I currently have a 2012.5 991 C2S and while I love the car, I wouldn't mind AWD and more space. I nearly bought a new 2012 Panamera S (400 hp) a couple years ago.


What are your thoughts on the new twin turbo V6? How's the sound? I am a big fan of the GTS and love the standard features that come with it. Let me know your input! Thanks.

I love the sound from the 2014 P4S. Especially when you push it a little bit, the butterfly valves open up in the exhaust and it just roars.

However with that being said, I would of prefered it that they kept the NA v8 for it.

I love my '14S sound. Just enough when the loud pedal is pushed.

GTS hands down. It's still a V-8 for 14. .

I don't and I have the thermal insulated windows but the exhaust noise comes through pretty darn good! From the outside it sounds pretty mean even without it.

If you can afford it, get the GTS. The car does it all right

If you're interested, I'm going to be unloading my '14 GTS very shortly. Life has been a bit more generous than I anticipated and I'm going to be picking up a '14 Turbo. I have an April allocation so I'm hoping to get it in the next 6 weeks.

Cheers,
