Anybody know what happened to the Cayenne Turbo S? Will it return soon? Ready to order but........

 

With the 958, didn't the Turbo S show up in 2013, 2 years after the launch? I am assuming Porsche won't release a Turbo S this year.

 

Indeed. Same can be said for the GTS

 

But this is still the 958 - only a slight facelift. No mechanical changes that I know of so I figured the Turbo S would still be available. I've been designing a new Turbo so I will just go for the "regular" Turbo & add the secondary cat bypass pipes & GIAC tune.

 

Looks like Irish21 on another thread says the GTS and Turbo S for a late Nov build date. You'll probably want to confirm with your SA.

 

Thanks - Will try and get info from dealer. In building a Turbo I'm up to over 170,000.00 already so having second thoughts on the S. With the cat bypass & GIAC will be close or equal to the S power levels.

 

With those mods the Turbo should best the Turbo S by 20-40HP, per GIAC.

 

But imagine a Turbo S with GIAC!

 

Rumour has it there is one in San Francisco.

For 2014 were there many options on the Turbo that are standard on the Turbo S? A reason that a loaded Turbo S wouldn't cost that much more than a loaded non S.

 

When I ordered my CTTS, the main standard options over the CTT where

• PDCC
• PTV
• high gloss back exterior
• 2 tone color scheme was no charge option

Even factoring the PDCC/PTV, as I recall the step up was still hefty. On the CTT there were a few option packages where as on the CTTS everything was a la carte.

 

If you go into the configurator and enter the code PFKG72A0 you'll see my specs. Already up to 173,000.00. Even if the PDCC/PTV and possibly a few other options are standard on the S will probably be up to 200,000.00. Not willing to go that high so probably will not wait for the S. I would rather have the options.

 

Heh... you really went option happy. My MY2014 CTTS is almost like yours with the exception of

• soft close doors - not available on MY2014
• Side Door Proteciton Molding... $990!?!?
• The Chrono package was standard on CTTS, but I opted for a compass
• 21" 911 Turbo Wheels.. I went with black sports wheels...
• white instrument dials - cool but I passed on it
• saddle brown seat belts
• fire extinguisher - cool but I passed on it
• soo much leather!
• Online Services..... heard from others this was not worth it

My CTTS was in the ball park of your CTT in price. Forgot I had these pics from my detailer.

 

Don't bother with the factory extinguisher. I ordered it as I had a minor car fire while I was looking for that car's replacement, but it's not worth it. The problem is that it appears to be a Euro spec unit and not even the dealers can replace it if needed. The bottle is an odd shape that we don't seem to have in the US, so you can't put a different bottle in its place.

If you want an extinguisher, get an after market kit with a bottle size that is easier to replace should you need.

 

I have it in both other Cayennes for safety reasons. Never used it which is a good thing. If I need it just once it will be worth it. May just mount a larger one in the back.

 

I got it for that reason too (as mentioned I had just had a minor fire that I was lucky half a bottle of water took care of). Even if not used you're supposed to replace extinguishers every so often, but you can't unless you want to pay through the nose for shipping a pressurized container from Europe.

It's also in a bad location being under the passenger seat. With the center console you pretty much have to get out, run around the car, and then get it (hopefully the door is unlocked). That's a lot of wasted time... (speaking of, I wonder if I could swap sides? have to look at that)

I'm all for having one in the car, I'm just suggesting that you'd be better off with a aftermarket option.
