Jet Black Cayenne Turbo 2011
I am located in Dubai, UAE.
You are right - the packages are different in different regions and that's why the base prices are also different. Base prices are usually higher here because of more equipment being standard (if Porsche can get away with selling more equipment as standard and also charge for it in some regions - why not?). 2011 Cayenne Turbo starting prices is approx. US$ 130,000. Sticker for mine is $139k.
I had copied and pasted the option list as given to me by the dealer. However, upon follow up & further research, I can confirm that some of the things on that list are standard in our region for the 2011 Cayenne Turbo, such as the Full leather interior, Alcantara headliner and PDCC.
HomeLink is not standard in our region and it's approximately $250 extra.
Floor mats - well, its the same story everywhere

Heated seats are standard. Dont ask me why considering no one will use in this extremely hot & humid climate.
I'm not exactly sure how that compares to your base price and standard equipment but hope the info is helpful for your comparison
In case you are curious about the differences in standard & optional equipment and prices, attached is the U.S. order guide.
Love the color, hate to keep it (black) clean.
Cheers

Awesome ride, congrats 03LX470. Turbo+PDCC FTW.
In regards to Cayenne vs Panamera all I can say is the Cayenne Turbo is blindingly fast. In fact, it is a rather large let-down when I go from my Cayenne to my GT3RS. The RS feels like a turtle. No joke.

Aluminum Skid Plate
Just had the the front aluminum skid plate delivered by the courier company. Box not yet opened.
Is this a DIY job that can be handled by any general mechanical work auto shop or can only be fitted by the Porsche dealer?
Thanks

I think that the aluminum skid plates on the front and rear, really make a HUGE difference on how this car looks. I dont understand why none of the cars spec'd by the dealers come with them (its only $1200), compared to the costs of some other options. Great car and great write up. I thought I was going to get my wife a Pan TT but your review and the other comments make me rethink. I have another year to figure it out.

Thanks guys
Very nice. 21 inch wheels with PASM, PDCC and PTV would make the ultimate performance package. Great job. I personally settled for a slight compromise on the performance with the 20 inch wheels on the S version but did get PASM, PTV and PDCC. One question: Do you have a noise/thermal insulating glass or is that aftermarket tint.
