New Taycan GTS and Taycan 4 Announced

[amelen]

My dream build: https://porsche-code.com/PSW8YC84
For the low low price of $188k.

Prices definitely creeped up. My well-specced Turbo was $163,970 (-$7,500 fed credit, and no sales tax at the time in NJ). Pricing out the new Turbo, I'd be over $200k, which is why I decided to try a G-Wagon instead. GTS I could have been at like $175k (without active ride), and just as fast and better range then my Turbo.

Not apples to apples in terms of performance, but the electric-Gwagon is $185K MSRP (and I'm getting a slight discount off MSRP). That's with the required "edition 1" package that comes with everything pretty much.

Separately, my '21 Turbo is pretty much on-par with the new GTS in terms of features (other then active ride control). Selling at auction at $72k right now if you don't mind a bright green car lol

Love the new options and spec. But in Norway for a good speced GTS the price is $200k. So that's a hard no from me. Will keep my current GTS for a few more years

Mistyped. I meant it does gain Active Ride. I'm curious if expect with this option, if It renders GTS suspension tuning moot. Will play with the configurator later today and find out

Active Suspension will also be GTS tuned. I am not sure how that differs from other trim tuning.

Active Ride is a $7,150 option for the GTS Sport Turismo version in the U.S. Perhaps not in some other countries.

It keeps the 4s new front end too it seems, vs getting the turbo front end.

I find this specific design choice very odd. They could have come up with some kind of GTS specific
Sport Design package to make it look a little different as in more aggressive.

In the "old days" (not related to Taycan, but on 911s which didn't have air suspension), a GTS has a specific set of springs and dampers and one can configure it to "delete" the GTS suspension by adding PASM. IIRC, this was for the 997 and 991 GTS and likely Panamera, Cayanne, Macan too. In effect you lose the suspension benefit of a GTS (other than the interior trim and power bump). But since the Taycan is on air suspension, I'm guessing Active Ride is just a GTS specific tune with the same parts.

Yes. It is a bummer for me , I was looking forward to something between 4S and Turbo with Turbo look or something closer to J1 front end flow.. it isn’t that I don’t like it, but won’t be rushing out to buy it.

been playing with the configurator for a bit. IMO, pricing is not bad at all. I'm still able to configure a GTS ST with decent specs and matching my minimal needs for $167k.

Roughly spec'd as my current one is, £150k...so I bet £80k-£100k to change.

Not happening

The price seems good here in the US. There is a lot included in the GTS that you have to pay extra for on the 4S. I did a quick run through the configurator and calculated that it is only a few grand premium for the config I’d want vs the 4S I ordered earlier this year. Plus the ST style is available compared to the CT, and you can spec ST with bike rack prep here in the US now (afaik this wasn’t a thing here on the previous gen).

Oh well, what’s done is done now, but the GTS would have been an easy choice for me had I been more patient.

GTS ST always had the bike prep as an option. I have it on mine.

In the US tho? I see you have a UK icon. I could be wrong but I had been avoiding any GTS previously because bike rack prep is a must have for me.

The GTS is the perfect "sweet spot" again.
The specs are more than sufficient.
I'm kind of a geek, having a full specced Turbo S CT and now building a perfect GTS for 200K.
No full spec needed anymore, as I know the (dis-) advantages of each spec well.
no...I am happy with my J1....am I? I AM! Errrrr

Had an out of the blue call (GM) from my dealer today about replacement car for next year.

Let's just say he wasn't pushing the Taycan at all and admitted to the collapse in the market and that the J1.2 was only a stop gap and a poor selling one at that.

Didn't realise the GTS got launched today at the time.

Curious to see what deal might be on offer - all models of Porsche (apart from the exotics) on offer at a discount apparently.
