Taycan Cross Turismo Gentian Blue with 22" wheels & ski roof box

[sydenfareren]

Finally its my turn.

Got my 22mod Taycan cross turismo last week, been waiting since oktober. Got to try it out on snow, must say i am impressed. Did use the 21" wheels for winter wheels. Got the Hankook Ice 3 winter 275 front and 315 back. Looks good.

Also got it delivered with skibox painted in gentien blue. Love the look of it. It is the skiguard 830S with Thule bars. sits really low.

Will put 22" wheels on when summer comes, maybe lowering it, not sure yet.

Thinking of painting the wheelarches and mayby put on some carbon bits. Open for suggestions.

Very impressed by the driving feeling, i come from an Audi rs6 C7 performance, but this is an much better car to drive, despite it is heavier, it feels lighter.

Sweet. Love the color-match roof box. How’d you get it painted? Maybe this is a Europe only option… I am in the US. I want to get the Thule Vector Alpine (looks like it may be the US version of the same thing?) pained Neptune Blue but I’ve no idea how to get it done.

I also did look in to painting wheel arches… apparently you cannot paint those textured plastic ones. You can order a set of primed but not painted wheel arches from Porsche. Technically, they are a replacement part for the Turbo S CT. My dealership quoted me US$1950, which was a bit rich for my blood in the end, so I’m learning to love the textured plastic… for now.

+1 - sums up my thoughts exactly (except the arrival which is hopefully before the end of the year in my case).

Can you tell us about the range difference between with and without roof box ?

There was a test by carWow that resulted in a 12% lower range. It was with a skoda enyaq. But I assume the car does not matter much.
So expect something between 10% and 15% at ±110 km/h / 70 mi/h.

I got the skibox painted and delivered by the dealer. I am not quite sure of the wheel arches. I think some have painted the plastic ones?
