Just took delivery of my new GTS. I had an allocation but, this car became available after a cancelation so I decided to snag it rather than waiting a year.
It did not come with the PCM update, still monochrome. I traded my 2020 Turbo. Straight away this car is not as bonkers in acceleration as the Turbo on launch, but the extra torque over the 4s is noticeable throughout the curve.
Only issue so far is no GTS badging on the side skirts. Nobody at the dealer could answer why, but they are looking. There was no delete selected on the build sheet.
Tint next week. Stealth xpel scheduled for early May.
UPDATE:
0-60 results...spoiler alert: not great.....however there is a caveat. The Dragy showed a negative slope for these runs vs a positive slope for the runs in the 4s in the exact same location, so maybe the dragy was having issues. The 4s did not have the thermal glass and the GTS does.
75% SOC
Run 1 3.38 1ft rollout 3.62
Run 2 3.35 1ft rollout 3.61
I'm a big guy 300lbs + or -. So im always a tenth or so slower than average. This the first Porsche (911's, Taycan Turbo, and a Cayenne) that has not been at least 1-2 tenths quicker than advertised. It is .15 quicker than a 4s I tested recently in the same location. It's very close 0-30 to the 4s and breaks away from 30-60.
I'm very surprised at this result as the 140+ extra ft/lbs of torque should be moving this car faster in the first 60' than the 4s, but it's nearly identical. I was really hoping for high 3.3x to low 3.4x for me.
Hoping to get to the airstrip over the weekend for some 1/4 runs and further testing.
