New PTT Owner

First time poster here,


I bought a 2011 Panamera Turbo (Basalt ext/Black int.) with 60k kilometers (about 37,5k miles)with some extra toys 2 months ago and so far i've been loving every single mile in it.


I'm not going bore you guys with a write up on the car's fantastic build quality,it's sharp handling and top class interior because this has pretty much been covered already for more than a few times I guess.
The most important thing to me is that the PTT puts a smile on my face every time I get in it,being it for a short run around town or a trip up into the mountains.
There are already a few modest mods that I have in mind but more about that later.


BTW I'll post some pics later on.

Welcome! Glad you are enjoying your PTT. I've had my 2011 PTT for almost 1yr now. It puts a smile on my face every morning

Is it CPO?

Thanks for the welcome guys.


@mrrippey : The PCCB's are one of those rare items that actually do what the brochure claims they do ; absolutely fade free braking time and time again!
Haven't been on the track just yet but planning on going to the Nurgburgring shortly since its's located only 300 km's from my place.

Question Ptt

I've been contemplating a replacement for my 2011 PTT lately. Difficult decision given that I really don't know what I'd be happy with in terms of replacement. It's been the perfect DD-especially with the added exhaust to wake it up(Fabspeed)! It's very well spec'd and only lacks the PCCB with a $165k sticker. Only 20k miles and wonder if I should sell it now or drive it for another 20k and then sell? Coming from M5 as my DD sedans not sure much and touch the overall package and handling of my PTT. I've been looking at the other potential competitors in it's class but dynamically, nothing touches it in my mind. I think I'll have to go to the sports car class to measure up.

Have you considered adding a tune? One of the things customers always notice with the PTT tune is that the car feels about 500 pounds lighter. Not so much in regards to the handling, but the increased throttle response and manner in which it accelerates. With such a large car, adding some power and throttle response can really help change the driving experience.

Yes, I've added the GIAC switchable tune in addition to the exhaust mods(fabspeed downpipe with sportcats and xpipe with stock sport mufflers)on my car. The combo is highly recommended and probably the reason I feel the way I do about the car! I don't think anything can touch it in it's class-especially with the simple mods I've added. I totally agree with you on this car and I'm a very difficult to please with my automotive A.D.D.
