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!)

Amen on the PDK. The reality is that very, very, very few people ever take their Pepper's off road and I'm sure that small percentage declines quickly to those who chose the GTS model.

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!

Wish it came with PDK! I am guessing next gen. models will have this option available.

Perhaps, Macan?!

I drove a 991 PDK this weekend and I must say it is hard to justify spending $$$ on a TIP transmission is this age.

+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.

As usual GTS is mostly for looks, would love the PDK on the Cayenne!
