have the new PCM with coloured icons, it is faster than my last car, I never really minded the older version but this better.
8. It does have the GTS badging on the side skirts thankfully
9. I went to gloss black door handles and lower mirror trims to break up the side of the car and compliment the charge port, I think it works well
10. Didn't spec rear wheel steering, I have never had it so not missing it, although I know many of you say it is a must have but I needed to keep the options sensible and I wanted the full race tech interior and pano roof .
    

I have not done many miles in the car yet, but I love it, stupidly fast, yet just as comfortable as the 4s, I have not tried all the suspension settings yet but normal mode feels the same as my 4s did to be honest, and I had 20 inch wheels before and now have 21s, so no complaints there.

I will post more pictures when I get a chance, but wanted to post my first thoughts on the car.

Hope this is useful

I just got Carrera white gts. traded in base model ice Grey with mission e wheels painted to match car color. Love love the gts in all ways but I miss the ice Grey on mission wheels..turned more heads.

That looks amazing. I did want crayon for my gts but think I want Ice grey now! I really need to see one in the flesh before ordering
