Cayenne GTS 2012

The GTS looks like a great package, but I think they missed an opportunity and should have added a PDK transmission to this model, and eliminated any towing options....would have been fantastic. I have a 2011 CTT and the transmission is definitely the weakest link in its performance.

PDK would have set it apart from other Cayennes,and given it a sportier feel
Also,how bout a choice other than "arrest me "red and "up-chuck" green:roll eyes:
The transmission in my CT has always performed well and I drove it real hard for the first 3000 miles(Autobahn)
Looking forward to a GIAC tune(possibly by the end of the month!)

However, I believe that offering the PDK would have required a whole new round of Federal certifcations and that would have been expensive. I think the 8 speed slushbox in the Pepper is a damned fine gearbox and perfectly fine for real world use.
BTW - As I read the micro-site on Porsche's website today that horrible green and very bright red are GTS specific colors but you can still get the full range of other colors on a GTS. For my money, a GTS in meteor grey would be stunning.

Yea I did too. Aside from aesthetics theres not that much going on. Only 0.2 sec faster than the S, top speed is relatively the same.

I love it, I'm on the list w/ my local dealer for their first 2013 allocations for an S, and today, It's changed to the GTS. I don't need the turbo, but I wanted something that looked more aggressive than the S, this fits the bill completely, I can't wait!

+1 and youre right no manual. The old GTS with a manual transmission was an awesome truck. I cant imagine how great this GTS with the lighter weight, more power, and better everything wouold be with a manual. Oh well we will never know.
